Movies I've Watched This Semester

1. Stranger Than Fiction (Who knew Will Ferrell could do serious comedy??)
2. Close Encounters of The Third Kind (Barry come back!)
3. Bram Stoker's Dracula (I watched this for the third time. It's so bad it's good)
4. Wit (three/4 stars)
5. Groundhog Day (surprisingly funny)
6. Big Daddy (hilariousness) 
7. Identity (boringggggggg)
8. Donnie Brasco (I love mafia movies and this one was great!)
9. The Fisher King (Robin Williams was excellent as usual)
10. Adaptation (oh my god that was amazing)
11. Pineapple Express (HAHAHA for the fifth time)
12. Saving Silverman (best stupid movie ever, on par with The Hangover Part I and II and Pineapple Express)
13. Step Brothers (I can't believe I watched this...again)
14. The Three Faces of Eve (not as good as Sybil)
15. American Crude (absolutely horrible)
16. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (excellent)
17. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (eh)
18. Revolver (eh)
19. The Fan (I've never seen Robert De Niro creepier - beats Frankenstein and that's saying something)
20. Dead Ringers (kind of awesome)

Movies: more cliche than ever, Hollywood is just fresh out of ideas

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.
