What's the state of filmmaking now? What do I want to watch? Geez when I'm thinking about it, movies seem so pointless. Why do producers drum up support for mediocre movies? Do they have high hopes or something? Maybe their tastes are different from mine. Just seems like there are too many of these movies. I know, I know, this has already been said before. But, what movie should I pay ten dollars to see at the theatre? Tell me. Otherwise I'll not see it, or wait for it out on dvd. Am I being negative? Could be this. Just a little let down by movies that cost so much. Sometimes I watch one that's worth the money. My 11 yo watched Transformers and was absolutely mesmerized. Last movie he liked so much was a few years ago, "The Black Cauldron". I haven't seen either. Kids easier to please?
What contemporary movie would you recommend for a grown woman without means to see all of what's out there? If you had to recommend one only, at this time, what would it be? What's playing in other parts of the world that's not showing in my USA that looks good? Sometimes I'm disappointed by the lack of accesibility of foreign films here in US. Of course I can find some of them. But most foreign films are inconveniently located, online or whatnot. What a drag. I will have to add though that by the time I do find a foreign film here at the local video store it's usually a very good one
. Do you think marketing of these films goes throung some sort of filter system?Thanks :guitarist Erin
