Their 5Cs are cash, car, credit card, condominium and country club.Now, Malaysia also has the 5Cs. Of course, it is not to measure success. It is to measure something else.

Ice Age 3 was my first ever 3D movie but it is a full animated movie. I consider Avatar 50% animated. I think watching movies in 3D is tiring. At least that's what I felt, more so for non-animated films. I felt the pain at my head, specifically at the zone between my eyes and ears.I did not watch Titanic so I don't know what to expect from James Cameron.
