When people see a movie at the cinema, I guess they have different criteria by which they judge whether they liked the movie or not, or whether it made some sort of impression on them.
For me, a 'good' movie keeps ticking away in my mind for days, revealing different aspects of itself. If I get back to the car, and I have to think....."now what did I just see??"...well, I've just pretty-well wasted a couple of hours.
'Juno' is still vibrating 5 days after seeing it...I laughed out loud at times but had a silent little weep too.
PS Last year I was decidedly 'shabby' about seeing a movie regularly.For 2008,I've made a bargain with myself to see one movie a month at least.Let's just see shall we?

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting about the way we have gone native in our backyards. I did it for the wildlife more than anything and then the older I get the less I am able to do considering the health problems we have. Anyway. about your movie, Juno. I am like you. I can't even begin to remember the movies I have sat through up until I stopped going to them. Here, they are expensive and television offers the same movies if you have enough patience to set and wait a year or so on them to arrive. I don't mind the wait. I no longer attend football games because I was about frozen stiff at the last one years ago when our youngest was still in school. Thankfully those school days are over or I would be stiff by now.
Movies are like books. I read a lot but it takes me forever as reading will now put me to sleep. So at most I can only read three or four pages at a time. But I do read and only one or two books are good enough for me to remember much about them.
Thanks again for stopping.
i LOVED THE MOVIE JUNOE, IT WAS SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND SAYINT HI
Just catching up CabaC. Glad that you are back on deck and blogging again.
I meet with my girlfriends for dinner and a movie once a month. They are schoolfriends so it's important to us that we keep up the contact - as a change from our daily lives. Some of the movies are good - some I could (and have) forgotten about already.
I just read 4 novels - a quartet - and enjoyed just the peace and quiet of reading in the heat of the day or the silence of the night - usually with a cat on my lap - they all seem to compete to see which one can get there first!
I know I'm really late here, but I finally saw Juno and loved it.
