Film cans

Good news, Boston dwellers! National Amusements is screening holiday classics for FREE--the cinetrix's favorite price--at several of its theaters. There's a catch, but it's one you can roll with:

Holiday Classics is a four week holiday program offering moviegoers FREE admission to a classic holiday film with a donation of a non-perishable food item to benefit local food banks or local community services. Holiday Classics is every Saturday morning at 10:00am through December 15th at Showcase Cinemas Woburn, Randolph, Revere, and Lowell.

      Film schedule:
      December 1st: It's a Wonderful Life
      December 8th: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
      December 15th: White Christmas

Not in Boston? You should still donate to your local food bank, people. Food banks are hard hit this year. Just take a gander at this article from today's Times and then give til it hurts, cuz nothing hurts worse than going to bed hungry.

Food banks around the country are reporting critical shortages that have forced them to ration supplies, distribute staples usually reserved for disaster relief and in some instances close.

Remember: Skip the popcorn next time you go to the movies and put that money toward canned goods. </soapbox> Have a good weekend.
