| - This theater sits at a good location, far from everyone I know, yet a good "inbetween" meeting point for us. So when my friend from North York and I (from Mississauga) want to watch this movie, this 20+ km drive is a usual choice. This cineplex is HUGE, definitely bigger than the Square One or Courtney Park one, and has a parking lot to match it. However, finding parking during a popular movie is still tough. So is finding a ticket.
Pro Tip: Always go an hour before the movie (a popular one; past examples: Ted, The Dark Knight Rises, Looper and Man of Steel) and be prepared to stand in a line up. Watching from the front row is NEVER fun.
Food source:
1. Movie grub? Pricy as usual. Additionally there's a Froyo place, Tim Hortons and Pizza Pizza. It's $7.99 for a slice of pizza and pop. Ridonculous, as a medium pepperoni pizza at an outside location costs less than that! I am not sure how the Froyo place and Tim Hortons compare.
2. Ooh! Candy Machines! $2 bucks. The ones at the mall are .25c to a $1, I believe.
3. Pre or Post Movie Grub? There's Kelsey's and then there's Montana's. I'd suggest Kelsey's.
To kill time before le movie:
1. Pre Movie Grub at Kelsey's, preferably.
2. Arcade? Most games are $2.
3. If you or a friend have a Costco membership, go fill up some gas for a few cents cheaper.
4. Craving burgers? There's a Burger King and a Harvey's not too far away.
5. Something else? I think there's a Burrito boys.
6. Have a whole day to kill? There's a LCBO and a Mandarin buffet very close too.
7. Have a girl and a car? Makeout in the parking lot. Nothing's classier than that.
Movie:
1. The theaters are pretty big. I've yet to see a small one in this location. Square One has some small ones.
2. They always have the 3D version of the movie playing as well (if the movie has one). Remember though, not every movie is good 3D, a.k.a. Spiderman. So do your research before you pay more for experience.
3. Cheaper Tuesdays FTW
4. Haven't come across a broken seat yet.
5. Don't try sneaking into a movie you haven't paid for. They almost always catch you. Not that I've tried ;) But I know a few people who have gotten caught before. #yeahright
But, no, seriously. Uncool.
