I used to go to movies all the time, I would sit back with a large popcorn, a large drink, and a box of Red Vine licorice and escape into another world. As I got older and more movies being available in other ways, and I started watching more of the classics. My actual theatre viewing has dwindled. I finally started doing the math and realized that to go out to a movie now costs as much as a nice dinner out, or a copy of that movie on DVD/Blu-Ray. Watching home is nice, but sometimes it is nice to head out and experience the community of movie watchers in a theatre. Unfortunately, as I tell my students, I like to see and hear a movie, sometimes that is difficult to have happen in public.
So what am I looking forward to see in a theatre? ummm… I know there’s a lot coming out this year, but if the story is good, I can watch it at home and don’t need the “Super IMAX 3-D” experience. So, I’m thinking, maybe, (because I’m a glutton for punishment) Star Wars Ep. VII. There are many others that look interesting in 2015- Tomorrowland, Ant-Man, Inside Out, Pixels, A LEGO Brickumentary, Fantastic Four, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Spectre… will I actually see them? I still haven’t seen Avengers- Age of Ultron.
