I'm searching for a movie theater that is showing Breaking Dawn pt. 2 and can't find it any where! I did notice that there are quite a few remakes playing and was surprised because I haven't seen any ads for them. Leonardo DiCaprio is in a new version of The Great Gatsby and I didn't notice who is in it but another Texas Chainsaw Massacre! I would like to see both movies but especially since I like horror movies I want to see Texas Chainsaw movie. This must be #4 for this movie but I don't think they put numbers on them. Have you noticed any movie remakes in your area that you would want to see?

There are so many movie theatres around here I can't believe it isn't at one of them still. I only checked the one closest to me so I guess I'll have to expand my search. Les Miserables was an awesome play I don't know how it will translate into a movie...it is awesome though.

I think it has been translated in a very successful way previously in a french film...and in a movie starred Liam Neeson..about a decade ago..or more.. im sure this new ones ..can deliver a 2hour plus play..precisely and brilliantly in a 2 hours plus film...! hey..u also can make some money and fun at this site..similar also to mYlot. http://www.spidermetrix.com/sm120.php?refspider=rafiholmes

I have to admit that led miserables looks good. I usually hate plays and even worse play movies. I watch two minutes of hamlet and got extremely bored. I want to see les miseables because I thin it has potential kind of like the remake of west side story.

Hi, Strange, but a few days ago, I have this discussion with my co-worker about watching movie in a theater. I noted that the last one I saw was a Tom Clancy movie version of a favorite book and now a favorite computer game "Sum of All Fears." When we tried to trace when was that written, I was surprised to note that it was released sometime ago. So I did a double take and remarked "That long?" I was never inside a cinema house. Blame it on huge LCD monitors at home that offers super clear and 3D shows that can be had at half the price or can be downloaded for free. Add the cost of having to go downtown, buy a snack and the hassle of going back home, it is often more convenient and enjoyable to watch movies from the comfort of my bed.

If I get to go to a movie I can get a ride there and back with no problem. I would bring my own snacks. You do have a point in it's more comfortable watching movies at home.

Technology has made so many different things possible over the years, but I miss the days without it.

Oh good grief not another Texas Chainsaw Massacre! I am not a big lover of remakes to be honest, however there are some exceptions, like for instance Titanic, but because I am a big fan of Leonardo Di Caprio I won't mind watching it. I guess it depends on who's in the remake. I won't watch the new Spiderman, because for me Toby Maguire is the ONLY spiderman in my eyes, I am funny like that with superheroes, if the original actor is changed then that will spoil the whole film. Funny when I was younger I used to love horror movies, now they scare the hell out of me and I can't watch them.

I know...another Texas Chainsaw but I think this one is in 3D so that would make it interesting.

Hello dear ! I was actually surprised to learn of a new Texas Chainsaw movie as the last one was really good and pretty new as well. That goes for Judge Dredd as well (how can they try to replace Sylvester Stallone) and for Total Recall. Most of the times remakes don't do well, but I am always open to giving them a chance, and actually I would like remakes after movies or series that did not have the technology to look great when they first appeared.

That's the problem...it's not the same when they put in a new actor as the main character. I don't know how they could replace Stallone and wouldn't be interested in watching it to find out! it ruins everything.

Breaking Dawn 2 has been shown on November last year. SO I doubt if you will ever see them playing til now. Your 2 months behind it already. And I guess for you to be able to watch it, you'll need to buy Dvd or download it online.

I'm looking forward to watching it on cable. I'm sure it won't be long until they show it. I couldn'tfind it online and I wouldn't download such a long movie.

I think breaking dawn 2 is not anymore out in some theater. Better buy a DVD if you like and if you cant watch on theater. Their are new movies now showing and I guess its not anymore showing.

Hi ctryhnny, the movie remake here in our area that I would love to watch soon is Les Miserables. But that Great Gatsby starring Leonardo Di Caprio sounds interesting because I like that actor and I adore the novel so I hope to see it again playing in our local cinema. Thanks for sharing this. Have a great day!

I'm especially interested in the Great Gatsby too because I loved the novel and the original movie.
