Hi MashlenOk,

Thank you for your kind words.

Detailed examination . . . In this context it will be better to say ‘thank you for your detailed analysis’. Also, ‘advice’ is never used in plural, only singular: ‘thank you for your advice’.

Computer animation . . . Yes, it can be used. Still, I prefer ‘computer generated images’ as the word ‘animation’ tends to suggest cartoons while ‘computer generated images’ are much broader concept.

Hi, Miss Smith!

Thank you very much for your detailed examination, corrections and advices.
About your question. I meant computer animation (I guess you've heard about Titanic, Avatar, Star Wars? So 80% ongoing films use computer animation and special effects.)

As a rule I choose films according to my mood. My best movie list consists of psychological thrillers, detective films or something outstanding of any genre. Simply speaking I admire stuff you need and want to watch twice for profound understanding. I can't stand typical, produced-for-masses pictures. You know... blockbusters, American horrors and dull comedies; they may be well animated and of high quality but plots're identical in general. I suppose such movies are watched at the cinema. Do people watch films while eating popcorn or eat popcorn while watching films? It just clutters your mind, that's it.
