At the risk of sounding cheap, it costs a mini-fortune to go to the movie theater anymore! Has anyone else noticed that?  By the time you buy your ticket, get popcorn and a soda– for TWO– it costs a good $40.00.  Now while a movie can be entertaining, I sure can find a better way to spend $40.00–which is why I only go to the theater for movies that are a “must-see” movie.

For example, in the theater now is Vantage Point, The Spiderwick Chronicles, and Jumper all of which look highly entertaining and ones I want to see, but of the three I’d probably only go to the theater to see one of them, Vantage Point, because while it’s not a guaranteed “like”, it does have better potential than the others–for me that is.

An upcoming movie that I will definitely see is Untraceable– looks really good and Diane Lane is a great actress.  A have-to-see is Sex & The City, gotta see what’s happening with the fab four.  Another is Wanted with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. It looks totally action-packed and I think Angelina Jolie can totally pull off the bad-ass chick.

Not sure what else is upcoming, but those are the ones I will go to the theater to see that I know about.  The others, I’ll rent on DVD.  *shrug*  To me, it’s just too costly anymore to be able to go see movies in the theater, so when I do, I want to see a movie that packs a punch.

How about you?  Theater VS DVD?
