New year, new you, same scene in Hollywood. Frankly, the pre-summer, post-holiday movie season is a little lackluster to spend too much time at the theater. In short, prepare for a lull that is to the movie viewers what soft-nonconference schedules are to college football/basketball fans. There will be plenty to see in theory, show times all day, but little worthy of shelling out 8 at the box office or 2 hours of your free time. Not to mention, with the Oscars in late February, all movies released too soon before or too soon after place themselves at a strategic disadvantage in terms of timeliness. Basically, if it hasn’t been released by now, it’s probably not going to rank among the year’s best. What can you do? The late winter months are a great time to watch movies at home, both avoiding theater flops and unsavory weather, not to mention catching up on films you may have missed on the big screen, but due to heightened demand for rentals, especially approaching Oscar season, it’s best to plan ahead. Here are some options:Redbox Found in many stores, including Walmarts nationwide, Redbox vending machines allow you to rent recent titles dating back several months for only 1 per night. Return your movie on time and a dollar is all it will cost you.Netflix With varying subscription plans, Netflix allows users to both order DVDs and take advantage of an instant streaming option with pricing available based on the number of discs rented at one time. The selection available for rent via disc is unparalleled; however, the Netflix instant options leave something to be desired, at least in this opinion.Movie Channels Premium programming options like HBO, Cinemax, Starz and Showtime allow for On Demand movie viewing as well as regular schedules featuring a wide variety of movies. These channels are generally available with an upgrade charge from your TV service provider, across a host of platforms, including Direct tv, Dish network and most cable companies.
