Where have all the good movies gone?

I love movies. they are fun and escapism is the word. But the movies i have watched lately have all been crap. what is with that?

For example, Wanted. It deserves a giant -15/10. It was that bad. not even that sweet scene where Jolie flips that red car around with the door open and picks the guy up can redeem the movie. There is basically no plot and a lot of people who get shot in the head. Also, the idea of weavers discovering binary on a loom over a thousand years ago and figuring that Fate WANTS them to kill people-it seems more than just a bit over the top. I really just want to know who would examine the weave of cloth that closely in the first place? and then do it repetitively. It makes no sense. Also, the movie was filled with random characters and crap dialogue.

Next up- Appaloosa. I like a good western. They always move slow and the plot takes a while to develop but it works for me. I did think that Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson did a decent job playing rough, tough lawmen, but Renee Zellweger should just stop. There is just something about her voice- like nails on a chalkboard to me. She also earned my enmity by playing a terribly flawed character in the movie and Ed Harris just keeps coming back to her and basically that side plot takes over the main plot. Redeeming feature: Frustrating to watch but not your usual super cheesy western. I'd give it a 6.5/10

I have a few more to watch still, hopefully they restore my faith in the movies on 2008.
