Another Movie Thread - Because We Love Them So

[Sabra]

This one is about "I Expected to Loathe This Film, But It Was Great."What has pleasantly surprised you lately?

Hi,

I don't pay $6.50 to see a movie @ my favorite Harkin's theater, that I might expect is not good, I like to read a review first depending on the genre.

There are movies I will see no matter what the critics say. e.g. 300 [Spartans] I loved it, I bought the Directors Cut.

I have a Roku & Netflix for streaming to my 57" HD TV [bragging ] so I can view a movie I thought was not good without spending alot of cash.

When I did have cable there were times I would watched a movie I did not see in the theater and I would say "Ouch" I wish I had seen that one on the BIG Screen!!!

Since I can't think of one I will need to think on this one.

Generally I only go to see film in the theaters when it comes to the $2.00 movie picture show. I break that rule to take The Boos to the movies though. They love to go to the Disney stuff. It is hard to justify the cost of seeing a film in a theater. Then too, it seems that people no longer appreciate that they should not talk during the film. Sheesh!

Jim, I agree! "300" is an amazing film. It's like something out of a graphic novel. I really enjoyed it.
