I agree with Jason L. that the sign alone makes up for some of the ghetto-fabulousness of this theater. It's not clean, and it's expensive, but it's kind of cool to see a movie somewhere that's less chichi than Phillips Place. Yes, sometimes, the chairs are stick, and yes, sometimes it smells funny...but, they get some of the best titles out, and they also often show independent films. You don't get the snobby crowd of Phillips Place.
I'd still recommend bringing the big purse or backpack and sneaking in sodas. It's expensive!
