| - I will occasionally drop into the Bloor to catch second-run big releases, but most of what I like to see there are special screenings, docos, small festivals and one-off events. Even though they do have a portion of their schedule for the second-run stuff, there's always a reasonable variety of retro screenings, themed programs and other stuff to keep the mix entertaining and to keep me going back.
Physically, the Bloor cinema has its charm, but is a little run down. I suppose this comes with the territory of rep cinemas, so if you can bear with some squeaky chairs and worn fixtures and look past it to the atmosphere, then it's a-ok. Ticket prices are reasonable, especially if you make sure to keep a 'membership' card throughout the year; concession stand has a decent variety, but usually the lineup and prices aren't so worth it to me.
While the Bloor isn't my go-to cinema just for the sake of heading to see a flick, I do keep an eye out for what's going on each month and always enjoy my visits.
