I really miss the old theatres -- where the focus was the films, and not how many arcade games and restaurants are in the lobby. A theatre where it doesn't cost $50 a person for a night out because they need to pay for all those extras.
The Uptown is a traditional and wonderful old theatre --- not many screens, and usually, not a wide a selection, but the movies that do appear here are unique -- the Uptown doesn't confine itself to mainstream Hollywood --- anything goes. You'll find popular releases as well as independant films, depending on what's out, and you'll also find very reasonable prices for tickets, drinks, and tasty popcorn.
I'd chose this theatre over one of those over-the-top monstrosities in the large malls any day.
