The concessions are way overpriced, especially for beverages. <br /><br />Plus, if you have an HD TV with a Blu-Ray, the picture quality at home is superb.Pinching Abehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049699112785811449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438368668223871493.post-8158033302426456702013-08-14T17:14:15.936-04:002013-08-14T17:14:15.936-04:00We've cut back on the number of movies we watc...We've cut back on the number of movies we watch at the theater because ticket prices are out of this world. They even charge crazy prices for the kids now days. You can't really have high ticket prices and then the concession prices are expensive too. Kind of takes some of the pleasure out of going to the movies for me.<br /><br />A lot of movies this summer that flopped in the theater are actually doing pretty good in terms of Redbox and On Demand rentals due to the fact that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg and you can enjoy all the snacks you want for a reasonable price from the comforts of home.K.

I trust a friend's opinion more than a movie critic. Listening or reading their reviews is like sitting in your high school literature class wondering how the heck your teacher got so much more out of a book than you did!<br />Pinching Abehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049699112785811449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438368668223871493.post-46803919394373416992013-08-14T15:57:12.605-04:002013-08-14T15:57:12.605-04:00Now plug in the hateful reviews by the critics!
