I might be able to catch a movie at a theater in a couple weeks (very rare given my married with children status). I was wondering what people would suggest as a must see. Ideally something that's worth seeing on the big screen as opposed to waiting for the DVD.
The only movie that's out now that I've seen is Avatar, which I would highly suggest seeing in the theater while you still can. It's better than you'd expect, and while seeing it in a theater in 3D is pretty cool, I'm not sure how good it'll be when experienced through a laptop screen and earbuds.
What movie to see?

One movie that I found very good, extraordinary measures. Great movie...

Re: What movie to see?
So Avatar was that good? I also heard The Lightning Thief was another good one. Due to my disgustingly busy schedule, I had to miss out on both of these. Though it was somewhat rediculous. Lightning was only out for like a week and a half. 
Be excellent to one another...

There is a reason for that.Due to my disgustingly busy schedule, I had to miss out on both of these. Though it was somewhat rediculous. Lightning was only out for like a week and a half.

Do yourself a favor... go for The Hurt Locker instead.

Re: What movie to see?
Or "The Green Zone", it's pretty good too.
Unlike what the trailers seemed to make it out to be, it's not another version of Bourne, but a different kind of movie...

The only films I'm even remotely excited about this year are Predators and Tron: Legacy.

Shutter Island isn't bad. Not best movie of the year good but it'll cover a couple of hours for you.
But I can't throw, I throw like a geek!

Yeah, that looked cool as well, but I'll wait for the DVD... to be released.

Another tip: Dear John.

basically the story of tow people who come to love each other, another one as many others, but this has an interesting story about Autism also. But as I am inclined to think, autism is a bit vague in this one, inclining more to Asperger's and 'classic autism'.

Re: What movie to see?
Don't go see Repo Man. Better to wait for it come out DVD and rent it. Decent movie, but not worth the ticket.
