I visited the old Metro theater many times before the new management. However I always ran into scheduling bumps with the current releases. Films would come and go from week to week (Mirrormask, Elle Parker) while others would run for 3-4 weeks and make the cinema seem like it only kept the same features.
Recently I had scheduled to go see a film, in mid-November, but the theater was being rented out for a film shoot.
Nearby construction really negatively impacted this theater. Going to a screening during the day… with jackhammers pounding next door… not particularly enjoyable.
I really hope someone picks up the theater. I think the combination of a handful of mainstream shows + selective independent films will make this a great theater again.
The concessions facilities were excellent and the staff was also pretty pleasant so I hope those folks land on their feet.
