... to Keith Uhlich's description of the film as a "colorfully hollow biopic about America's beloved aviatrix." Should more chime in with Ebert's positivity, the film could get decent buzz, but as it stands while writing this on Thursday afternoon, out of 13 reviews, it's got a paltry 23% fresh rating. ...

... After much anticipation over what is said to be the best “Avatar” trailer yet, news comes today that the James Cameron epic will screen with the upcoming Mira Nair film “Amelia”. Now, while this is an odd choice to show the trailer with, it does show a surprising amount of faith to put into this film. “Amelia” is already getting mixed reviews, currently standing at 23% from Rotten Tomatoes with only 32 reviews in. ...
