estepheiasucks! I don't understand why the movie industry produces so much crap. Shouldn't these peole know what they're doing? They spend oodles of money on lackluster scripts that mostly focus on linking disjointed special effects sequences with long drops, enormous explosions, collapsing buildings/caves/mountanins and what not. Why don't they spend money on a script that tells a story that doesn't need the special effects?
*grrrr*
Sorcerers Apprentice looks like fun - but also too expensive.
Iron Man 2 got sucky reviews. Let's-make-the-sequel-even-bigger is not a philosophy that leads to good movies!
Sherlock Holmes was great fun - because the acting was fun. Excellent popcorn movie. Must. Get. on. Bluray. :-)
But mostly I feel that the bigger the budget, the greater the disappointment.
Are there any movies out there that I shouldn't miss?

Alas, Percy Jackson didn't. And Blind Side was okay, not bad, but nothing that made me yearn for the Bluray. We will definitely buy How to Train your dragon. The kids already hinted very broadly.
My eldest has a good taste in movies. My little one is a little less discriminate. When both agree on a movie, we usually buy them when they come out. If only the little one is keen on it, she has to wait until I can pick it up cheap or second hand... :-)
We used to go to the movies at least 20-25 times a year. Now we manage about 10-15 movies - and most of them we find disappointing. I hope the Robin Hood is watchable....
