    Year of Lead

    If 1939 was the Golden Year of Movies then I'm declaring 2010 as the year of Lead. Just my opinion.

    I couldn't agree more, Bob. More stinkers than I can remember.

      Oh come on now. It's still just mid-year. With great efforts like:

      Bitch Slap
      The Tooth Fairy
      Clash Of The Titans
      Jonah Hex


      how can you say that Bob? :B

      I'll throw Machete on that pile even though the only thing I have to go on is the trailer. I think I'm safe though.

        Even though there have been a bunch of stinkers this year, there were some that I felt pretty good about:

        Green Zone
        Iron Man II

          I'll have to agree, so far not very many good products. My own opinion, I didn't much care for Iron Man II or Green Zone, (see my reviews on those if interested) and thought that Avatar had problems, so I can't think of ANYTHING this year that has really grabbed me yet.

          Oh, maybe Toy Story 3. Thought that was pretty good.

            I liked Green Zone and I have high hopes for Robin Hood, which should be released soon on Blu-ray.

                Maybe I should make a movie real quick. Could be my best and only shot in my life to win an Oscar.

                    Hey Chris, what did you have in mind? Mindless comedy? SciFi? Mocumentary? Docu-drama? Exploitation film? Combination of all of them?

                      How about a genre something along the lines of "let's-make-a-movie-that-grosses-10,000%-of-cost-and-generates-merchandising-rights"?



                      In all seriousness, I'd love to make a movie someday, but I don't have anything particular in mind.

                      Okay, maybe if it stars Monica Belluci, Christina Hendricks, Julianne Moore, and Jennifer Connelly. That's be a great start. Throw in Sean Connery and Sam Elliot just because those guys are awesome and I'd love to meet them.

                        Chris,
                        I made a movie in Thailand, well more of a documentary, if you want I can email it to you. After 40 plus years of filmaking it is the only one I ever made. Costs under $5000 to make.
