It was since last few months that I was lot more free and nothing to do. It was that period when I was even of surfing on internet for different opportunities and during that period I purchased a new 250GB Hard Drive and I kept all the movie in that hard drive which I got from all my sources. Now Whenever a new movie releases I will either watch it in theaters or I will watch it at my home on computer. I watched a lot of movies in the last year. I think it has made me movie maniac as my new college friends always wonder of how one can watch so many pictures. Well the only reason for that is that I was unemployed and was tired at home so did something like watching movie better than nothing.

I know what you mean. I've always been a movie buff but I think it was about the time that gas went through the roof that I ordered all the premium movie channels (HBO, Showtime, etc.) and got my DVR. Now I find myself watching so many I can't keep them straight! I know my granddaughter and her friends spend more time having "sleepovers" and watching movies than they do on more expensive activities with money tight for everyone. You can entertain four or five kids for the price of one by renting a few DVDs and making your own popcorn and other snacks plus it doesn't take any gas and you don't have to go out into the cold to take them or pick them up!

Thanks for your response. You are taking good steps in saving money, renting will not cost that high! Me too taking from friends and sometimes downloading from internet so not an issue for me too. Have a nice life ahead!!
