RE: Happy Birthday HAL !
Hello!

Yes and no. The problem is time. My day only has 24 hours. I do not need a lot of sleep, often 4 to 5 hours are enough. But I have to work very long hours (today I left the house before 7 in the morning and came home again at half past 8 in the evening) on many days. That does not leave much time to watch movies.

And there are too many movies being made now, and even more already made which I did not see yet, to watch during the remaining free hours in my remaining lifetime. I am over 50 as well. So I must carefully choose which movies to watch. What do I base this choice on? Reviews and ratings by average internet users? Certainly not. Reviews in newspapers? Sometimes. Recomendation by friends and familiy members? Certainly. But there are very few recommendations of that kind. So that leaves only professional critics. They too make mistakes sometimes (critics did not "Blade Runner" when it came out in 1982 and they did not initially like "Verigo" either which by some - me included - is now considered the best film ever made) but overall their opinion and my opinion are in good agreement.

Max
