Students looking for inexpensive entertainment Friday can catch a flick for $1 thanks to Student Activities Council and the Isis Theater.

The Isis is dropping their rates to $4 for students Friday evening and SAC will chip in $3 for students to watch either "No Reservations" or "Shoot 'Em Up." Students wishing to see both movies will have to pay the $4 rate for the second movie. Students must show their ID's to take advantage of the deal.

"We're trying to put together a night where students can have an activity off-campus," SAC adviser Tolu Kayode said. "We'll definitely try to see if students like it, so depending on the numbers, if it's something students will appreciate, we may do it again."

The movie night is also part of SAC's effort to keep students on campus for weekends, said Laura Dornbusch, chairperson for SAC's miscellaneous events. Dornbusch said that most activities last year had been during the week.

Tom Reeves, owner of the Isis and 1988 Doane graduate, said that the theater would be willing to participate in the promotion in the future as well.

"No Reservations" is a comedy starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart. Zeta-Jones' character is a top female chef whose life changes drastically when her sister dies and she is left to care for her niece. Food becomes the character's way to "express her roller-coaster life," according to Yahoo Movies.

"Shoot 'Em Up" is an action/adventure movie starring Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti, among others. The movie follows Mr. Smith, "the angriest, most hardboiled man in the world," who is charged with protecting a baby that everyone wants dead, according to Yahoo Movies.

"No Reservations" will show first at 6:30 p.m. followed by "Shoot 'Em Up" at 8:40.
