I recently saw Tower Heist in the theatre and was surprised at how entertaining it was. It was funny, but it was almost like an "Ocean's 6".
The purpose of this post is to get you thinking about the originality/uniqueness of movies today.
Whenever I go to the movies I can't help thinking that many of the "new" movies are so unoriginal and boring. The movie previews today practically only show vampires and werewolves and maybe some photoshopped guys shooting at one another in a car chasing scene.
I may upset someone by saying Avatar was unoriginal, but I'll take my chances. It was Pocahontas with blue Indians and the special effects were...well...special, and yes, the effects were a first of there kind. But, it wasn't a unique story line ( Letters to Juliet and Nights in Rodanthe are much worse though). And now EVERYTHING (almost) is in 3D. I could go on and on, but I don't have the time for it.
What do YOU think? You must have an opinion.

It's a baby blog!
This is my first post - very exciting- and I would like to start off with a quick message about why I started a blog.
I want to be a writer, and like so many, this shall be my platform. I've done freelance work for websites, worked for my school newspaper and have written some short stories. But, it's not "real" writing - and I don't expect to write a novel on here either. This blog, I expect, will be pretty average. I will post stuff I like, stuff I think is interesting and would appreciate if you, whomever you are who is reading this, would leave comments about what I post or just whatever you want to say. There are only two rules I would like you to follow when commenting:
1) It must be nice, specifically nothing mean
2) No criticisms please, don't crush my dreams...or potential as a writer
Just kidding, tell me what is good, bad and just plain ugly!
Thanks!
Let's start a conversation/debate (whatever it turns into):
What do you think about the occupy Wall Street protester's: annoying or righteous? I'll tell you what I think after you give me your unbiased, honest opinion!
