Can we give Annette Bening an Oscar yet? Avatar: Pandora awaits! And there's even more to discover this time around as payable James Cameron and company ramp up the special features for this well-timed gift season release. Three discs full of blue-skinned Blu-ray extras include original version of the mega-blockbuster that is now the biggest grossing film of all time, special edition re-release, collector's extended cut, an additional 16 minutes of footage with alternate opening, family audio track with all "objectionable language removed" and Capturing Avatar, an in-depth documentary with Jon Landau and Cameron, Open Pandora's Box, interactive scene deconstruction, Avatar archives, production shorts and more.

The Kids are All Right: Can we give Annette Bening an Oscar yet? The woman deserves all kinds of hardware not only for staying married to Warren Beatty, but also turning in two of the best performances of the year -- including this one as a lesbian mom struggling to deal with her kids' desire to bond with their biological father (Mark Ruffalo).

Bening's other half, played by Julianne Moore, adds another dimension to the mix as she begins to feel neglected and seeks out physical affirmation in all the wrong places. The real accomplishment of this film is how effortless director Lisa Cholodenko ( Laurel Canyon, High Art) makes it look. Unwinding under the warm sun of Los Angeles, The Kids are All Right glows all over. From the sun-baked scenes of the city to the chemistry between the players, this movie pulses with energy.
