– Movie attendance by me was up about 10% from 2009. I hope this trend continues, but with better movies (not likely, we just got tickets to the new Vince Vaughn/Kevin James opus in, if that’s any indication).
– A little under 60% of the movies I saw for free, mostly from studio pre-screenings but also from my friends at theatres throughout the city being really cool.
– Favorite theatres: Metro Cinema, followed by Empire City Centre, Garneau and Princess I/II.
Things I didn’t get a chance to see this year and would still like to at some point:

The American
Tamara Drewe
