Yeah, I can read reviews and things, but until I actually see a movie myself, I won't know if I will like it or not...and the box office will already have my money at that point.

That is why I hestate to pay big bucks to see the new releases. I'd rather wait until discount threatres like Canyon Meadows shows it. You don't feel quite as ripped off when you only pay $5.00
