Movies 2006

Movies still play an important role in my live but going to the movies continues a decline. We just can’t find the time together to go to the movies unless we are going out with a group from the office. When that’s the case we end up seeing much more mainstream “entertainment” movies than I would select for myself. We also prefer viewing movies in the comfort of our own home, the cheapness of renting a DVD, and the special features and commentary tracks on the DVD.
