THE BATTALION
Meaghan Groves, a freshman special education major, believes
that going to the movies is no longer a cheap and inexpensive thing
to do.
“I think that since there is only one theater in town, they defi
nitely try to charge as much as they can,” Groves said.
Even though theater prices in College Station are up to $6.75 for
adults on weekend nights. Groves does not let that deter her when
she plans an outing to the movies.
“I’m probably going to see seven to 10 movies this semester,”
Groves said.
Among the ones she looks forward to watching the most include
the recently released “Along Came Polly,” “The Butterfly Effect”
and “Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights.”
Groves said that although movie sequels are not normally her cup
of tea, she is willing to make an exception for an 80s classic.
“I don’t like it when they make a sequel that tries to be like the
original and fails,” Groves said. “(But) I saw the preview for ‘Dirty
Dancing 2,’ and it looked good,” Groves said.
This spring, Hollywood will offer a buffet of different cinematic
cuisines. From light romantic comedies to religious dogma, this sea
son’s bill of theatrical releases promises a wide array of choices for
theatergoers. While college students work on their economic cost
budget, they may find it helpful to take a peek at the coming attrac
tions at their local cinemas.

According to movies.yahoo.com, the remaining weeks of
January will have two stars of Fox’s “That 70’s Show” release a
movie each on the same day. Jan. 23 will see the release of “Win A
Date with Tad Hamilton,” a romantic comedy staring Topher Grace,
and “The Butterfly Effect.” a science-fiction film focusing on time
travel starring Ashton Kutcher.
This month’s attractions include the release of two sequels;
“Barbershop 2” (Feb. 6) and “Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights”
(Feb. 13). “Dirty Dancing 2” will feature a brief cameo from the
original dirty dancer, Patrick Swayze. Other February releases
includes the true story about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team
coached by Herb Brooks, “Miracle,” starring Kurt Russell (Feb. 6),
and “Fifty First Dates,” which will reunite “The Wedding Singer”
co-stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore (Feb. 13).
On Feb. 25, Mel Gibson will unveil his much-anticipated and
highly controversial film, “The Passion of The Christ.” Several work
prints have already been screened for critics around the country.
Film critic Harry Knowles of Aint-It-Cool.com stated on his Web
site “this work print that Mel (has shown) is truly a remarkable and
brilliant film as is.”
