Indie films are sky rocketing. With no small thanks to Jason Reitman, who directed the widly popular Juno, Up In The Air and Thank You For Smoking. If you dont know, Indie films are small budget movies usual being a Drama. Since other genres cost a lot more. So whats new for this genre? Well one that im extremly excited for is the thriller "Buried" which features Ryan Reynolds stuck in a coffin with only a lighter, a knife and a phone. The whole movie takes place in the coffin and is around 90 minutes long, since thats all the time he has to live before he suffocates. Even though this movie only has one scene, it still cost 2 million dollars. Which is very cheap for moives. Another strange thing, is that the movie was shot in only 17 days.
Another big genre, will be 3D movies. This will be the third time, 3D movies have tried to get big. A+I think this time, they will stay. This industry must thank movies like Avatar, Clash Of The Titans, Alice In Wonderland, and Toy Story 3. Which are leading the box office and fronting the new race for top 3D movie. 3D movies that should never have came into existence are Step Up 3D and Piranhas 3D. Now these had stunning visuals, but thats all they have to offer. Some could say the same for Clash Of The Titans. But i found Clash poorly made, but it at least entertained me for its duration and i didn't even see it in 3D.
Lastly, comic book movies are huge again. After the original Batmans, they kind of died out. But now they are bigger than ever. Some big leaders are the Christopher Nolan Batmans and the Spiderman series. But there has been some non series made. Most notibly, Sin City and Kickass. Most people ust assume superhero movies to be just fun, but thanks to most of these moives people now know that comic book movies can be taken seriously.
MORE TO COME
