Meh, I think they topped out a long time ago with great film making. Nothing made recently has been that great.
Yeah, nothing much anymore really moves you. The last movie I saw in the theater that I thought was really good, really had an impact on me was The Manchurian Candidate, which I guess doesn't really count, since it was a remake. But the original was awesome, too. The remake kind of freaked me out more than anything, just a little too close to something that could actually happen. :D

Bingo.
Nothing is original anymore. How can we repackage the same movie to make the cash money?
I think Collateral was a the last "good" movie I've seen lately. I saw it and Manchurian Candidate pretty close together and I thought Collateral won hands down. There was enough gay cowboy sex in it though...
I thought Munich was allright, I wasn't blown away by it.
I'm not a huge fan of Spielberg, and even less of a fan of Tony "Angels in America" Kushner, so the story didn't do a lot for me.
I'm a history major/buff, so the fact that the movie was based on a discredited book from someone who claimed to be an ex-Mossad agent, who was later revealed as a fraud didn't score points with me either. The film went overboard into the moral equivalancy swamp for me, and Spielbergs framing of the final scene with the WTC towers was in very poor taste.
