Default 2009: What got your money?

I made a similar thread last year. 2008 was the first year I kept count and I saw 30 flicks in theaters. For 2009, I reached the 30 mark early. I got there last night with Paranormal Activity and I'll break my record on Friday with Where the Wild Things Are.

So how many different movies have you seen in theaters this year? Give a number and list if you'd like. Here's mine:

1. Notorious
2. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
3. Friday the 13th
4. Watchmen
5. He's Just Not That Into You
6. The Last House on the Left
7. Fast & Furious
8. Dragonball Evolution
9. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
10. Star Trek
11. Terminator Salvation
12. Drag Me To Hell
13. Up
14. The Hangover
15. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
16. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
17. Away We Go
18. The Ugly Truth
19. The Proposal
20. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
21. District 9
22. Halloween 2
23. The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard
24. Gamer
25. Extract
26. Jennifer's Body
27. Whip It
28. Zombieland
29. Couples Retreat
30. Paranormal Activity

Hmmm... Have the first two, and don't own, nor plan on owning, a console.

Plus, as I indicated, the actual list of what I had to pay for is considerably shorter.

I saw Slumdog Millionaire this year but didn't count it since it was a December 2008 release. And I've seen several of the movies on my list multiple times; I just counted the different ones.

I'm very iffy on IMAX after seeing Paranormal Activity last night. I saw it on an IMAX screen and it gave me a huge headache because our seats were too close. I've never seen a true IMAX movie but I doubt I'd want to now unless I could sit in the very back row. It kills my head to have to continuously move my eyes around the screen.
