What I like today - Hollywood Blvd/Palms theaters

This one is located in IL for those out of state people I am sure there is something in your area too.  What a better idea than a place where you can watch a movie, and are served food and drinks!
Hollywood Blvd is in Woodridge, IL and Hollywood Palms is in Naperville, IL.
Pricing on tickets is pretty good too $6 before prime movie time and $8 for night movies.  And you just need to purchase one thing inside the movie, but I never have an issue choosing one item.
Things ranging from Lord of the Onion Rings, Potato Munch Skins, The Chuck Norris Chicken sandwich, Grinch Dip...you name it. They have a full bar selection menu as well as usual Movie snacks such as popcorn and candy.  Cool thing is your server brings things to you as they are done.
Another great thing is you sit in high back leather executive chairs and there is a bench style table in front of you.  Each movie theater is stadium seating and every theater has its own theme. And they do not skimp on the decorations, one room is Muppets, Wizard of Oz, Disney you name it. Pretty cool.
If you are sick of the same old movie scene this is for you!   They have daily specials:

• Monday
  Half price buckets of ice cold domestic beer.
  Six bottles of your favorite brew packed in ice.
• Tuesday
  Half price pitchers of margaritas and long island iced teas.
  Half the price, twice the fun.
• Wednesday
  $3 regular admission and $6 3D admission with your valid photo College Student ID.
• Thursday
  All rat pack classic martinis are just $5.
• Friday
  Buy your gift cards today!
• Weekend
  $3 regular admission and $6 3D admission for seniors(65 and older) to the first matinee of the day (only).

And check out their website and get on their mailing list.  You could get invited to sneak peaks or previews.  They also advertise when stars come to their theater. But beware this does cost a pretty penny to get close to them.

Make sure you sign up for the birthday club when you go in, around your birthday they send you via email a coupon for a free movie admission for you and your friends.  You just have to buy food and stuff when you get in.

Also with every ticket you buy you get a green coupon good Sun-Thurs for buy one get one ticket free on your next visit. Good for a month after you originally went.

Check this place out! It is pretty darn cool.  This place is kid friendly
Those under the age of 18 must always be accompanied by and seated with a responsible adult regardless of the MPAA rating.  Children under 4 years of age will not be permitted in any R rated film after 6:00pm. 


Plan to arrive 20-40 minutes prior to show time. They do seat on a first come, first served basis so naturally the earlier you arrive, the greater selection of seats you will enjoy.   They usually start seating 20 min before movie time.  But they do line up.

What movies I like today: Crazy, Stupid, Love

Crazy, Stupid, Love

http://crazystupidlove.warnerbros.com/index.html

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1570728/

  118 min  -  Comedy | Drama | Romance  

Steve Carell, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling and Julianne Moore star in one of the best movies of the summer. This was not a movie I was really thinking about going to see.  But a friend wanted to see it so I did. I am so glad we went. One of the best movies begining to end I have seen in ages.  Funny, smart, comedy with soul. 

It does have a range of emotions.  Most of which is laughter and happiness.  But there are some parts that tug at your heart strings.  I find this to be a great sign that the movies plot sucked you in and you have fell in love with the characters.

Steve Carell is as funny as ever, and this was a perfect roll for him.  Physical comedy as well as sincere ability to show emotion.

Ryan Gosling what can I say num num num.  Great actor, great looks. I hadn't ever seen him in anything before b/c his usual work is too sappy for me.  This was a perfect roll for him to be in to maybe get more fans.  Again...wow (he takes his shirt off) wow.

Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses since I saw her in Easy A.  She is a tough actress with skill.  She has a great career ahead of her. 

This movie bring some newcomers too. 

Please check out this movie! It has heart...and will get yours!  It will make you laugh out loud too.  I mean there are twists and turns as well.  You wont be bored or sorry you saw this.  Let me know what you think!

Synopsis as found on

http://movies.about.com/od/crazystupidlove/Crazy-Stupid-Love.htm

Movie Synopsis: At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream--good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his "perfect" life quickly unravels. Worse, in today's single world, Cal, who hasn't dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protege to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). In an effort to help Cal get over his wife and start living his life, Jacob opens Cal's eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style that can't be found at Supercuts or The Gap. Cal and Emily aren't the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal's 13-year-old son, Robbie, is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica, who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal's makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can't be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began.
