Movies

I'm a movie buff like nobody's business. I've been going to movies for as long as I can remember and I'm not stopping anytime soon. When a movie comes out, I run to the theater to check it out and usually I'm not disappointed. Of the rare occasion(s) that I see a horrible flick, I make a point not to run out to every movie that drops in theaters. If it's a movie I HAVE to see, I see it immediately. If it's a mediocre movie that has the potential to be good, I'll wait a week after it's released. This weekend I went to see Contraband with Mark Wahlberg and it's a must-see. It's good to see Wahlberg back on the screen because I've been wondering where he's been hiding out lately. I have hundreds of DVDs and that list will only continue to grow. When I don't want to see a movie in theaters, I'll sit home and pop in a DVD; have my own movie night with some popcorn. The first movie theater I started going to was this discount theater in Tallahassee called Movies 8. Back then, movies were $.50 Tuesdays and $1.00 during the week. I still go to Movies 8 from time to time but when megatheaters started popping up in my city, they offered specials so I shifted my business there. There's nothing like going to a movie on Friday night, after you've put in a full day at work and got something to eat. I will return to Friday night movies very shortly but now...I catch flicks during the week because of the weekly discount specials that my two favorite mega theaters offer.
