No CGI please. Less muddled sound and fake colors for the scenery. Tell a story.

I have seen about half of last years “The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug” and cannot figure out the plot plus anytime I think of the title I think they are looking for smog...

The “Movie going experience” lost its panache and fun decades ago.

Why waste what would pay for a week’s groceries. When you can wait a few weeks and stream it in the comfort of your own home?

Or just watch the films trailer and patchwork the film in your head. Then decide to stay hone, anyway?

Here’s a novel idea, Hollywood.

Start making films that someone over 21 and not living in their mom’s basement would like to see!!!

It was a pathetic movie release cycle for the summer.... PIXAR film got delayed, so there was a huge hole in the summer family film offerings.

I like going to movies to people watch (really to check out the women) and to get out of the house.
