film's good=one's good
if so, it will use "am thinking"
film's good=something is good
if so, it will use "think"

The progressive verb "am thinking" denotes a thinking process. In this case "think" is correct because it is an opinion. :wink:

its not a continious sentense thats y we cant use "am thinking" its jus a simple present tense so "i think" is more likely

Hi
yes, simple present
We can use this rule:
simple past: I + mind verb
present continuos: I am + (mind verb+ING)

Good luck
