I would prefer an older Clint Eastwood film or an ambiguous Scorsese film as opposed to a modern “shoot ‘em up” action film. Would it be absolutely asinine to assume that most movies in 2010 are being produced purely on shock effect or tantalizingly appealing content? So I pose a question to you. Do you feel technology is creating less interesting movies or has technology gotten us out of the “BOOM” and “POW” era? Personally, I feel movies rely too much on shock effect and special effects than an ambiguous storyline. Hopefully Ironman 2 has a nice mixture of both an ambiguous plot and an action packed “shoot ‘em up” thriller. But; that’s the best part of going to the movies; everyone has their own opinion.

She’s out of my league
3.0/5
Good news everyone! There’s a romantic comedy out there that isn’t horrible! After wading through all the awful, formulaic rom coms that have flooded Hollywood in recent years, it is very refreshing to see one that knows how to be funny.

You heard me. Think that I’m positively bonkers? I’ll explain.
What does Tim Burton + Johnny Depp + popular intellectual properties equal? The highest grossing opening weekend in march, beating out 300. It also means that it doesn’t really matter how good your movie is, people are going to see it. And this movie? Way overhyped.
