Lately we seem to find it difficult to find any movie at any TV theater that appear worth seeing. Anybody else have this problem? Maybe our age (LOL) but they just don’t make good movies anymore.

I am with you there, they don't make them like they used to. Compare a movie like Pride and Prejudice with todays crap. Its like night and day.

Anyway, movie theaters are going the way of the dinosaurs. Overpriced tickets and caloric bomb popcorn with butter flavored soybean oil just doesn't compute with HD streaming or renting a blueray at Redbox, all in the comfort of home with no driving, parking, waiting in line etc etc. Time from theater release to streaming or DVD rental gets shorter all the time. 3-4 months for blockbusters and even faster for less commercial films. I can wait for new releases a few months, if it's a poor attempt at cinema I've only wasted a couple bucks.
