Too damn expensive to go the movies here lol(New Zealand- $12-esp. if the movie is a complete bomb ie: sux lol)- and it doesnt take long for the 'block busters' to come out here so usually see it on DVD(plus no waiting in toilet ques etc lol), also ya get to see many great movies that arent deemed ' popular viewing'(on DVD - or Video) but are more often the case better than half the crap that make it to the big screen. The only films i have bothered seeing on the big screen(in the last couple of years) and know are going to be amazing are the LOTR trilogy- bring on the last one!! whoohooo- Peter Jackson better win an Oscar next year grrr
