Summer Movies on the Cheap

During the dog days of summer, even swimming pools are balmy at best. It's time to look for indoor activities for kids, especially free ones. Enter: Free Summer Movies.

Many local Regal Cinemas theaters have been offering free family films on a weekly basis all summer, while AMC theaters have offered showings for $1.

The Cinemark Theater in Matthews which shows second-run films for $2 daily only charges $.50 per ticket on Monday evenings. You just can't beat that.
