After 23 years of film criticism, I was back in front of the screen as a civilian. I had no idea what I would find. --by former NY Times film critic A.O. Scott

You can't replicate the cinema experience at home, regardless of how big your TV is or how impressive your audio setup is.

Watching some epic sci-fi on the big screen, or communally experiencing some creepy horror movie, or a whole crowd of 100s laughing along together at a ludicrous comedy is something I don't want to give up.

Sure, a lot of films are fine to watch at home but with a decent audience the cinema experience can't be beaten.
