…the team at BonusFinder want to spread some cheer by opening a new role where you’ll be paid to watch Netflix and eat takeout pizza. What better way to celebrate National Pizza Day on February the 9th, than getting paid to sit back, relax and enjoy some quality pizza and online entertainment.
There have been various contests and programs paying people to watch movies. We’ve written about them from time to time and will likely continue to share them here and there when we come across them. We’re not affiliated with this website or being compensated in any way for this post, it is simply something we found interesting and are sharing here.
Since we’re dedicated to movies on this website, we would be remiss if we never mentioned National Popcorn Day which takes place today, January 19.
Naturally, the movie chain Cinemark is celebrating with a promotion.
From Monday, January 18 to Sunday, January 24, guests will receive $2 off any size popcorn at all Cinemark theaters serving concessions.
In addition to the week-long deal, Cinemark is celebrating the start of 2021 by giving 21 Cinemark moviegoers free popcorn for a year.
Hopefully 2021 will be the last year in our area on January 19th that we are unable to visit a movie theater, buy some popcorn from the concession stand, and watch a movie. In lieu of this, I’ll be sure to hit up some microwave popcorn.
What about you? Will you be eating some popcorn today?
Weekend #3 of 52 (1/14 – 1/17/2021) for 2021 Picks By Streaming Service
Here we go again! The third week of the new year and, like stated here last week, it just doesn’t have the traditional feel of a new year. It still feels like April 2020 repeating itself like Groundhog Day.
A few interesting looking movies releasing new this weekend. Netflix has committed to 71 new movie releases in 2021 with this weekend’s premiere pictured right: Outside The Wire is a military sci-fi action flick with robots and humans fighting the good fight together. Love that they call the robots “gumps.” Get me a box of chocolates, please!
On Amazon Prime, a return to the turbulent 60s for a fictional meeting between four key fugures (Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Sam Cooke and Jim Brown) discussing their roles in civil rights: One Night In Miami.
The TV side of things, particularly on Disney+, is active this weekend with the premier two episodes (of 9 total planned) of Wandavision on Disney+. This new series follows the events of Avengers: Endgame.

Is it just me or does it not really feel like a new year so far? Usually, I’m excited about the prospect of entering a new year, but so for this new year feels no different than most of 2020?
Luckily, new streaming movies and TV shows continue to be released. Let’s see what’s up out there!

So glad to say goodbye to the mess that was 2020 and hoping all goes much better in 2021 and beyond.
On the movie theater front, Washington State has pushed back allowing reopening theaters to January 11, 2021 now, so our in-theater review coverage will not return until around the middle of the month, assuming there isn’t another delay by the state government.
There aren’t that many new movies showing in theaters this month (see: 6 Movies COMING TO THEATERS in January 2021), and who knows how many of those movies will be delayed anyway. That’s been a familiar story since March 2020 and it doesn’t look, unfortunately, like this will be changing at least the start of 2021.
We’ll see. Bottom line, the important thing is keeping safe and healthy. Plenty to watch on the streaming channels, so enjoy watching movies and TV shows in 2021!
