Darien Campo | Designer<\/span><\/p>\n I love movies. A lot.<\/span><\/p>\n The problem is I\u2019m not able to see a lot of newer movies until they hit one of my preferred streaming services. And by that point, it\u2019s usually been spoiled or I\u2019ve lost interest. Going to the movies is prohibitively expensive, natoonline.org puts 2017\u2019s average ticket price at $8.97 \u00ad\u2014 a record high. With some theaters charging up to $17 for a ticket, it\u2019s no surprise that the Hollywood Reporter recently revealed that theater attendance in 2017 reached a 27-year low.<\/span><\/p>\n I should know, for as much as I love movies, until recently I barely ever went to the theaters. But I just discovered a subscription service that offers a fantastic deal for those who want to see more flicks on the big screen.<\/span><\/p>\n MoviePass is a service that allows moviegoers to watch one movie a day \u2014 for only $10 a month. The service is powerful and easy to use. When users sign up, MoviePass mails a member debit card to their address. Users then sign in to the MoviePass app on their phones and travel within 100 yards of a theater. Once the app detects they are in range of a theater, users can reserve a ticket for whichever film and showtime they wish. MoviePass places money on the card, which can then be used to purchase the ticket as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n I went from going to the cinema only a few times a year to seeing 10 movies in the past month \u201412 if you count seeing \u201cStar Wars: The Last Jedi\u201d and \u201cThree Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri\u201d twice each. I\u2019m excited to be back in the theater seat watching the most recent films as they come. I\u2019m engaging with films more frequently than I have in years, and I\u2019ve even been taking chances and trying out films I normally wouldn\u2019t due to ticket prices.<\/span><\/p>\n Most theaters in the area accept MoviePass, including Independence Cinema, Cinnebarre, Salem Cinema and Regal Lancaster.<\/span><\/p>\n Hollywood gets a lot of guff for its constant sequels and reboots, but after getting MoviePass I\u2019m happy to say that there are plenty of fantastic films being lovingly crafted today. Below I\u2019ll list some recent films I highly recommend you go check out, 2017 was a wonderful year for film. If you\u2019ve been wanting to get back into the cinema circuit, MoviePass is a subscription service that\u2019s well worth a Hamilton a month.<\/span><\/p>\n Contact the author at dcampo13@wou.edu<\/span><\/p>\n Photo by:\u00a0Moviepass.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Darien Campo | Designer I love movies.
