my problem with most movies coming out in the USA, with very few exceptions, is that they are all moving towards the rap/gangsta mentality. Movies like Man on Fire amung several others seem to glorify senseless killing and are hardly fun to watch. There have been some high profile movies like LOTR and spiderman which are excellent but i feel that they are coming fewer and farther between.

Your view on what is entertainment probably differs from everyone elses. A movie doesn't need a story to be enjoyable, sure it helps, but its not completely necessary for entertainment. A good movie either needs to be Good Action to keep me entertained or an Excellent Story to keep me interested, i prefer the latter, but an action film is a good way to waste some time, and i personally enjoyed man on fire, despite the violence being pointless. I personally don't enjoy that many foreign films, and don't expect anything great out of movies, and i don't need to, just a good way to pass the time. If you don't have any good expectations you can never be disappointed.

Like one of my favorites of all movies is Face/Off, a movie with LOTS of action and no real plot, but i still find it superbly entertaining because of the Action Sequences. And while movies like the Manchurian Candidate have hardly any action at all, the plot kept me interested until the very end of the movie. Just depends on the situation, not on all american movies in general.

I for one am sick of all the stupid superhero movies. Movies released recently that I enjoyed were Dawn Of The Dead, Secret Window, Pirates Of The Carribean, and Shaun Of The Dead(Which wasn't American-made, if I remember correctly).

Shaun of the Dead was made in the UK. and i don't mind a few superhero movies. I don't mind spider-man or X-men movies. The rest that i saw weren't really that entertaining to me, and i'm really pissed they are making a new superman/batman movie. Both of them are gonna be stupid.

I like the evil dead series just can't stopwwatching ash be beat by his own hand,also i just saw warriors of heaven and earth,this movie rocked especially loved watching the making of it,also saw return of the master swordsman.Watched saw and couldn't believe they had me fooled into thinking who the weirdo really was,entertaining finding out who the real bad guy was in the end.

Good ol' Evil dead, so cheesy but so awesome. Easily one of my favorite series of all time, have all 3 on DVD.

I really prefer alot of "Paranoid Thriller" movies. They are slow and progressively get more tense as the movie goes on and eventually coming to maybe one action or suspenseful scene that finishes everything and leave ag reat feeling of closure. My 2 favorites as of now are "The Manchurian Candidate" and "Arlington Road". Both excellent movies i think.

And Spider-man wasn't supposed to be anything BUT special effects. Not like they can swing Toby McGuire 300 feet in the air in the middle of New York. And They already had the script written out for them and everyone knew it, they didn't go to see it for the enticing story, but for the fun action sequences, as i said before.
