“8/24/2025 In the current reality that movie theaters show almost 30 minutes of advertising, it is refreshing to have a movie theater that respects your time. Went for the Kpop Demon Hunters Sing Along. I can say the experience was great. Also, it is a great theater where you can see independent, international, and art house film. Even if the movie ticket may cost few dollars more, it more than makes up for respecting the movie goer. So far I have seen 3 movies in this movie theater.”
