Seen any good movies lately?
Imagine buying a new car and it wont start. Or it starts, but runs so slowly that you nearly fall asleep while driving it. Or youre driving along at a good clip when it suddenly veers off on its own down a road you didnt want to travel, then crashes and burns. If the auto industry was anything like the movie industry this would happen all the time. People have demonstrated a nearly insatiable need to be entertained, and Hollywood has proven it doesnt know how to consistently satisfy this need.
Why is it that scores of great actors and outstanding directors, using the latest technological advances in photography and computer-generated imagery, financed by bank accounts bigger than the GDP of many nations, cant seem to produce more than a mere handful of truly good movies each year? Thats the question Ken Close, one of Americas top research scientists and lifetime member of Mensa, attempts to answer in the award-winning documentary, "Crap Shoot - The Documentary."
