A Penny in the Well movie
definition
As the pressures of becoming
a father of four and a tougher work schedule than I’ve ever had before, I find
it increasingly difficult to post a new film review every day. Not so much
because I don’t want to write a new review each day, but because I just can
find the time to watch enough movies to do that. I just can’t write about a
movie simply by memory. I’d really prefer to watch the movies I’m writing about
so I can present fresh views on them. So, I find myself in a dilemma if I want
a new post each day.
With the release of “Life
Itself”, the documentary about the life of film critic Roger Ebert, I also find
that I miss some of the details he contributed to cinema. One of those details
were definitions of cinematic phenomenon, such as the Meet Cute, that often
cutesy moment when two characters are first introduced to each other. Ebert had
a tradition of continuing to contribute to his ever growing film glossary of
definitions and terms, which the people who run his website probably still do,
but I’ve decided to steal this idea from him.
