The year 2009 was an eclectic year for Hollywood. As expected, movie theaters were bombarded with the usual formulaic drivel we get every year, ranging from the dumb and clichéd teen comedies (Fired Up, I Love You Beth Cooper), the PG-13 "horrors" (The Uninvited, The Stepfather), the mindless mega-action flicks (GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, 2012), and the countless sequels (Harry Potter 6, Fast & Furious), not to mention the nauseating wave of 3-D flicks (The Final Destination, G-Force).
John Lennon is likely known as one of the most proficient singer and songwriter activists of his time. Lennon became a musical legend with the success of his band-The Beatles, which he formed with three other men. He was instantly immortalized as a cultural icon when he was fatally struck by an assassin's bullet in 1980.
How a movie performs at the box office depends mostly on expectations at first, and later by word of mouth. New Moon, the second movie in the Twilight series, had high expectations from teenage girls, and low ones from almost everyone else. I'm not interested in stereotypes and think that categorizing a movie as only for a certain demographic is counter to the idea of film as art and film in general.
