My standard for whether a movie I watch is a good one or not:
I think or talk about it the next day.
This attitude separates the wheat from the chaff as far as I'm
concerned. I may feel that the movie is horribly bad, but if it moves
me to think or talk about it the next day, then there's something to be
said for it. My system does successfully eliminate the mind numbing
boring films, and the so-called "action" films which are just one
explosion, chase or crash after another.
I suppose I'd rather see a novelty act and turn up my nose as to listen
to a catatonic, moribund snore-fest.
