Phones and soundtracks and Muzak and fountains replace genuine and unpredictable human contact with a seamless soundtrack from a bad movie and a cliche that makes us believe we must all be happy.

I don't mind if the couple next to me is tense or the kids are whiny. I'd even be happy to hear an honest argument, evidence of thinking. I'd like to know these teeth-perfect families don't just buy each other stuff but just occasionally can talk to one another.

A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes.

No matter how bad things are, you can at least be happy that you woke up this morning.

As a first movie, 'The Hobbit' is not a bad place to start.

Belly was not a bad movie. It was visually very interesting.
