Going to the movies is a lot of work. Think about all the work that comes with a trip to the movies: For one thing, you have to wear pants the entire time. And I’m not particularly partial to pants, unless they’re made from yak’s fur, woven by Tibetan monks during a full moon. If you haven’t worn full moon yak pants, you haven’t worn pants at all.
Where was I? Oh, yes: Wouldn’t you prefer to relax by the pool while watching a great movie with the kids? If it gets a little hot, you can take a dip in the pool or maybe find yourself a cocktail at the nearby bar. Maybe order some tasty morsels from a menu designed by Wolfgang Puck? Does that sound a little appealing?
Well, if it does, make your way to our weekly series of Dive-In Movies, playing every Saturday this summer on our celebrated Pool Deck, starting at 8 pm. And you don’t even have to wear pants, so hurrah! (Editor’s Note: But swimming suits of some kind are obviously required.)
This week’s flick is Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Exciting and funny, this is the perfect summer night movie for the whole family. It stars Ben Stiller as he returns to the role of the museum security guard who simply is way over his head when all the exhibits in a museum come to life… again.
Every Saturday night, the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa invites you to join us for an evening under the stars, watching a Hollywood blockbuster on the hotel’s gorgeous fifth-floor Pool Deck. Starting at 8:30 pm, these screenings are the perfect place to relax, enjoy the summer nights, and enjoy some great entertainment free of charge. See the complete schedule here.
This week’s feature presentation is Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. After the first movie, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are on top of the world. But it can’t last. After an on-stage accident leaves their human friend, David, in the hospital, Alvin and the chipmunks have to head back to high school where they face off against bullies, popular girls, and most terrifying of all, true love. It’s the Chipmunks vs the Chipettes, as the boys are confronted by an equally talented, and much cuter, trio of female chipmunks. Will Alvin and the chipmunks make it out of high school alive? Will they fall in love? Will they ever behave?
