When did movies get so expensive? 12 bucks to see Hillary and Haylie Duff prancing around to their cover of a Madonna song...I don't think so (actually someone did see this since "Material Girls" made 7 million over the weekend). But that's besides the point. It would take over $45 for a family of four to watch a movie on the weekend. And this is at an old crappy theater without the attraction of the Village or Arclight. I miss the good old days of four or five dollar admissions. And they wonder why attendance is decling each year. So to combat this trend, I've been going to the Grove in Los Angeles and watching two, sometimes, three movies a trip. The Grove's a great theater and no security. The times match up so perfectly that they're begging you to see another movie. It's a great thing to do when you have absolutely nothing else to do and want to catch up on the latest movies...My blog is not just about entertainment but also a Pennysaver.

I just saw 4 movies at the Grove (a record). Although I did fall asleep during "Accepted", it was a great day at the movies
