Movies

Movies are a great source of entertainment for all ages. Unfortunately movie sales are on a decline, in fact Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM Studios) have been on the verge of bankruptcy for almost a year now. They are 3.5 billion dollars in debt and all there movies are on hold until they can resolve the credit crisis. A friend of mine said to me that the reason the studios are having a problem in the first place is because they quality of movies have gone own in recent years. I don't think this is true because with today's technology movies are better than ever. Sure, story has been taking a back seat to visuals but that's what a lot of people want to sit in a theater and mindlessly watch explosions and attractive people doing attractive things. Recently Christopher Nolan has been hitting a sweet spot in movies with visually stunning, story heavy movies like The Dark Knight and Inception. Both of which dominated at the box office.
