AFTER I WATCH A MOVIE OR SOMETHING ON TV , I RUN TO MY COMPUTER AND WRITE DOWN THE STORY.... I DO NOT CRITIQUE THE CINEMA , ONLY TELL YOU ABOUT IT BECAUSE , TO EACH ITS OWN. I GUESS , IN ALL HONESTY , THE REASON I WATCH ANYTHING IS BECAUSE SOMEHOW , SOMETHING ABOUT IT HAS KEPT MY INTEREST IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER , LONG ENOUGH TO MENTION IT...AND REMEMBER....
