Easy And Affordable Fun At Home

Posted: 10/15/2010

It’s easy to hold a movie fest at home. Rent a movie. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the latest releases together.

(NAPSI) - As seasons change, people tend to spend more time at home with friends and family--and look for entertainment options that will stretch their dollars through the weekends.

Here are a few suggestions for families and couples on a budget:

• Turn Friday evening dinner into smorgasbord night. It’s a great way to use up all the leftovers in the fridge while not having to plan dinner. Just heat in the microwave or the toaster oven, and a variety-filled dinner is ready in minutes. Then dust off one of the classic board games in the closet, such as “Scrabble,” and get the kids’ competitive juices flowing by letting winners choose ice cream or cake for dessert.

• There are no lines and no late fees for films on the digital cable Movies On Demand lineup. Instead, enjoy a wide selection of movies anytime without ever leaving the couch.

With just a click of the remote, turn any night into date night with Queen Latifah and Common’s romantic comedy about love and other games, “Just Wright.” Girls night in? Grab some gal pals, put on some waterproof mascara and watch Amanda Seyfried’s “Letters to Juliet.” Instantly embrace your inner rock star with the misadventures of Russell Brand and Jonah Hill in “Get Him To The Greek.” Or supersize your family night with a comedy about an oversized pooch, “Marmaduke.” Pajamas and popcorn not included.

Renting the newest releases has never been easier. Many films are available the same day as their DVD release, so there’s no waiting in traffic, at store checkout or for the mail.

Movies on demand are never sold out or out of stock, and you always get the best seat in the house. With several choices in high-def, you can enjoy high-definition entertainment at your fingertips.
