So 2005 was a bad year. So they raised ticket prices, again. Recently J & I went to the movies, it cost $19.25 for two tickets, and one was a student discount. It cost a further $4.50 for a drink. Yet, previous analyses have shown that movie houses don't make alot on the ticket prices, they make it mostly in concessions (and parking). So Hollywood and theatres bemoan their lost profits, but they produce crappy movies and overcharge for them, and now they have kids walking into the movie every half hour looking for filmers (How many have they caught, nationwide? One? Two? If i wanted to see this movie at home, i'd download something from the internet, its likely to be higher quality).

Anyway, this report has a roundup of the upcoming movies, most of the good stuff is in the summer. Noteworthy: Nothing really related to scifi or fantasy genres, but lots of sequels (of course), such as Xmen3, Pirates of the Carribean 2, Superman. We'll be lucky to have one decent Scifi movie this year.

At the aforementioned movie house, J & I saw Underworld: Evolution. We saw Underworld in theatre and recently on TV, I found it was better on TV than my first impression in theatres. The plot is basically about werewolves and vampires duking it out for supremecy. U: Evolution is a sequal, of course, and is much more violent and less plot driven than Underworld. At the end there was the requisit dismembering of the bad guy, and the audience oohed and ahhed. Anyway, the film was okay, but not spectacular.
