1999 in film: 5th Anniversary

1999 was an end for a lot of things.
It was the end of Microsoft and the end of the .com bubble.
It was the end of AOL and dial up modems.
It was the end of the critically acclaimed LucaArts. Some credit for the fall of the Cold War.
It was the end of the great American movie and in with blockbusters:
Film became about films that are supposedly Star Wars-like, but really a lot more hollow than how even that film was presented.
Now in 2010, we have a lot of films and television shows that resemble Lynch films how their actors
Many of the top films of this year have yet to be topped, not even close, as 30 films from the last 15 years have been really good, and maybe 5 were on par with films such as the Matrix.
X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Kick-Ass and Marvel have led to the superhero boom, which was critically praised thanks to the cheap website costs of the late 2000s, I call the WordPress/Adsense Effect.
