So now that the Academy Awards are over, maybe you're thinking about seeing some of the nominated movies you missed. This is what's known in the movie biz as the post-Oscars box office bump, when ticket sales spike right after the awards ceremony.
The problem is, at $10 or more per ticket, seeing a bunch of movies can add up quickly... so you think, I'll just wait for the DVD. But who wants to wait? And sometimes, watching a DVD at home just can't compare to the experience of seeing a movie on the big screen.
What if you could see movies on the big screen for less than the cost of a movie rental? I happen to love the Academy Cinemas in Pasadena, run by Regency Theaters. It's what's known as a second-run theater, showing movies that have already disappeared from the major movie-plexes. Tickets are only $2 before 6:00 pm and $3 after 6:00.
This week, the Academy (not the one that puts on the Oscars) is showing "Revolutionary Road," "Frozen River," "Waltz with Bashir," "Frost/Nixon" and "Rachel Getting Married." All of which were nominated for Oscars. Regency also operates the Fairfax Cinemas on Beverly, which is currently showing "Doubt," "Milk" and "Revolutionary Road."
Go to the Regency Theaters website for more information on these and other theaters and for showtimes.
