Your sentiments are like mine Marc, its certain movies like your list Batman spiderman etc I have to see on wide screen,I have heard about slum dog movie and its up for all these awards so I must see it as well

Of course face book people are invited fenelle, we need to fill up the cinema

That’s a good point about accomodating the disabled dorielle, think the Olympus does that though, they have a ramp

Thank you Lyn, I believe in going to the cinema to support legitimate industry as well, as you and Marc said, there’s nothing like a good movies night out,

I am so hooked on a cinema that if I start to watch a dvd and realise it is an outstanding picture, I will stop the dvd and wait till it comes out in the cinema,
I consider watching a good movie on dvd first a waste, and as for those burn dvds, I don’t event look at them

Boyce I know exactly what you mean. I still get a thrill whenever I am going to a movie. Almost everything you said that you like about the experience – temporary escape from life’s problems, looking at the movie posters and viewing “Coming Attractions” – I also like. Except that I try to eat at home so I don’t usually buy food. Call me Ali Singh if you like. LOL

There is nothing like watching a movie on a big screen. However I only go to movies where it is better to see them on the big screen, for example sci-fi/action movies like Iron Man, Lord of The Rings, Transformers, The Matrix, etc.

While I like dramas just as much as any other genre, I usually wait to see them on DVD. Unless it is a drama that has created so much buzz that I can’t wait for the DVD, for example “Ray” a few years ago and now “Slumdog Millionaire”. That is a great movie and will probably win the Oscar for best picture. Go see it if you haven’t already.

my only caveat is that cinemas here are not friendly to even the mildly physically challenged but you are right, a movie is never the same on DVD and computers are not home entertainment centers. Piracy does no one any favours and I have heard people quarrel if their music gets pirated – in my opinion if you ever watched a pirated product or have a ‘dream box’ set up you cannot complain. Wha’ goes roun’ comes roun’!

Not only that, no one likes to work and not get paid so why be a thief and take money from those who work hard to give us entertainment.

Like you I like to go to the cinema. I like munching on sweets, popcorn and drinking juice, and the atmosphere is relaxing and wonderful.

Well done Peter!
