Traditionally, most of the films that I have watched have been on DVD or terrestrial television, but since I've been living in a city centre, I've found myself going to the cinema a lot more than I used to.

...will set you back something between £3.50 and £6.00 per film, so if you go with someone else as I always do, you're looking at £10 a throw.

The thing is, I get paid for it, get to take my wife with me, and have some fun in the process.
