I've always been a movie lover. My brother is fourteen years older than I and one of my earliest memories is of going to see "2001" with him. I remember being really little. In my memory we sat in the front row, but it may have been just really close, because I remember the screen was HUGE. I've seen it many times since, of course, but I have a very distinct memory through little eyes of the scene with the girl slowly walking and walking around that circle and Strauss playing in the background. I also remember him taking me to see "An American in Paris". I was a little older, I think, and I've loved Gene Kelly ever since.
Anyway, I'm a movie lover, but not a movie snob. Let's face it, there are all sorts of armchair critics out there who have lots of opinions they feel they need to share. Me, I just want to be entertained. I can usually turn off my brain and enjoy most anything. There have been a couple near walk-outs, but I usually stick it out. However, I am always most pleasantly surprised when I do have to use my brain, just don't make me think too much.
I've been mostly disappointed in movies lately. There really hasn't been much that looked interesting or entertaining enough to see. Too much raunchiness or they seem to be taking themselves way to seriously. Sometimes you just need silliness.
The other night "School of Rock" was on and I stopped for a couple of minutes to get some laughs. Great movie for just enjoying being silly. In the scene I saw Jack Black declares, "I serve the community by rocking!" Love it.
