It’s no secret that we in America love our movies. Any day of the week, kicking back and watching a movie after a busy day at work or dinner is a favorite way to spend afternoons and evenings. Movies allow us to enter a new world of possibilities and, at the same time, learn about our own. There’s nothing difficult about sitting down, opening your mind and letting yourself go with a movie, except maybe finding the perfect theater to watch it. For that we have you covered. Here are five secrets to finding a movie theater near me.
1. Local newspapers
Most major cities have a popular local newspaper that many residents go to for all of their weekly local events and screenings. If you’re interested in seeing what new movies are coming out in your area, grab one of these newspapers and flip through the entertainment section. They will surely have reviews from local critics, screening times, and possibly even some reviews from audience members to give a more balanced picture of what the general audience feels about the film.
2. Vlog Reviews
There are many movie vlogs that you can also watch. A vlog is basically a blog, but instead of reading the author’s writing, you watch their live video recordings. Sites like Vimeo or YouTube host many different vloggers, from unknown to household names. Some vlogs focus on one style of movie, say comic book movies, and offer especially detailed reviews of them. They will also provide links to find a movie theater near you.
3. Blog Reviews
For those of you who prefer to take your information the old-fashioned way, blogging is still very popular. There are many blog sites that offer movie reviews and backstories, as well as details on the actors, directors, and any studio/production drama that occurred during filming. Like vlogs, they offer very specific, detailed reviews, as well as links to local theaters and resources.
4. Movie Review Sites
Many movie review sites, like Rotten Tomatoes, will offer critical reviews and audience feedback on new releases. This is a great place to check out all the latest movie releases with ratings while seeing which locations in your local area are showing which ones. Some theaters will offer similar services on their own website complete with ticketing information and online ordering.
5. Online ticketing
Some websites like Fandango serve to provide a quick and easy way to see all new movie releases with links to movie review sites, ticket sales, and local theaters. You can become a member and receive emails directly to your inbox regarding new releases and special events. With direct links to your local theaters, these sites are the most direct way to find the information you’re looking for.
