Anyone who has been to this theater would shudder at a four star rating. It is smelly, sticky, noisy, potentially dangerous(there have been some parking lot incidents) and most of all CHEAP!! They show new movies about two weeks after they come out at real theaters, but for the low price of anywhere from a dollar to 50 cents on some nights.
The p-corn is usually pretty buttery and artery clogging. The crowd is crazy and eclectic. The reason most people would denounce this place is what endears it to me. It's not faux rowdy and smelly like some hipster bars. It actually IS rowdy and smelly! I've never had a bad time here.
Seeing Johnny Depp's The Libertine here was too appropriate. A movie about a syphilitic drunk who self destructs in the muck and disease of old timey London. They should have called it The Cinemarkian.
