“This theater is AWESOME! A true throwback to what a theater was, and SHOULD be. I cannot stand the modern chain theaters with the assigned seating, blinding screens, and tacky stuff. Not here. This place has great quality movie showings without blinding the heck out of you. You can sit wherever you want. Place is old school, and it's great. This is what I remember theaters being like as a kid. Plus, the prices are FAR MORE reasonable than AMC or Cinemark. I came here for the first time tonight, and was blown away. I will not go anywhere else from now on.”

“This theater goes above and beyond to optimize the viewing experience for its customers, granting them leeway not afforded to moviegoers at any industry chains. The owner permits you to take your own snacks into the cinema, even extending that courtesy to pizza deliveries. YouTube Icon Sambucha proved this place's lenience and hospitality in an upload.”
