Though this is a smaller type theater in a small town, it definitely holds it's own. Ticket/Snack/Drink/Etc. prices are reasonable, and the place is very clean. There is always a good selection of movies playing. Staff is generally friendly & accommodating; wait times are often short when you're in a line there.

The only negative, is that this cinema is a popular place for the local teens to hang out, especially on the week-ends(like Friday & Saturday). Often times it appears that these teens are more there for socialization, playing with their cell phones, catching up on the latest gossip and my personal favorite...playing several rounds of "Musical Chairs" than anything. This might be okay for some, but for most it is quite a distraction; they find it hard to see the screen while all the rounds of "Musical Chairs" are going on, it's hard to hear what the movie characters are saying to each other when the "Lead Gossip Queen" gets a little too excited; the majority again tend to find themselves more than a little distracted when 5 or so cellular phones start ringing simultaneously but with different ring-tones; the next thing you discover is that your theater room, which is suppossed to be, as well as always expected to be...dark, is now all 'a-glow....Oh yeah, that's right, that would be all of the cellular telephones being opened to 'chat' on, text on or do Lord knows what else on.

However, none of any of that annoying stuff I just mentioned bothers me as much as something else that I didn't, but am going to now.....What bothered me the most out of each different experience that I had like this, was the fact that the teens were oblivious to the fact that the already small theater was seating more people than just them and their friends. Some other types of folks may say, "let it go...they're just kids"; but I say, "No; they can go; I didn't pay $8 to come in here and watch an almost 2 hour preview of "Teens With No Manners"..."Society's Worst Nightmare"; I don't care if it does come with all these nice little extra added features such as "3-D" & "Meet The Cast".....I came here and paid my $8 to watch "Marmaduke", darn it! The bottom line....This is a super-great theater, but best avoided on busy week-end nights; you can always go and complain if you ever do find yourself in "Society's Worst Nightmare"...the staff are usually good at putting a stop to them and their tactics. ~~God bless!~~
