I love the Movies. I watch a lot of movies. Just last night, I saw Desperado on TV.
I go to the movie theatre a lot. Nothing beats the feel of a big picture in a dark theatre, surrounded by a crowd with common emotional response.
I think I went as often this year as any other year, but I have a lot of movies to go to get ready for the Oscars this year. The awards are March 2.
