Riske Business: Blockbusters, Oscar Bait and Expectations

I’m at a bit of a divide when it comes to movies these days. I have come to the realization that I am no longer the target audience for the big blockbuster movies anymore. Ender’s Game, Thor: The Dark World and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire are made for 20-somethings, teens or younger. And the “Oscar bait” movies of the day often disappoint me as well. I’m not going to give up watching blockbusters or the movies jockeying for awards. That would be a dumb solution. I might dismiss something and end up missing the next pleasant surprise. So what should I do? I think it all has to do with expectations. And I need to adjust mine.
