WOOHOO! It’s Global Movie Day…

I’m a movie person! That’s probably why I took up screenwriting as a hobby. While I partake in several types of writing, screenwriting is my favorite. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of this is I usually know what’s going to happen in a movie within the first 15 minutes. It’s the rare occasion that I am surprised. Does it bother me? No. I’m still going to watch movies, and share praises for those who do surprise me.

And since it’s “Global” Movie Day, I would encourage to watch some foreign films, as well. It’s easy to watch the English-speaking ones, but I challenge you to watch a non-English speaking movie (yes, this involves reading all of the subtitles) as I’ve found some movies that I really enjoyed through making this effort.

So, take some time this weekend (if you can fit it in around your Superbowl activities) to watch your favorite movie, or something new that appeals to you. Perhaps you have a favorite football movie…

It’s okay to indulge in a guilty pleasure once in a while. Let’s all go to the movies (and the lobby!)
