the more and the more movies you watch the more and more predictable the movies seems to become

You have a point there with the predictability of all movies. I also hate most horror movies where you know the main character will die right at the end. Every single time!! hate those movies. I can't even be bothered going to movies anymore. I make sure I read the summary and just rent movies online at bigpond.

i stick to documentary’s these days or certain independent movies , some of these still provide a new and refresh look at how movies can be viewed

I like your article because i usually think the same about most movies… but I know that there are also movies that are worth watching. I usually don’t watch movies that are very popular because they usually are made only for the public, no art, no imagination, just movies that will attract audience…:( Some months ago I tried to create a place to share only good movies, i thought that if people will add they’re favorite movies in the database of my website i could help people to find other good movies by searching for users that have same tastes.. users that vote for the same movies that you do… and i hope i will succeed with this project because i want to have a place where i can find some good movies that are worth watching:) …… fav-mov(dot)com

Thanks for the comment, Newlife25. So for you, if I understand your comment correctly, any movie should contain something new?

Is there any specific category of movies that you prefer?

it is so true, if there is nothing new then i don’t like movie. I always watch movies what offers me something new. Not typical effect. Good post.

swollenpickles, thanks for the comment. “I Am Legend” does look very promising because of the teaser trailer. I hope it turns out to be good too.

I saw DOA, and it is very, very typical on many levels. Maybe I should review it soon. :) Did you like it?

In my view, DOA can fall into points 1, 2, 4 and 5 above. I do not remember its trailer, so I am not sure how it fits into # 3 above. Have you seen its trailer?

I had not heard of I Am Legend until I read this, after watching the trailer, I sticking that on my must see list!

I just finished watching DOA (Dead or Alive), but I’m not sure exactly where that fits on your list!

Jess, this is wonderful! :) I sent you a message about this comment too. The Descent was an amazing movie! Yes, those things were scary. The notion that they were evolved humans is probably something we can not easily figure out, though the movie does hint they have been around for centuries. :D Yes, that is what the live-preview is for. Non-fiction movie, yes, usually it's a drama related to typical things like gender stereotypes or someone falling in love. Black action movie, well, XXX went from being normal in XXX to being more rap-style "I'm a gangsta type", and same is the case with many "White action movies." Maybe we need to eliminate any kind of color all together by mixing everyone all the time? Typical action movie, yes, so typical! Being good or some determination always enables you to win. The Departed was not typical because Caprio died, but was typical because Matt died too because he was evil. Bad love movies, yes, and the guy always gets the girl, whether he is rich, poor, ugly, good looking, etc. The girl is also always good looking! Why can we not have something realistic where the guy and girl do not end up together, but are still happy? For example, Forces of Nature had a little bit untypical twist, with Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck not ending up together, even though, like a typical movie, the other character Maura ends up with Ben. Fantasy, so many movies use graphics so weirdly, even normal things like car crashes or tables falling from one floor to another are being computerized. If it looks bad and costs more, why do it? Can you think of some Fantasy movies which have bad graphics or typical things? The departed was indeed long. I have seen the original Hong Kong "Infernal Affairs", which is what The Departed is based on, and it was much simpler and easier to grasp. I am guessing Martin, the director, wanted to copy and make it a bit more complicated for the American audience. Yes, it got complicated. You should see the original Hong Kong version, if possible, as it is very beautiful and sad [what a way to use those 2 key words together]! Doug, thanks for coming and for commenting. I really appreciate it. I have not yet read George R.R. Martin's series, so I am going to check them soon, thank you for recommending those. From what you describe, the series does sound interesting. I just read its Wikipedia entry and was wondering: is the series aimed at children or at no specific age group? Thanks again. :)
