Hadn't been to a movie in years but HAD to see Avatar and Shutter Island -- Avatar was worth every penny I spent but not sure about the other one :lol: :lol:

We just watched the old movie "Twelve Angry Men" last night. All three of my teens were totally engrossed as the story unfolded, and one of them was amazed at the total lack of special effects.

It was even in black-and-white!

I'm a big RedBox fan. I'll wait a bit and spend $1 for a movie. Unless it's something that has to be seen at the theater. Like Avatar etc. to get the special effects.

I saw Twelve Angry Men for the first time in 2008. When it was over, I turned to Jim and said "That should be required viewing for anyone who will serve on a jury".

We have a drive-in still in Granbury and it is Historical so they won't close it down. See two shows for the price of 12.00 per carload. We love it. Reminds us of our dating years. Go to the movies during twilight hour so half price and have a theater in Cleburne that is always 2.50. It's the snack prices that kill us. We like to buy used dvd's from blockbuster when they go for 4 for 20.00, etc. As much to rent them.
