Going to a movie is a great winter activity, especially if the weather is bad. Also, many good movies have been released in the hopes of making Oscar nominations for 2011. Many family-friendly movies are currently showing. From the Muppet movie to Happy Feet 2 to Puss in Boots to Arthur Christmas to Hugo, and more, there are plenty of movies to enjoy over winter break. Today, we’re sharing a photo taken at the Regal Greensboro Grande at Friendly Center. If you are local, likely you know this theater well. We love the cranberry glow it casts at night.

If you celebrate Christmas, why don’t you take a few minutes this weekend and write out your top ten list for favorite Christmas movies; then compare it to the one from the Washington Times here. That way, not only can you head to the movie theater, you can also watch the classics at home. We know one thing for sure, after we go to the movies tonight, we’re heading to nearby Ridgeway and Madison in Sunset Hills to feast our eyes on the original streets aglow with light balls thrown high in the trees (see here).

Happy Weekend, all!
