Movie Notes: how it was started

I used to watch many movies before I entered college, two or three in a week, good ones and bad ones. I kept a small notebook with a full list of every movie I had watched. Every time after the movie, I carefully wrote down the title of the movie, followed by the director and casting crew, and ended with the great little number: the score I awarded to the movie. It was a serious score; sometimes I was struggling for days for giving a fair score. This list grew to almost filled out the notebook, maybe close to a thousand entries. It was my precious. But I lost it when I was in college.

My interest for movie began to fade during my college years. Maybe because I grew up and started to keep myself busy in a realistic world; or maybe the small notebook and the score were such a huge motivation, but it was gone.

Today, I happened to remember the lost notebook, and came out with the wired idea that without keeping a line for the movie I watched, I also lose the sentiment of the movie which once touched me. So here is the start of my note of movies.
