I am about to risk sounding like an old man tearing into the new generation for forgetting all the great things about the last generation.

THE MIDDLE SEAT: “SIZE MATTERS”
Between my wife and I, screen size is a huge chasm of passion and indifference. I simply cannot watch a movie unless it is on a large screen.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “BEEN THERE, SEEN THAT”
Let’s talk this week about something that every single movie-goer experiences – artistic hijacked redundancy.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “TRAILER TRASH”
I have been endlessly fooled by movie trailers to frequent films that ultimately were nowhere near as good as the trailers suggested. Has this ever happened to you?

THE MIDDLE SEAT: “SCHWARZENEGGER OR SONY CLASSICS”
In my humble opinion, there are certain people who don’t “get” movies, and thus should not be allowed to view movies at all.
THE MIDDLE SEAT: “LET’S NOT GO TO THE LOBBY”
