Art House and big run flicks in a newly rennovated intimiate space. Seriously the seats are better than the best Laz-y-boy recliner you could imagine. Purchase tickets online for first few screenings of any big runs or on the weekend. Tip: Tuesday matinees are $5.75 and any flick before 6 is $7.00.
