Once again this year, AMC is pulling out the stops for the Oscar Best Picture Nominees, offering a special package for $30, starting next Friday.

$30 gets you a “collectible pass” to see all five movies:

• Milk
• The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
• Frost/Nixon
• Slumdog Millionaire
• The Reader

You also get a free large popcorn with free refills all day (no soda, though).    You can save $5 if you’re an AMC MovieWatcher member, and only pay $25.

While I’d love to see all these movies, especially Button again, I’m not sure I could sit in a theater for an entire day, seeing all films.

You can get the details on AMC’s website, here.

Further proof that people prefer a silly laugh over a deep, meaningful movie – Paul Blart: Mall Cop was number one at the box office over the weekend. I had planned to go see it, seeing as how it was filmed at “my” mall, but just never got around to it. It could have something to do with the foot of snow that fell over the weekend, or it could have something to do with the fact that I’m lazy. Here’s the weekend boxoffice take:

1. Paul Blart: Mall Cop – $33.8M
2. Gran Torino – $22.2M
3. My Bloody Valentine 3-D – $21.9M
4. Notorious – $21.5M
5. Hotel for Dogs – $17.7M
6. Bride Wars – $11.8M
7. The Unborn – $9.85M
8. Defiance – $9.21M
9. Marley & Me – $6.3M
10. Slumdog Millionaire – $5.9M
