How to watch more movies
It made me
content
 "I love sifting through different movie genres. It's like opening a box of candy trying on different flavors. You never know until you try."
How I did it: I made it a goal to watch at least one movie per week, so Fridays are usually my movie nights. I lost count with how many movies I've watched for the past 2 years, but it was a whole lot. I watched the Pink Panther series to the Pirates of the Caribbean to Amelie to Batman. Even now, I'm still catching up with movies from long ago since growing up, I didn't have the luxury of renting movies at Blockbuster. I'm not too picky about movies. I could watch almost anything just as long as it has some well-written plot. Lessons & tips: One thing I do recommend though is to rest your eyes for a bit.
Resources: Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, IMDB (definitely can't live without it), friends, and people at my work were great in helping me decide what movies I should watch or look out for. Of course, it largely depends on what movie genre I'm in the mood for as well.

Watched “Changeling” today, starring Angelina Jolie – she’s done a good role and the film is long but it held my attention very well. I was impressed with the way the movie was structured and it can be described as emotionally compelling.

Watched “Shrink” the other night. This movie was pretty good. I give it a thumb up for instilling an atmosphere of doom. But at times the gloom was overwhelming. The plot was interesting in how each character’s life was intertwined with other characters in the movie. Essentially this movie was about how we handle grief. From that angle, the movie did an excellent job of portraying the emotion of grief, even provoking it in the viewer. I watched with feelings of hopelessness arising, matched by the characters deep grief on the screen.
However, no one wants to feel those feelings intentionally. So the movie is rather unsettling because of this. The story does conclude on a positive note. But not that fake Hollywood story ending of “everything is great and wonderful” note. More so that the characters experience a catharsis which makes all of their suffering more bearable in the end.
