|
 |
I'm normally one of those guys who stereotype Hollywood with movies like American Pie or Scary Movie, but I got to be honest, this year was one of the best, if not the best year I can remember in Hollywood movie making, I hope that in the future Hollywood will look back into this year and remember what made it a different year in movie making.
The Dark Knight
Wall-E
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk
All of them absolutely cinematic masterpieces. (and this is the ones that I saw)

There are always aboutg 10 gems a year, nothing special. Or do you consider the movies you've named the best things to happen to Hollywood? I don't see your point.

They are most certainly among the best, there are obviously other movies spanned over the years that are equally or even better than the movies released this year, but it is my opinion that in this year there were release as many masterpieces as all those Hollywood released in the last 8 years combined.
Of course it may only be my personal opinion, but I think that even if you disagree on this year bot being one of the best in Hollywood history, you would agree that was a year that is above average, right?

No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood were pretty damn good last year. I think the 'blockbuster' titles like TDK and Wall-E were much better than usual. >90% of the stuff they release is crap, tho.

Yeah, I used to think that dubbed movies sucked - until I started to see all these american remakes of foreign movies. ffs, how hard is it to watch a movie with subtitles?
I swear - if they were to have a world tour with european art...once it came to america, they would have replaced everything with american copies instead! (Like an american version of Mona Lisa and shit like that).
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Maybe it's a stereotype and blatantly wrong, but Americans seem to have an aversion to foreign movies. That's why they 'convert' those movie to their own 'format', especially Asian movies have been 'improved' this way.

I really couldn't disagree more with regards to the thread title. A very bland year for me, a few good films, but we always get that.
WALL-E was a fucking masterpiece though, just has to be said again. Best film this year, IMO.

I'm divided between Wall-E and The Dark Knight.
But among those two I really doubt that the academy will give best movie for Wall-E since is animated and all, and some people may disagree with me, but TDK was also a cinematic masterpiece.

I'm hopeful that Wall-E will get a nod in terms of a nomination.
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!
