AVATAR: The First Reviews Are In

The first media previews have begun and while an embargo keeps most press from writing about it that hasn’t stopped the UK's Sun which has already declared parts of AVATAR to be “absolutely mind-blowing.” The Guardian honors the embargo but reports on the 3D effects (they won’t make you nauseous). Alex Billington from FirstShowing said over Twitter: “James Cameron is a freakin’ genius! I can’t say much but wow, I loved it. Avatar was phenomenal, pretty much blew me away.” Ed Douglas from ComingSoon says, “I’ll take my chances with Fox legal…. Avatar was amazing, I loved it!” Slashfilm has more Twitter reactions here, and The Hollywood Reporter gushes that James Cameron is “King of the world” and “movie magic is back!”
Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said the Reds made an offer to Laynce Nix, however he opted to become a free agent.
"They still may take it," Jocketty said. "But they want to see what’s out there. We weren’t comfortable with what the arbitration figure would be. With Gomes, we wanted to keep some protection. I still thinks there’s a chance we’ll get something done with him."

Cubs Unlikely To Land Halladay
By Zach Links [November 22 at 5:45pm CST]Although the Cubs would "love" to pull off a deal for Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, they are unlikely to pull off such a deal as they lack the necessary room in payroll, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
The Cubbies have a combined $42.375MM committed to pitchers Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly, and Ryan Dempster. They would have a hard time finding a taker for Alfonso Soriano as he is owed $18MM per year for the next five years. Same goes for Kosuke Fukudome, who is due to make $26.5MM over the next two seasons. Aramis Ramirez is a hefty contract that could be moved, but as Rosenthal and Morosi point out, he's probably too valuable for the Cubs to trade.
Derrek Lee will make $13MM in the final year of his contract and could be a match for the Braves, however Atlanta would likely need to find a taker for a big contract (i.e. Derek Lowe) first.
