Movies for Less at Cobble Hill Cinemas
Monday, July 26th Written by Polina Yamshchikov - Flirt PoorMovies are fucking expensive. Seriously, finding a theater that will let you escape reality for less than $12 in this city is practically unheard of. It’s not just tickets: I recently paid $4.50 for a bottle of Dasani (102 degree heat wave, I was desperate okay?) at a theater in downtown Brooklyn. That is some ... Read More →
Dating Movies From Your Youth
Monday, July 19th Written by Anna G - Caliburg ContributorThere are a number of movies that defined my childhood/teen years, though only a few that I cannot even try and separate from my dating years back then. Here are some of those movies for me and/or some of my contemporaries who shall remain semi-anonymous:
1) Fear
As far as I’m concerned, this was THE date movie ... Read More →
FREE Movies Under the Brooklyn Bridge
Tuesday, July 6th Written by Polina Yamshchikov - Flirt PoorAh, summer in the city. Nearly-naked commutes. Hydrant fountains. Cooling centers. That unidentifiable stench! And the heat. Oh, the heat.
Even though I woke up sweating, I wouldn’t trade my NYC summers for anything. The man himself says we’re from where summertime’s unforgettable. And it’s true.
Among the great summer traditions: free movies outside. They show ‘em ... Read More →
Ticket for One – A Guide for Solo Movie Screenings
Tuesday, July 6th Written by Alison Lambert - Half Price HeadlinerOnce upon a time I used to think going to movies alone was a sad sign that you were slowly turning into a crazy cat lady/man, only one step away from buying a collection of “cooking for one” cook books. My present self now wishes I could bitch slap that silly little past me, because ... Read More →
Summer Films at MoMA
Sunday, July 4th Written by Katy B. - Economic InexpertMovies in New York are the biggest rip-off ever. I refuse to believe that $13 is a legitimate price to see Jake Gyllenhaal play the Prince of Persia. Two dollars would be more reasonable, and I should have the option of a full refund if any of his gratuitous shirtless scenes should happen to make ... Read More →
A Guide to Seeing FREE Movies
Tuesday, June 8th Written by Broke-Ass Stuart - Editor In CheapSeeing movies is great and all but it can be pretty expensive. I mean in cities like San Francisco and New York, movies cost over $10! That’s just ridiculous. What follows is a list of ways you can see all kinds of movies without having to come out of pocket.

FREE Sonic Youth and Kurt Cobain Rock-umentary Screenings
Thursday, April 29th Written by Andrew Dalton - Aggressive PanhandlerI’ve never heard of the Oakland Underground Film Festival before today, but I guess that’s kind of the point, right? With the SF International Film Festival keeping all the local movie critics busy right now, it’s easy to overlook our friends in the East Bay. But tomorrow night the Pavilion Theater in Jack London Square ... Read More →
Remembering Playland at the Beach
Monday, March 15th Written by Broke-Ass Stuart - Editor In CheapHistory is often best marked by the buildings and landmarks left behind. These edifices act as scars, reminding us that our time is short and that there were people here before us, just as there will be after us. It’s the buildings remaining once an era has passed, that allow us access what that era ... Read More →
Movie Marathons and other Alliterations
Sunday, January 17th Written by Alison Lambert - Half Price HeadlinerAs I write this I am smack dab in the middle of an epic day known to geeks and movie lovers across the world as the one, the only, the Day of the Rings. On this day of reckoning the girls/boys are separated from ladies/men in an almighty back to back viewing of all ... Read More →
More Netflix Ideas! (Enjoy Movies Without Having to Sell a Kidney…)
Sunday, January 10th Written by Danielle Levanas - Bargain Soul HuntressI like movies. I like the escape they offer, I like being told good stories, and I like the post-film discussions they prompt over steaming hot chocolate. What I do not like is how much they cost. Believe me, I understand the occasional splurge to see Avatar in IMAX 3D for $17, but let’s face ... Read More →
