Ever notice how si-fi and fantasy films now dominate the box office?

Forty years ago you might have one or two on a weekend double feature, with dramas and comedies the rest of the week.

Now, on our local six plex theater, most of the shows are always si-fi fantasies, children shows, comedies. Good dramas come through maybe twice in a month.

That is because more and more people are joining with me in telling Hollywood, "Either give us good writing or guns, spaceships and explosions if you want us to watch."

I think I saw two that I will see in theater and two more that I might watch on DVD.

Not bad.

And not an original idea in the bunch.

Edge of Tomorrow sounds interesting but not in their top 10.
