Just a quick one:

2012 is shaping up to be a pretty good year at the movies.

I already love more movies this year than in 2011.  Here's the quick list:

The Grey
Chronicle
Cabin in the Woods

We are approaching the fifth month of the year and there are still so many exciting movies still to be released.  I am so glad to actually be enjoying movies again.  Here's a quick list of movies I'm really excited for:

The Sound of My Voice
Prometheus
Brave
People Like Us
The Dark Knight Rises
Premium Rush
Lawless
Looper
The Master
Lincoln
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

SIGH

I'm moderately excited about The Avengers, GI Joe Retaliation, Expendables 2, Total Recall, My sister's sister, skyfall, life of pi, Django unchained, the Great Gatsby and a bunch of others but for these I'm not holding my breath.  It is hollywood - land of expensive mediocrity after all.

So yeah, here's to going and seeing films in a theater in 2012.

On a side tangent I really wish I had a higher viewership.  I really would like to take a pole of 13-25 year-olds to find out if Reagal Cinema's plan to allow texting in the movie theater is a good idea.

Some say - It's a movie, you paid for a ticket -  should pay attention and not distract others around you with noise or light.

Others Say - It's so constricting--- so what if I want to text my friends, talk on the phone, check my stocks,  e-mail, and look up everything I can on that hot actress up on the screen.  I do it at home, why can't I do it in the theater?

I personally think it's stupid and annoying, but this just might be my "get off my lawn" moment come way too early.
