Robotic Movie Review

In a monotone robotic voice: "The new Indiana Jones movie is fantastic. It is the best yet. The action is amazing. Steven Spielberg has outdone himself. It is better than Cats. I want to see it over and over again." - Tony Dornacher, Robotic Movie Reviewer

The Formula

Blockbuster movies and books all seem to use the same formula.

  1. Love interest
  2. Action
  3. Some pseudo sex
  4. More action
  5. Then everyone lives happily ever after
All of the above are timed perfectly to a great music score and fantastic visual effects.

The books fly off the shelves and people flock to the theatres. I often get caught up in the flurry and when the storm clears I ponder its blockbuster status?

Do we need to escape the reality of our troubled world? Are we numb to the formula? Do computers, reality television or something else sap our brains, creating mindless zombies?

I am certain; once I find the right music score, the rest of my life will fall into place.
