This past year was probably the most unprecedented year in movie making history as far as huge blockbusters go. From the original screenplay of "Inglorious Basterds" to the screen adapted book "Up in the Air", to the amazing special effects in "Avatar", this year in movies was truly amazing.
For me, movie going is the same as seeing a concert, I go to see art. Of course I will go see the ones purely for entertainment, but I save my reflections on movies for the good ones. For instance, "Inglorious Basterds" was probably one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. Not just because it is extremely entertaining, but because the skill of the director/writer and actors is unbelievable. Tarantino is truly an artist in film.
"Avatar", though not necesarrily as well written or acted, was also one of my favorite movies. The 3D experience that James Cameron put before his audience placed me in another world, and i was transported in a very Peter Brook- esque "theatre of cruelty" way.
For me movies can be purely for entertainment, but Hollywood has proven this year that it still holds onto the art form of movie making, and that is hard to come by in a world of such commercialism in the theaters.
