Unfortunately, movie reviews say that this summer's movies were a disappointment. There was lots of money made ($4.35 billion) but few tickets sold - less than in the past ten years. Increases in ticket prices, particularly because 3D movies hiked up ticket prices, made up for the bigger bottom line. However, there weren't a lot of people who went out to the movies.
That's because there weren't a lot of good new movies this summer. There were a few good new movie releases: Toy Story 3 and Inception were successful. In general, every new movie release was so uninspiring that not many people bothered to go out to the movies.
Things are looking a lot more inspiring in this second part of the year. In this new season of fall and winter movies there should be something for everyone. There are action movies, family movies, Oscar worthy dramas, and some spicy comedies coming up in the next third of the year.
Here are ten titles, presented in order of release that will make the holidays a little more fun:
10. The Fighter

... and his half brother Dicky, a boxer/trainer who is coming back after nearly being killed by drugs.
