That's the thing. Nowadays, I rarely go to the cinemas for a variety of reasons:
1. Tickets are blood expensive.
2. What do you get for your money? Big screen and deafening noise? And watching with morons who talk during the movie? (I reckon that talking loudly during a movie should be a capital offence) Whoopee. The prices tickets are now, they should throw in some bloody popcorn and Coke for free.
3. I can get a DVD maybe some months after the movie comes out for perhaps twice the price of a movie ticket, and yet, I can watch it how many times I want. With subtitles and special features to boot!
These days, I'll be lucky if I decide to go to the cinema more than three times a year. This year, as I mentioned, I watched Alice in Wonderland, Let Me In, Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance, and Tron Legacy. Last year...I remember watching Watchmen, but I cannot remember offhand what else I watched in 2009. Gimme a sec...
Ah, yes. District 9. Very hard film to watch, left a bad taste in the mouth, but very damn good.
And in 2008? Well, The Dark Knight, Quantum of Solace, Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Just had 'The Other Guys' on in the background while doing some routine work. I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell although I still end up watching all his movies (highpoint: Anchorman). It's like car crashes, can't look away and you end up covered in blood and traumatized.
I guess I kind of like the movie this time. The opening scenes were good, over-the-top. Then we get to the main characters come in, the plot gets on it way and it all sagged a bit. It wasn't bad, but not recommending it to anyone and I'm pretty sure I'll have forgotten ever seeing it in about 2 months.
Still hoping Steve Coogan will become funny again some day.

I rarely go to the movies. The teen only wants to go with the teens girlfriends.. and the child only wants to see Myley Cyrus or Barbie. and when I don't have the kids the last thing I want to do is to PAY to sit in a dark room..... I try to do that WHEN I have the kids but they keep getting in.... Though some movies NEED the big screen so last theatre movie I saw on the big screen was Inception and loved it.
We try to go to the movies together once a month as a date night kind of thing, although we usually go on Sunday afternoon since it's less crowded and easier to drop the kid off at Grandma's.
I love the cinema. I watch movies differently there, with fewer distractions than at home. But with the prices these days you've really got to pick your movies. I used to go about 2 times a week during college, now it's once a month, if that.

I did not think it was worth it's on thread, but I just want to mention that
"Billy Mae Dinsmore" past away on September 10th, of this year.
Whom the heck is that, you ask? Well, she was the Canadian actress which was the voice of Rudolph in "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer"!
