Best Movie Resources
For the true movie buffs, following are some of the best movie resources around:
Fandango – we use Fandango all the time to order movies ahead of time — so there’s no waiting in line at the movie theater. This is especially handy in order to avoid the crowds when you’re going to see New Releases and extremely popular movies.
Google Movies – simply type the word movies into the search bar, and you will immediately see all of the movie showtimes for your area.
Movie Mistakes – check out the most mistake-ridden films out there! See the bloopers that the producers actually got away with during the making of these films.
Movie Filming Locations – see which movies were filmed in your city… or nearby!
Hidden Easter Eggs in Movies – little known secrets and things you aren’t supposed to know about the making of a movie that are on the DVD.
Internet Movie Database (IMDB) – the biggest, best, most award-winning movie site on the planet.
80’s Movie Locations That Really Exist – see where some of your favorite movies were actually shot. Or, places that are represented in the movies that have a real life counterpart.
Rotten Tomatoes – I like their movie rating system best, especially since it’s incorporated into my favorite movie app: Flixster for Android and Flixter for iPhone.
Yahoo Movies – they have a pretty good rating system, as well as helpful reviews from people like you & me and movie experts.

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” ideas that most wouldn’t think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about. I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV. You can always find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
