At least cite examples that lead you to that response, because quite frankly there are some beautifully done movies involving politics, and intellectual content. some amazing political type movies in no particuluar order would be All the kings men (1942) Judgement at Nuremberg (1961) schindlers list (1993) Citizen Kane (1941) All the presidents men (1976) Malcom X (1992) | ||

This post says a lot more about the kind of movies you watch and the kind of person you are, than about movies in general. | ||

It's just that not everyone like them intellectual and stuff. Case in point - Transformers 2. Brain stimulation = 0%, yet one of the highest grosses this season. | ||

Still looking good, but the trailer somewhat feels like it could be your typical Michael Bay action flick. But the fact that Peter Jackson is involved helps me keep my expectations high. | ||
