Hey, I loved "Napoleon Dynamite" and I'm more than twice 25. I'm a sucker for realistic films about the lives of adolescents, or even preadolescents. Some of my favorites: "This Boy's Life," "Ghost World," "Manny & Lo," "The Boy Who Could Fly" (but I hated the ending), "Sixteen Candles."

I seldom see a film that is so bad it annoys me. I'm pretty careful what I watch. I try to check out reviews, or at least ratings, by the critics I respect. Roger Ebert is my favorite. Any film he gives 3 or 4 stars to is definitely worthwhile in my book.

Usually, the worst thing I can say about a movie is that it put me to sleep. Another way I know a movie was bad (relatively speaking) is if a couple of months after seeing it, I can't remember what it was about, or can't remember for sure whether I saw it. This happens to me a lot lately, and I means I'd have a hard time coming up with a list of bad movies.

Anybody seen "Gummo"? One that most people will find excruciatingly repulsive, but I found strangely attractive. I find it hard to explain why. But I know I'll never forget some of the scenes.

The most brilliant movies I've seen lately: "Memento," "Spanglish," "The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
