Few things feel more decadent than a weekday matinee. Just you, the over-priced popcorn, plush seat and thunderous sound that can block out those voices recounting the list of things still to do.
Professionals from all medical fields stress the importance of de-stressing - and what better way to de-stress than laughing or cringing at someone else's story. At United Artists La Cañada 8, 1919 Verdugo Blvd., you've got a selection of comedies, suspense and horror in which to lose yourself for two hours. The eight films and their showtimes are available here.
The laundry can wait, and unless the dishwasher's puddling onto your kitchen floor, so can the call to the plumber. So, if the kids are in school, and your allergies are thrwarting a trip to the local gardens, squeeze in a trip to the comfortably air conditioned cinema - located conveniently next to La Cañada's popular (which Patch's food reveiwer highly recommended.)
