So last night I watched Magnolia - thought it has three Academy Awards, Tom Cruise - should be a good movie.
I feel old - I just did not get it - and I really tried. But when did trash become award worthy. I looked for the finer, underlying threads of social commentary that would give this rubbish meaning. I could not find any. Although to be fair I stopped watching about a half hour before the end but I could not justify wasting another half an hour of my life.
What happened to good movie making? It feels like you either have to settle for all these movies about 'friends with benefits' if you want light hearted or provocative nonsense that gets awards just because it pushes boundaries. What happened to the good courtroom drama. Remember Primal Fear, A Few Good Men - I dont know I am just tired of the rubbish that is being put out as art.
Give me some ideas - what movies should I see?
