It's all about the films...

...at least it'll have to be here. Any complaints I could think of (and there are many) are outweighed by the fact that on any given day, you can come here and see a movie that will blow you away, guaranteed. Not only that, this place gets the most pristine prints of every movie. Like I said, it's not perfect. The theaters themselves need some work...small, cramped, and with lousy A/C. Show up early, or you may find yourself staring at a support column. The sound is usually decent, though it must be said it depends on the age of the print. Same with picture...the screens could be bigger. Concessions are average (how 'bout COFFEE flavored coffee?) and staff is great. The crowd can be noisy and laugh at inappropriate places...come early to avoid that. Avoid the restrooms. This is one of my favorites...but it's all about the films.

Pros: The best movies., Friendly staff

Cons: Terrible design, No coffee???, Lousy crowds.
