The columnist can write whatever she wants, but unless she's willing to put down her own money to bring back big beautiful movie theatres, her opinion is just hot air. Sturgeon's law states that "90% of anything is crap" and its probably 95% for movies. However, if I wait I can find that 5 or 10% of good movies and avoid the crap. Unless the movie itself is a big spectacle like the LOTR trilogy, why would I shell out all that much money when I can see it for less at home? I wait 6 months for the film to come out on DVD - and the popcorn I make tastes better than the movie theater's.

Theater popcorn became uneatable when they stopped using coconut oil and real butter. I hope you use both (I do).

The Great Raid was a recent good movie I saw. I can't wait to see the Johnny Cash movie. I really liked Diary of a Mad Black Woman. That was a movie I want to buy. Aside from a few good movies, I would rather wash my car than dish out money to the lefties. I want to see the penguin movie though probably wait till that goes DVD.

The 1939 Academy Awards gave honors for the top movies of that year which included, "Gone With the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "Stagecoach."

What's missing today in movies is quality.
