Offering wide leather reclining chairs with no issues, it's a cool theater (as far as I've experienced). Bathrooms are kept clean as well from what I've seen, and the Staff are pleasant (those I've encountered). Located in a shopping plaza, there's, of course, plenty of parking available. This location (for my friends and I) is often our go-to because it's less crowded and we stand to get more times to choose from. It also doesn't hurt that across the parking lot is Marble Slab Creamery, a nice place to grab a sweet treat after the show. Check it out!

Lights, camera, convenience! Cinemark Tinseltown Jacinto…read moreCity has been my go-to theater for years. It's right off I-10 and not far from the Washburn Tunnel, making it an easy and strategic stop--especially for cheap matinees when I'm trying to dodge traffic I've even timed appointments at the Discount Tire next door so I can catch a movie while my car gets worked on. Pro tip: make an afternoon of it with a happy hour stop at Chili's in the same plaza before your show--apps, a margarita, then a short walk to the theater? Yes, please. This theater knows its audience. They regularly feature Spanish-language films, anime, and more alternative or niche flicks you don't always see at big chains. It's a small but meaningful sign that they're paying attention to the community they serve, and I respect that. Inside, it's mostly clean and has been upgraded with recliner seating, which at this point is a must. Last visit, they didn't have Snow Caps (devastating, I know), but they do offer self-serve butter and little popcorn salt cups so you can fine-tune your snack game throughout the film--love that detail. Overall, it's a laid-back, affordable, and surprisingly thoughtful place to catch a movie, whether you're here for the blockbusters or something a little off the beaten path.

Tickets were on the pricier end especially since it was a Thursday night, but not a big deal. The workers were friendly, and the seats were EXTREMELY comfortable & cushy... I still think about them to this day... I also thought it was nice how movie viewers could order food and the workers would come serve it on a platter! I'm not too familiar with any deals or memberships that the River Oaks Theatre may have compared to its big name competitors, but I highly recommend everyone to experience a film here at least once! Also there is ample parking nearby, but can't speak on it too much since I was dropped off.

I have removed 1 star due to the unfortunate experience I had via their expensive hotdog. This is a warning to everyone here.. the banh mi hotdog tastes like a**. omgagod... it literally tastes like evil. I have never had anything like it, and I've eaten at dozens of Vietnamese restaurants in my life. It's not only the pickled veggies on it that seemed to have marinated in something really awful, but it's the weird smoked? flavor given to the hotdog. I considered sending it back but opted to just make the best of the movie. Do you like the hotdog? If so I'd like you to post an opposing review because I can't imagine someone enjoying it. And since I am here... I get the gratuity is included but the wait staff never came back to clear dishes, and maybe it's because they will only come if you press the button? If that's the case it was not communicated to us, and when the wait staff went by us to serve our neighbors maybe it would be a good practice to check in quickly with other people in the row while they're there? That's it. Will return. Will never order hot dog again.

But when you think IMAX you think of those cheesy nature videos, but that is not the case anymore, the Wortham IMAX plays recent movies too. I came here to watch Harry Potter. I must admit it's a different type of crowd, a much more mature crowd, and the children that do come are more well behaved or with their parents. They are not free to roam like at the other theaters. Not a bite any parenting...but I'm JUS SAYIN'! Plus after the movie you can check out the museum!

The lot close to the theater was $18 and the one we found which was a block away was $12. The theater is spacious and the concession stand is located in a good spot. There are also many restroom stalls, but the smell was terrible and the bathrooms were not clean. It was very hard to stay inside. The seating was pretty comfortable and spacious with good leg room and the area was clean. The screening was good, with good clarity and sound.

How much do we have to spend to get the A/C turned on?!…read more I went this past Sunday to see the Devil Wears Prada 2 (for the second time; first time I saw it at iPic). Tickets are cheap: $30 each. Wine was a rip-off at $20 a glass for table wine (cocktails at iPic are $10). We ordered two glasses without realizing it'd be $40. The bartender had already pour our glasses before we could change our mind (and wish she would have alerted us that for $10 more we could have purchased the entire bottle... So almost $100 later, we are in theater 7 where it was stuffy and hot as hell; people were sweating. I had my jeans rolled up to my knees and eventually went to the concession stand for cups of ice water and they gave me cardboard boxes to serve as a fan. That's just ridic. Def can't blame the staff because they're mostly teens. But management, corporate, and even Nicole Kidman--take notice and fix this stat. For now, we're just gonna go to iPic because you spend about the same amount and for a much more enjoyable movie experience.

There was concession stand with popcorn and candy, and sodas. It was very well maintained by the organizers. The hall itself is brilliant. Has a picnic'y, fun, open air vibe to it. The seating can be on the pre-set cushioned stairs, or on the special chairs close to the screen. Unique looking comfy individual sofa, these got full quickly so could not sit and try.... The audience was from all walks with kids, families, students, and probably the couple beside me were on a date .... basically multipurpose crowd, to get their burden off for the day and put their feet up ( literally!) and watch a family movie - it was nice. Its not exactly a theater so the lights remain on but thats ok, there were tiny tots running around so the lights on was more essential than not. Lovely and laid back. I hesitated to write about it lest it get full during the next event , but then I figured, it is in such a centric place, it WiLL get full eventuality, might as well write and get my first review badge .... Lol Looking forward to attend more events.

The screen itself is huge and the audio works by hooking up to a radio station in your car. We showed up about 10 minutes before the movie and I do wish we had gotten there sooner to get a better spot, but we still were able to see the screen clearly from the back. The space itself is quite small and the lot isn't paved so you are driving through some bumps and grass to park. They have several people standing in the lot to guide you in the dark and let you know where you can or cannot park. I didn't check out the concessions just because it seemed pricey (just like every movie concessions) but it seemed like they had a small variety of things for you to grab. The location itself is in east downtown so you could grab dinner and head over quite quickly! On Saturdays, they have a double feature so they show two films back to back for the price of one which is exciting.

We got there 20 minutes till showtime, and it was full and unfortunately had to park in the front row. We were sitting in the trunk and unfortunately a little bit of the screen was covered if we were laying down. They do have concession stands if you want to buy food there and porta potties available. If your car battery dies, they are able to jump start it which is super convenient. Be careful with your tires as you'll be driving through some gravel. It is in a bit of a sketchy part of town and the roads leading up to it aren't fully developed. Beware of lots of potholes! Ticket prices are $35 per car. Check it out online to see what movies are available. Such a fun summertime activity!

The ambiance, setting and stories were wrong for the event as it was coined. If you want to play hip hop or 80's music change the description of the event. I attended a night with Dracula at the Polk theatre in Lakeland... and this event was spot on! I do not know if this is the same company, however I did notice that one of the actors was the same and he was actually the best actor there! P.s.... Give a theme people can dress up too. It creates a more memorable adventure! And... say dress to impress. It might help people that love to fish keep that shirt on the hanger till they take out the boat!

I was thinking speakeasy, dark, smokey, tables set with candles, nope. White glossy chairs were set up in a fashion that channeled a wedding, sun streaming in, high vaulted ceiling, room painted white, you get it.. I couldn't get in to it. The first cocktail was a blueberry lemon thing. 0 flavor, 1% booze. Pretty much all the cocktails were anemic. The 3rd was awful. Looked like grape Kool-aid & tasted like lemon juice. I skipped the last one. The "troupe" recited 4 short stories by Poe. The energy was up but there was too much schtick, it was not entertaining. Overall, I would suggest avoiding The Haunted Tavern. It will not be $50 well spent.

And for the non-conformist in you, some of their films are more small-time and obscure than what you'd find at the MFA. They're hosting a few different film festivals this year, including an Asian film festival and a Latin American film festival. And they sometimes host Q and A's with the filmmakers, which brings alot of energy to the screenings. Obviously, it comes with the inherent pitfall of any art film venue.. you can see some real stinkers there. But another day, you'll catch something cool and memorable that you would never have seen anywhere else. There are a few cons: First and foremost, it's CASH ONLY and there isn't a convenient ATM nearby. Second, parking is confusing since it's on the Rice campus. And finally, there's no concession stand. The film calendar on their website is well-kept now, and is updated regularly. http://film.rice.edu/Events.aspx

I wish I could go more often but they always choose good ones and have good speaker panels. I've also been to other documentaries that I'm not even sure how I have heard about?? Nonetheless I'm glad I have friends that keep me in the loop. I guess this should be more a revue for the venue since so many organizations use it to screen moview and hold discussions. It's really great that Rice can open this up to the public and it provides adequate space and comfortable seating and format for a variety of different events. It's never been too crowded, the screen is large and clear, good sound, fomfortable seats. Behind the theater there is a large common space for pre-or post movie mingling, eating and drinking. Tip: it's super easy to find free parking across University in the neighborhood and walk over!
