The Guild Cinema is not only a great place to see a variety of movies that you have heard about or seen previously, but it is also a fairly safe gamble for those with the desire to see something they've never seen or something they've heard very little about prior.
Over the past twenty years I have been to The Guild numerous times, and had a positive experience on every single occasion. I don't always enjoy the movie being screened, but I havr never had anything but positive experiences at the location and positive interaction with the staff.
The cost for a movie at The Guild is surprisingly inexpensive, especially for students. One might think that low ticket prices must be subsidized by ridiculous snack prices. While the snacks are less cost effective than a convenience store, they are still far lower than any other movie theater in town.
If you're looking to burn a few hours watching a movie you may not understand, or perhaps asks you to think a bit harder than an Andy Cohen produced television show, then you are likely to be satisfied with a visit to The Guild.
The only warning I would have is that on occasion The Guild screens locally written/created "movies". While I tip my hat to The Guild for supporting local artistic endeavors, I suggest you find another night to check out the business. Often the house is filled with friends and family of the writer/director, who can be quite obnoxious and disturbing throughout the screening. Not to mention that often someone from the creative team, usually an overweight, curly headed, 40 year old, male, director with self-esteem issues that can only be held at bay by casting young women from the university that will praise him, smile at him, and stroke his shriveled ego, because they don't know any better, will be spouting nonsense about his process which really just boils down to the fact that he no longer feels anything valuable about his life, which is only exacerbated by the fact that his unattractive wife, who he settled for, no longer has any kind of love or devotion to give him. To be fair, she's also suffering from a lifetime of settling due to failing miserably at her own inadequate creative endeavors. read more
