Why I'm doing this

Going to the movies in theaters is no longer an enjoyable experience. The cost of tickets and snacks is crazy. The audience has ruined the "audience experience". Technology has made home viewing much more pleasant, and each year advances toward equalling that of the big movie houses.

Almost every budget can now afford a widescreen TV and surround sound. High end audio-video stores are selling home theater seats.

I prefer to sit on my comfy reclining seat, eating my freshly made popcorn, drinking my bottomless coke, watching a good movie on my good TV with my good sound system. I don't have to crawl over others when I've rented too much soda. They don't have to crawl over me to get out either. I don't have to be kicked in the back or try to peer around someone's over-processed hair.

So who's with me? Stay home and watch movies in your underwear, or not, and truly enjoy cinema your own terms. Talk if you want. Watch with the lights on or off. Set up those subtitles. Rewind when you don't get the jokes, the accents, or the plot line.

Movies WAWA is dedicated to movies on DVD, new and old, worth a watch again. Or maybe for the first time. Everyone has comfort food. What are your comfort movies?

It looks good. Play with the formatting a little keeping in mind that aesthetics count. Some sites either use too much contrast and too little. It should be pleasing to the eyes.

Have you decided which movie will be the opener?

It looks good and sounds good. Good deal adding the video. I think that you get the drift.

I can't decide which movie you should review first. Have you?

Take out the moderation for now. Add it if the comments get out of hand. With movies review I don't think you should have any issues.
