| - This is definitely one of Cleveland's assets--we are lucky to have a place like this! I went here for the first time in high school, when a film with Michael Stipe in it was shown.
You won't find your Adam Sandler comedies or Vin Diesel action flicks here--you can go find those at your generic multiplex just fine already! What you will find, though, are some outstanding independent and foreign films that aren't shown anywhere but art house cinemas and small independent cinemas that realize that the box office proceeds doesn't necessarily determine the quality of a movie. I have seen documentaries about the prevalence of corn in America's diet and animated foreign films, among others. Over the years, there have probably been at least 50 films that I have wanted to see here but did not get to see...too bad, because most of 'em never made it to the local video store!
The cost of a ticket is a *bit* more than your multiplex ticket, but I figure that the extra $0.50 or so goes towards keeping this place open, and since there is absolutely nowhere else in Cleveland at which one can see films like this, it's worth it.
Additionally, people at this place realize that it's not appropriate to talk\text message during a movie either! Most of the people here are wonderful fellow patrons with which to view a film.
Also, the people who work there aren't all up in your grill about bringing in outside food\beverages. I like that. =)
I do wish, though, that the seats had a *bit* more leg room. I'm about 6 feet tall, and unless I sit on the aisle, I wind up being a bit cramped. Oh well--just gotta get there early!
