don't get me wrong; i like many genres of film, but on the whole, most of the blockbuster movies bore me to tears. way too formulaic.
when i want to enjoy a movie, i will normally go to older movies. directors like billy wilder, hitchcock, sam peckinpah, orson welles, sam fuller, hal ashby are what i like the most. i even like to throw in some foreign stuff, powell and pressburger, truffaut, and some kurosawa when i'm feeling really adventurous.

No one is more critical of film here than I am and I've seen plenty of worthwhile, important film in the past couple of years, let alone the past five.
