Thought...

Saw a weirdly interesting movie called 'Lake House' the other day. Initial impression based totally on the actors. Expected Keanu Reeves' blank, open-mouthed "I'm the One??" expression and Sandra Bullocks' "I'm the Southern city girl!!!" dialogue delivery. And also the standard Hollywood movie problems, trying to cater to the largest possible audience, screen time for the main actors, unneccessary plot twists, the sappiness of a romantic movie blah blah blah
But that is not why i'm writing this.
The movie was good. Yes. After a phase of 2 years where i saw everything from 'Along Came Polly' to 'Spiderman', i can say FINALLY i saw a decent English movie in a theatre which actually challenges me to think. Parallel universes that collapse and deform and separate and meet, all because of the need to be with someone. The weirdest part was something that someone does in the future changes the past. Now that was so un Hollywoodie. Actually quite a little Hollywoodie. These thought provoking movies seem to come from there quite often. i mean, The Matrix changed the way i think (KRVIA also did, but sorry, the Matrix came first)
So why do we get subjected to crap like 'The Hulk'? Or is it us unfortunate Third World Demographic that gets subjected to trite?
