See a "Roadshow" event and watch films the way they always intended to be seen. CHE and THE RED RIDING TRILOGY were hopefully the first of many to follow.

If you can't get your hygiene under control, please stay home so that other people aren't forced to get an enhanced movie going experience.

The seats in Theater 1 are strange. One is practically lying down & staring up at the screen. Good for date night, I guess.

Great for Indy movies

Don't sit on the end of the row. There's no side or arm rest. You'll feel like you're falling off.

The intro (don't talk, don't use your phone) is frustratingly long.

Consider a membership. We. Love. Filmé.

This place really knows how to ruin a good movie. Fire alarm went off three times, sound was turned off, and movie stopped for several minutes.

Get a season pass to Stranger Than Fiction - it's the best deal in the city if you're a doocumentary film buff!
