Big screen worthy...maybe...maybe not....

Okay, so, if you have read any of my post you know that we seldom go to movies at the theater. My husband has certain guidelines that deem them either "big screen worthy" or no....

My step-daughter was down from school and had decided she wanted to see "Lion King" in 3d. So, my husband being a huge fan of baseball had been thinking of going to see "Moneyball", with Brad Pitt so we went to see that and she went to her movie.

I actually liked the movie more than he did! Though, I did not know very much about the story behind the movie and my husband did. Maybe that made the difference. Maybe not.

Though I will say that though I liked the movie, it wasn't worth the money we spent to see it in the theater. It is so sad how much it cost these days for a family to go see a movie. There were three of us and it cost close to $70 to see the two flicks....and...that is not even in a nice movie theater, with comfy seats that recline back. Here in Ocala we do not have a nice theater to go to, don't get me wrong it is not the worst I have ever been to but it is far, far from a nice theater and so very far from giving the consumer bang for their buck.

Which, is pretty sad in an economy where people are giving up entertainment outside of the house to save money. Wake up Regal Hollywood 16 of Ocala, take a few tips from Celebration Cinema.....make more movies "big screen worthy"....even if the movie is so so at least if the theater is a good one it would draw more people!

So...all that being said it was good but...."Moneyball"....maybe...but....maybe not "Big screen worthy"....
