Abstract

I am a film addict; not a film critic. In this article I would like to make a few comments from my personal experience of seeing Hollywood films for six decades. Also, I have lived in Hollywood, right off the Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood walking about everyday on the star studded side walks where famous names are inscribed and within walking distance of the world famous Chinese Grauman's Theatre where the handprints and the footprints of great Hollywood actors and actresses who have made the grade have been immortalized on cement blocks with their autographs. I am saying this to establish my dubious credentials to talk about cinema.
