In fact I think over all 2011 was a bit of a bust for movies and yes I realize there are many who will disagree with me but I think that statement is backed by the poor box office showings in 2011.

The year wasn't that poor, still 10+ billion in box office sales, less down ~3.8. Not bad considering the economy in the US.

I liked Horrible bosses, Cap, and Harry potter.

Sorry, that doesn't compute.

Going to the library and renting a movie, in this example, the Dark Knight has little to no educational value. When we move on to movies like 'Grown Ups', what's there for someone to learn there?

Books, regardless of their genre have a benefit to us when reading. "Watching" isn't a skill that needs to be worked on.

What if they're learning about film?

Perfect. I want to learn about the porn industry, most importantly, I need to perfect my finishing move. Library, here I come!

A worthy venture to be sure!
