Stop... movie-time

Let me just briefly say that this has been a saaaaaad year for movies. Sad. I just checked out the top movies of the year according to sales and let me give you the rundow.

1. Star Wars Episode 3... not so stellar but it's Star Wars so I can understand that.

2. War of the Worlds - again, not so stellar in my opinion. Nothing really happened other than Tom Cruise running. He didn't do anything other than not get probed and we aren't really sure of that either.

3. Wedding Crashers - WHAT?!?!? How the fork did this become the third top grossing movie of the year?

4. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - It was decent. Not great. Not bad.

5. Batman Begins - This was one of the best movies of the year in my opinion but that's just me. Even if you aren't a Batman fan see this movie.

OK. Now the list starts getting questionable.

6. Madagascar
7. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
8. Hitch
9. The Longest Yard
10. Fantastic Four
11. Robots
12. The Pacifier... the freaking Pacifier is 12th on the list?!?!?! Not good.
16. The Dukes of Hazard... sad.

What has happened to all the good movies? I mean, I'm not even talking about "good" as in the Golden Globes or Oscars. I'm just talking about entertaining. I know the "good" movies are starting to come out in November but still. This is sad. There have been SEVERAL times this summer when we wanted to see a movie and couldn't come up with we actually wanted to pay to see and that does not happen often either.

Ok, you can return to your regularly scheduled activities... or post a comment on the blog.
