Where Have All the Good Movies Gone
Not that I have any time to see them, but why are there no good movies out this year?
Sure sure, people enjoyed the last Star Wars, and some liked Batman. I enjoyed the Penguin movie (the Natl Geo one, not Madagascar). But, there doesnt seem to be the kind of movies out this year that make you go, “I really need to see that.”
Is part of the problem the dearth of movies that rely on script instead of action and nudity? Right now at my favourite theater:
5 R Movies
7 PG-13 Movies
2 PG Movies
1 G
Now, there are good, well acted, well dialogued movies in all categories, but these days it seems that the PG13 movies just use “big boobs” and “big booms” to try and bring in audiences. Heck, I’d take good cinemetography at this point.
Anyways, just a rant today. I wonder if people in every generation ask, “Why dont they make good _____ anymore?"b
