Most of the big movies never made it to my Burg this year.  Local cinema owners say that either (A) we are too small for the national distributors to send them here (our city + suburbs is over 100,000 )  - or - (B) they prefer to schedule movies that will make them the most money, namely family-oriented films that will attract kids + at least one parent AND generate lots of concession sales.

Result is that Slumdog Millionaire arrived only 2 weeks ago (I saw it, loved it).   Doubt and The Wrestler were here for only 1 week (I missed them).  That's about it for the top films.  No The Reader,  no Benjamin Button, no Milk, no Frost/Nixon.  GRRRRRRRRRRRR.  I will now have to turn to Netflix and wait until they all come out on DVD. 

So tell me, Cyber Friends, what did I miss?  Which ones should I definitely put on my reserve list?
