Agreed on Titanic and Private Ryan too. Just the usual big budgets stuff. Sort of like a big merger of companies (really often a merger of CEO egos rather than sound business strategy - I refer only to a few very large ones which have since been or will soon be dissolved - the brokers (read, investment bankers) will make money at the dissolution and at the merger. Not that I have a problem with that of course. I just make sure that I am in the money one way or another.

I think too often the public falls for hype but hey, ultimately they are there to be entertained and if they feel entertained, I guess they have received what they paid for just like the story that is sold to Wall Street by the company or is it the other way around sometimes. Satisfaction is in perception and perception is subjective and deceptive too. Does it really matter if we lived in or are living in "the Matrix" to borrow from another recent movie (BTW, I liked "Matrix" even though you and many others did not, maybe because I am a sucker for sci-fi and because I am starved of good sci-fi, I will settle for anything I guess).

Saw the Ronin yesterday as per your recommendation. It gave my surround speakers a better workout than even Matrix. Whew. I loved the car chases too.

Another flop which I rented twice was Ishtar, just because i love seeing different countries etc. Still it was goofy - the cover on the VHS makes me want to take it home.

Wish they invested in movies about Africa etc. But then I would not be alone when I went to these countries.
