I'm tired of seeing crappy remakes (Psycho, Planet of the Apes, American Godzilla), back-shelf comic-book characters (Daredevil, The Punisher, Elektra), third-rate live-action cartoons (Josie and the Pussycats, Rocky and Bullwinkle), thinly-disguised political screeds (Cider House Rules, The Day After Tomorrow), mildly amusing Saturday Night Live skits blown up into two-hour crapfests (Stuart Smalley, The Ladies Man), and mentally-challenged films designed to amuse the Jackass generation (Dude, Where's My Car?, anything Adam Sandler is in). Will Hollywood ever produce anything original ever again, or will they just keep looting the corpses of the past?

These are the movies I have seen - at the theater - in recent years -

Madagascar - pretty funny, especially the penquins. Took my grandsons. The other day, while playing cards with one of them, Sheppard Smith had a story about a penquin and then the penquin tried to walk away, but was caught. I turned to my grandson and said "We've been ratted out, boy!" He caught the joke.

Batman Begins - great movie. Got the character right.

Fantastic Four - okay but I wish it was better.

Passion of The Christ - awesome.

The Incredibles - possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen. The message was - to say the least - incredible!

We Were Soldiers - great movie.

The Patriot - good movie.

Black Hawk Down - great movie.

The Hulk - I liked it but it could have been better.

Spiderman II - good movie.

X-Men II - good movie.

That is just about it. I use to go to the movies one-two times a week. Not anymore.
