Hollywood does still make a few good films each year..."Drive" & "We Need to Talk About Kevin" were IMO pretty decent; however when I think of my favorite films over the past several years the majority are "foreign"...
I Saw The Devil Sin Nombre The Secret In Their Eyes The Man From Nowhere ...and these are not shown in a majority of theaters. That's the biggest reason why over the past few months I've been revisiting films from the past... Le Trou Charley Varrick Failsafe Le Deuxieme Souffle League Of Gentlemen No Highway In The Sky Captain Blood A Raisin In The Sun Downfall ...great "old" films. ________________________________ From: Bruce Hershenson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 9:31:21 AM Subject: [MOPO] OT: Movie crowds dip to 16-year low as apathy lingers http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/53195051-79/billion-million-movie-2011.html.csp My thinking is that most current movies aren't very good, and that they are too expensive, too much trouble to go to, and there are a million good alternatives that are far cheaper and just as entertaining. Many current releases look like they started with a cutesy title and built a completely unnecessary movie around it ("Chipwrecked", etc).
