Our 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.

my favorite

Posted by rash67 | Apr 05, 2013 | Mark as Inappropriate

My favorite theater. Good movies, good taste in selecting which movies they show. The huge tub of popcorn cost $4 and they have REAL melted BUTTER to put on top, not some greasy chemical with plastic butter flavor. They also have Toblerone chocolate. A Class operation, even if it is 30 years old and some seats are beat up. I love this place. Oh, also, consistently lower price for movies, movies that appeal to adults. No 3D trash! What a neighborhood theater should be.

The Little Theatre that could!

No pretense, just good films. The theaters are old, some seats are beat up, and there are often ladders and boxes stored in the shadows. However, the films, the staff and the management are the best examples of the "Movie Art-house" - small venues, nice selection of films and food. It will become the theater you visit most often, and feel good in doing so.
