Editorial Review

This theater, formerly Cineplex Odeon Fair City 6, reopened Aug. 20, 2000, under new management. It now specializes in foreign and independent films.

The theater has a new Dolby SR sound system, three new screens and new high-back seats. Some of the seats have retractable arms to form love seats. Others have tablet arms that can be used as tables across the lap.

The theater's largest house contains 290 seats and a big screen; the 108-seat house has a small screen. The other four theaters range in capacity from 210 to 240. The atypical concessions include hummus, baba ghanoush, gourmet sandwiches, fruit smoothies and more.

I love this place

Posted by opdebeke | Jan 15, 2009 | Mark as Inappropriate

I just hope for an upgrade of the seats someday because you sink into them but I love this place. I love the European style concession area and that the more arty films, usually shown only in DC, are shown here. Shirlington is still the best in selection but this theater is homey, friendly, and usually has a fair number of non big commercial tripe. Too bad it is tucked into such a non charming shopping center. It deserves a more charming setting but the theater itself is great, especially for those looking for the higher quality films. The owner is very sincere and often asks the audience for its opinion on the trailers.

Nice theater - good movies

The movie theater is a lot of fun and shows movies you sometimes can't see anywhere else. I would definetly reccomend it. The snack bar is outstanding with good coffee and sandwitches.
