I watched A24's Tony at the AMC Mountainside last night. In retrospect, it seemed appropriate to…read moresee this biopic set in the 70s here because the theater is older. Like it's a time warp. The seats are roomy, but they aren't the modern recliners at other AMCs. It's true from the other reviews, the seats are like weird, red rocking chairs. The ticket collector and the woman at the concession stand were cool - friendly and kept things moving. I was surprised to see a police officer standing/stationed by theaters 5-10. The place seemed not packed at all. But then I entered the theater right when a grown man was shouting at the screen for the previews to end - "Play the #@! movie already!" And that's the moment I realized why perhaps backup is needed at this AMC. Overall, a fine movie watching experience.

The theaters are currently swarmed now with Wicked drones (the proletariat indoctrinated with marketing brainwashing) - even saw a pair dressed like the two lead simps. Witches buy popcorn. When I entered my non-Bewitched theater early, I joked to another of the few patrons there in the empty Nuremberg theater "why didn't you come dressed as Görring?" This went over better than my joke to the concession drones, asking if they're seeing a lot of brawls in the Wicked-screenings. Blank dumbfounded stares. Doesn't anyone remember laughter? So: two minor complaints at this evening's prematurely ended evening for my "free" ish flick: 1) A bossy short Dad and his son came and I was sitting in one of their seats - it was early. I cheerily explained I didn't wanted to crowd the person next to me but now I'd move. No big deal. That was until short stuff sternly ordered me to get up. "Get up!" 30 minutes before the film in a half empty theater as I was being unjustifiable polite. I said something lighthearted in response to the Sultan's Command and there were no problems - until after the homunculus sat down and then proceeded to pull up his furry bare stinky feet yogi style into his lap to do what any decent civilized man would do at any movie theater in front of his child and strangers: he began to pick his filthy feet. 2) After I got that bestial grooming tactic out of my mind after twenty minutes of ignoring it in my peripheral vision, then on the other side of me I heard the familiar "sppporitzzzclick" of a Good Ole Boy crackin' up a cold one. This is doubtless illegal - at first I ignored it but after his second beer gassed up the area to a dive bar level stench miasma, I left the theater early. I wondered as I escaped the Hollywood whitewash flick (I was buying Russell Cow's twinkling eyes), whether Mountainside staff would have done a thing if I had reported the primitivist or the drunks. It's why I typically only attend movies that are sparsely populated by the Great Unwashed. Jean Paul Satre said it about - that quote about what other people are.

They've gone up, but so has everywhere and everything else these days. Still, a good experience. The leather, heated, reclining chairs are the best part.

That's the best and only way to avoid unnecessary additional transaction fees when you purchase online via their website.

Before the invention of 15 movie multi-plexes featuring stylized lobbies, stadium seating,…read moresuper-sized reclining chairs, and full menus, we all went to cinemas like The Cranford Theater. The concession stand sells popcorn, candy, and soda. The seats are small and squeak when you shift position. The rows don't have enough room between them for you to squeeze past seated patrons without banging against their knees. The bathrooms look exactly like the bathrooms in a typical 1970s grammar school. I saw another Yelp reviewer observed that no one under age 50 comes here, and I noticed that too. If the only movie theaters you've been to were built this century, then an old cinema like this one would be a shock. I doubt anyone born since 1990 would tolerate sitting for three hours in this dated theater. Parking is a problem. We parked on the street a few blocks away and walked because the tiny lot in front of the movie theater was already full, even though we were about 20 minutes early. Despite being an old theater, the actual sound and screen projection of the movie is fine. This cinema does get the latest releases and shows them at convenient times, including matinees. It's got a prime location downtown within walking distance of many places to buy food and drinks. Look for discount ticket prices on certain days and times.

It only takes me about 20 minutes to get there from Elizabeth and there's always ample parking (though on days with a big movie opening you may have to walk a bit across the lot). This place may be over ten years old, but the owners have kept it clean and the structure is not deteriorating. Even the exterior looks like they clean it every now and then! The theater has made some changes over time. They now sell merchandise including plushes, keychains, t-shirts and of course the very popular "buckets" that various movies are putting out. This location also tends to give out merch with certain premieres (ex: for "Transformers One" they gave out a free comic book). They also have Freestyle Coke machines which allow you to create drink mixtures (which I really enjoy doing). AMC has also changed one of its theaters into a Dolby Theater with plush, reclining leather seats and a large screen with a wonderful sound system that is fantastic! The staff at this location rotates quite a bit so it's hard to make a general statement that the staff is great, but what I will say is that whatever training they're doing it's being done well because the staff is always helpful and they deserve kudos for that. I'm really glad this theater's quality has not dropped. If you're in the area and want to see a flick, this is a great place to do it.

My go-to items are the bone-in buffalo wings with ranch, the chicken quesadilla, the burgers, and honestly any of their pizzas, they're all solid choices. They offer both 3D movies and regular showings with recliner seats, which makes the experience really comfortable. I do wish they had a Dolby Cinema option, and IMAX would be a nice addition too, but this theater still does the job for all the movies I want to see.

It was a nice sized theater although my companion who was seeing a separate film at the same time had his theater changed on him without notice and it was into a much smaller room, so staff ended up handing out free ticket comps to patrons in that theater. The front desk was not in use. Instead, a sign was placed directing your to place your ticket orders at the concession stand. As it was early, not much was started and honestly, it was a bit bare. The fountain machines were not working. I will say however that they fried up some hot, delicious chicken wings. It was better than I ever expected and it was fresh. Bathrooms were clean as the theater had just opened. Staff was nice enough. I would bring my family here for an early show to avoid having to hike it over to AMC Jersey Gardens. It's not my first choice, but it would do because of how easy it is to get here.

It's been just over a year since our last visit and my last review and I am happy to report I still…read morelove this place SO much. Unlike our last visit, it wasn't the most ideal of weather, but we already purchased the tickets so we still made the drive up. Even on a rainy, chilly night, it was a great experience. Instead of setting up in the bed of our pick up, we just stayed in our car and had a perfectly cozy movie experience. We used our radio for the first flick, but decided to just rent a radio (for $5) for the second so we didn't have to leave the car on. My hot tip is to show up with enough time to get set up and situated. Whether that means lawn chairs and blankets, or setting up in the trunk of your hatchback, getting cozy is your #1 priority here people! A few updates from last year: -They take card now! It made renting the radio and ordering food very easy. -The app is no longer needed. You can go right up to the window to order, but leave time before the movie starts because it takes a while. This is a perfect night for any season and I can't wait to go back.

They are season ticket holders so they get a deal on tickets. I would highly suggest seeing if you qualify for any discounted tickets since they seem to have a number of programs set up (I once got $30 tickets before being younger than 30 years old). They have a close parking lot that you can pay for but we walked from a public lot not too far away. It's a zoo with people existing by foot/ cars trying to leave the lots so just know it may take a bit of time for that short walk if you use one of their lots. They have a little concession counter that you can buy snacks at as well as bathrooms available though we didn't use either. The play itself was spectacular. The entire cast is talented- acting, singing, and dancing were top notch. The sets were well thought out and the music was unbelievable. I love that we have an incredible play house right in our backyard here in NJ! We will definitely be returning!

I just attended the mattered of West Side Story. Excellent! What an amazing production…read more The theatre is located in Milburn, NJ. There are several parking lots and a nearby train station plus a public bus which make this playhouse accessible via a variety of transportation. (The nearest lots fill up fast, so plan your arrival time.) The parking fee is $12 if you use any of the theatre's lots. There was (as is expected) a long entry line. More staff is needed to move the line along more quickly. The elderly and those with mobility challenges were allowed to bypass the long line and gain immediate entry. The lobby sells snacks and drinks that can be purchased before the show or during intermission. There are ushers to help you find your seats and a very friendly young man helped me at the souvenir counter. The lighting and acoustics appeared modern in my limited opinion. The feel of the auditorium was that of the traditional theatre setting with the rich burgundy drapery and snug plush seats. There is an odd pitch to the floor which makes walking to orchestra seating a little awkward because of the slant. So keep this in mind if you are a little shaky on your feet. I have a delightful experience here and I hope to return for future productions.
