Film Viewers Opinion Paper
      How do I decide which films to watch?   When making that decision it is not as easy as picking up a book and saying I will watch this film.   I have to take in to consideration time, the type of movie and my mood.   Time is the most precious commodity that I have and to be able to give 2 to 4 hours watching a movie.   Then there are many film genres to choose from but, I usually like Action/Adventure, Drama, or some Comedy.   My mood determines on what type of film I watch.   I look inside myself to see what I like, and then I decide what catches my imagination.   Movies are like books of life, if it does not make sense or seem reasonable then are it is not worth watching.
      A good film to me has personality, it keeps you holding on.   You want to know what is going to happen next.   The actors and actress in the film are people we feel can relate to or deal with everyday people.   Good films make people jump in their seat.   It is a film you would look at again and again.   A good film in my opinion would be “To Sir with Love”.   It makes you think about What if …..Films are like life they began and then they End.   A film that is not enjoyable to me is one that is very predicable, that you know what is going happen before it happens.   A film with no story line or able to capture my attention in the first 15 minutes of the film is not an enjoyable film.   A good example for me would be some of the Screwball Comedy like “Jack Ass” That is not an enjoyable film in my opinion.
      Given about 2 or 4 hours to sit back, hope the mood is right, pick out a good quality movie to watch, I do not think I have to worry about seeing any bad films; I’ll treat it like the sun.   If I can not see it in the sun, it is not there.
