A good movie is hard to come by anymore. I feel like every time I watch a movie, I've seen it before and their always predictable. Every movie these days has a picture perfect ending, which is always a feel good touch, but I'm fucking tired of the same shit. Jokes over, life is not perfect in any way, in fact life really sucks. I don't want to see the same couple meets, they run into a stupid problem, then they get back together in the end and kiss. If that's what the ending of your movie is going to be, then at least show them fucking. I'm personally bored of the same dramatic kissing scene, with some beautiful scene in the background.
Another thing that irks me is that every movie feels the need to have a love story tied into it. I love a good romantic comedy or drama but sometimes a love story is completely unnecessary. Take Black Hawk Down, for example, it was a decent movie but was ruined by the love story tied into it. One of my favorite movies is the classic One Flew Over the Coo Coos Nest, which has no love story tied in at all. It sticks to the main theme of how crazy people are and it doesn't throw in some cute couple who nobody really gives two shits about.
In contrast you can have a great movie, with a love story, but just have the love story a small part. A great example of this is Good Will Hunting, one of my absolute favorites. The movie is about the main character, Will, being guided by a mentor into using his unique gift of knowledge for good. Their is a love story tied in this movie, but it isn't focused on too much and it is used to show Will's fear of accepting things.
The fact that I'm tired of the same old typical movies has lead me to watching mostly Independent Films. This has gone well for me because most of these films have different and interesting ideas, which stray away from typical cliches.
