In the Movie Theater
So, what's that upcoming movie that you just can't wait for to come out in movie theaters?
My mom and I are going to watch The Princess and the Frog on Christmas day, then we're going to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squekquel. I can't wait for both!!

Lately, not much.
With ticket prices here hitting $10.50 a pop here, add on to that the cost of snacks and you're looking at $35-$40 for me and DW to see a flick.
By those guidelines, it has to be something that would DEFINITELY lose a little luster if not seen on a big screen I.E. Transformers, 2012, or basically anything with serious special effects.
Anything else is a Netflix rental or $19 DVD purchase a month or two later.

Agreed,
Hollywood has just about priced my family out. We only take in movies at the theaters that we just cannot wait for. This equates to about four a year now. By the time I pay for all five of us and any snacks it is around a $60 ordeal. So or standard operating procedure is to split up. Wife wants to see New Moon, I can pass. I read all four books but found the second one boring (no offense). Kids want to see Princess and the Frog, looks like that will be a family affair. I am holding out for Green Lantern, Captain America, and the Hobbit but I have long waits for each.
Loads of trips since 1974...

I hear you GL...especially with "New Moon". DW made me see the first "High School Vampire Musical" as I called it last year and it's 2 hours and $35 of my life I'll never get back. This new one I'll wait for DVD.
I think pretty much the only movie on the immediate horizon that I'm stoked for - and I'll admit I wasn't stoked when I first heard about it but the trailers are amazing looking - is the remake of "The Wolf Man".

I'm looking forward to seeing 2012. I think it's already out. I love a good disaster movie, and some bad ones too! Plus I'm a big John Cusack fan.

I want to see The Road next week. I know it is going to be a hard subject matter to watch, but I just love Viggo Mortensen. He is such a wonderful actor.

Oh this is a bad one alright! Saw it last week. AMAZING special effects, and so cheesy you could make pizza from the performances....which is EXACTLY what you want in a disaster movie!
Definitely gives a nod to the old "Towering Inferno," "Earthquake" kind of movies.
COMPLETELY unbelievable, but good fun. Just check your brain at the door and you'll be fine.

That's great! I allow myself to shed a couple of tears at cheesy disaster movie performances. I always shy away from seeing good dramas at the theater, because I hate crying in public. Sounds like this movie is right up my alley!

Me & my boyfriend didn't like "2012" at all! We agreed that Roland Emmerich's other hit "The Day After 2moro" was soooooo much better! This was a film with absolutley great special effects, but there wasn't much of a story.
As for what I want 2 see- oh, i don't even know where to begin! i'll just start a list..
Wolf Man
Shutter Island (new Leo Dicaprio movie that looks awesome!)
Avatar (most expensive movie ever made now on record & in 3d! me, my boyfriend, my bff and her boyfriend will all be seeing this opening nite!)
- oh gosh there are so much more but I can't really think of any rite now. I'll have 2 post again later when I'm not tired!

New Moon (Again!)
Letters To Juliet
Dear John
When In Rome
Shutter Island
Really looking forward to Valentines Day! It comes out on my birthday (Feb 12) and I've been watching trailers ever since they put them online. I'm a sucker for romance/chick-flicks.

Agreed I forgot about "The Wolf Man" it looks incredible.

Invictus
Avatar (Still undecided on this one)
Sherlock Holmes
Daybreakers
Shutter Island

I don't necessarily want to see Brothers in the theater, but eventually. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but it seem very right to have Toby McGuire and Jake G. play brothers. They are always linked in my mind for some reason.
I'm looking forward to Sherlock Holmes too. (Anything with Jude Law.) From the trailers, it doesn't seem that Watson will be a slow-witted buffoon, as he's usually portrayed. I will be seeing that show in the theater!

Agreed also on Sherlock Holmes however I have heard some things about the film that make me skeptical. I am glad Watson will not be a buffoon, as I am a fan of the original stories, where Watson is an athletic Army vet and very much the ladies man.

With prices today, I don't really think about setting foot in the theaters. I'd rather spend the cash on a home theater. No worries about someone else ruining the movie with a cell phone, yapping the whole time, etc.
I think the last movie I saw was Return of the King, and I won't be back until the Hobbit.
Everything else is a rental or download quite honestly...

There isn't really anything that I have to see in theaters. Star Trek was the last movie that I saw and it was one that you really had to see in the theater. And it was excellent, by the way.
An Education and Broken Embraces both seem to be movies that I'd like to see and they are both out now. But I'll probably wait until I can get them on Netflix or cable. I'd like to see The Fantastic Mr. Fox too, but that will probably have to wait as well.
It's odd, but since I had DS, I hate to watch any movie that is in any way sad or depressing or disturbing. I just can't stand serious drama anymore. I need fun and funny films.

I just saw it on DVD and regret not having seen it in a theater.
Do I see some irony in this thread? Many of us, myself included, complain about the cost of experiencing a movie in the theater as too high but do not hestiate to spend on the stuff at WDW?
