lol, this stuff is so true. It seems like the newer the movies get, the worst the quality. I especially hate the "jerky camera" fad where you can't even see what the heck is going on in movies.

I can't even watch stuff filmed like that--it makes me queasy.

Ditto on the documentary style stuff. I'm getting sick of shakey cam actions scenes that filmmakers throw in for some moronic attempt at "realisim". That's why I prefer action movies from the 80s and 90s. A lot of them may not be as well written as say, The Green Zone, but I prefer those movies because, unlike in that friggin movie, you can actually SEE what's going on in action scenes.

Shakey-cam, as far as I'm concern, is the cancer that's killing action cinema. I hope that it soon goes the way that bullet-time did in the early 2000's where people just learn to drop that kind of crap.
