I forgot an important one!

66.74.72.231

Mates,

I forgot another annoying over-used genre that I've come to really dislike intensely.

Ghosts and Angels: I have to say I can not stand to see another movie- even a summary of it- in which ghosts and angels come around to help a live person. This has just become stupid and too common. Ghosts and Angels have better things to do than help out Little League teams and kids defeat bullies and realize their dreams of bullying others. This often becomes over-sentimental.

As always there are exceptions: "Here comes Mr. Jordan" and "Truly, Madly, Deeply" were interesting and well done, but today there's a damn ghost or angel around every corner.

Is this genre part of paranoia that yearns for easy, supernatural ways out of problems? It seems Hollywood has two methods to solve every problem- either violence or magic. Someday, reality must creep in, but reality must be too subtle for box office today.

Cheers,

Bambi B
