As the title suggests, I have a criteria to what movies I will see in the theatres, unless they are independents. I see who is acting in the film, watch interviews with the main roles and director after establishing if it's worth seeing, the main plot line, and also after capturing a few glimpses of the movie in their trailer or scenes; one can tell if the film is going to be great. The three points are terrific actors you know that can do the part justice, fantastic story to flow with the actors, and when watching those bits and pieces of the film see if the cinematography is up to par. Those are my criteria, if you want to know. Sometimes the stars and planets aline to make those amazing, fantastic, jaw-dropping films/movies that you decide to see. In my mind, I'm spending money on something I could be saving for to watch a movie that in a few months, I very well could rent it for half the price. There is only one movie right now I want to see in the theatre's (the other one I just saw), Milk. It was weird, flipping the remote at 11:15ish on Christmas night, and Brad Pitt and David Fincher being interviewed by the one and only, Charlie Rose. Even though they talked about the movie without giving too much away, I had to see it after watching these fantastic interviews. Some questions I've read in the Rolling Stone interview, but Charlie is able to "dig" and go deeper. That's what happened when seeing Sean Penn and Gus Van Sant being asked thought-out questions. So far this idea has worked for me, the last time other than tonight when I saw "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"--Fantastic!!, definitely saw why it is nominated for Oscars, was when I saw "The Dark Knight"-the best superhero movie ever, but I like the villain. I am picky about what movies I will take the time and see in theatres, now you know the reasons...feel free to use them yourself.
