Unruly kids. Any kind of conversation during the movie. Anything that detracts from the movies entertainment value. Hell movie theaters used to have Valets that monitored the event and enforced the general rules for admission. Since the theaters have quit, it was good that streaming came along. Now we can watch new releases without rude interuptions from other people. Actually save money too. So theaters will eventually become a thing of the past. Just like drive in theaters.

4/23/21 When hanging out in Huntington Mall, there were…read moretimes I went to the movie theaters. This theater is one I went to when The Camelot Theater, The Keith Albee Movie Theater and Cinema Theater didn't have the movies I wanted to see. I don't know if they have upgraded the seating, but you might have heard of the term "Down In Front" spoken from time to time. I came to this movie theater once with a friend who did not like Valentine's day mainly because we were both single. Going to this mall or the movies was tricky at times. Mainly because the last bus was around 5 or 6pm. If you missed this bus you either had a car, took a cab back to campus or walked back to school. Still, there were times I chanced watching a movie at the mall. Then I had to rush to the bus station in a hurry. Great times:)

Once upon a time when I was a college student,  I remember studying in my room for a college class…read morecoming up on Monday. My telephone rang and I picked up the phone.  A female started talking to me and it didn't take long to know this was a prank call.   Soon a second voice came on the phone and we ended up talking for a long time. Eventually I ended up meeting both of these ladies at different times.   When I met the second of the two ladies, we met at The Place Theater aka Camelot Theater.    I honestly do not remember what movie I was supposed to see with her, but I know there was a mix up about which movie theater we were supposed to go to.  We did end up meeting again with the other girl on the phone at the same theater again.  I honestly liked hanging out with the more mature girl. She was surprised,  because most guys went with her friend the blonde.  Since The Camelot Theater wasn't really a place to talk a woman when the movie started, it gave me time to think about my questions and how to phrase them.    I never bought popcorn for myself, but I did buy food for the ladies.   It's fun to think that I was in fact part of history...as far as this movie cinema is concerned.  The three movie cinemas I use to go to have all become non existent from the way I remember them. I am glad I had the chance to see them in their former glory. It's a shame this place isn't around anymore.

My 100th review belongs to one of my favorite places. Opening in 1928, the Keith Albee maintains…read moreits historic structure and aesthetic, remaining completely functional and beautiful. Among other events, I grew up with the incredible Huntington Symphony Orchestra, who hosts all their indoor concerts here, as far as I know. Not only is it a gorgeous theater, but it has remarkable acoustics, much better than far larger and newer theaters I've been to for orchestral concerts. I highly recommend sitting in the balcony for an event like this, as sound is absorbed by clothing, so music is much more easily listened to (and watched) from the balcony. The Keith Albee is truly beautiful, and I am so happy it has retained its historic beauty over the years. There is an old fashioned box office, detailed carpeting, and even lovely restrooms. The restrooms include a "lounge" with seating. I was always mesmerized by the lights and details of the theater itself growing up, and still admire them every time I go as an adult. I highly recommend attending an event here if you haven't, especially a music event such as the Huntington Symphony Orchestra. You don't need to be "high class" to come here and feel that you belong. I have always felt at home in my beat-up Converse, no matter what the people around me are wearing. It is probably my favorite place in Huntington, and truly a gem of the city.

I like that the food is partially self-serve because that helps cut down on the wait. My wife and I saw Nope and were super hungry, but didn't want to change the movie time. We ordered their chicken tenders for some 'real food' along with popcorn. They delivered it to us in the theater! The attendant flat out told us that they're frozen and cooked in the super convection oven and I didn't mind that one bit. I'm not expecting gourmet at the movies in the Tri state lol. Fantastic place!

This theater used to be such a nice place to see a movie, but I can't say that anymore…read more The screen is my major concern. There was a giant water stain on the left hand side of the screen. During the darker scenes, it wasn't really noticeable, but could be seen in lighter scenes. Who wants to go to a movie and stair at a stain in the screen? I don't. The sound system also sounds like it could use some updating. It doesn't sound crisp and I noticed that the sound seemed to come mostly from the right side of the screen. The seats are in serious need of replacement. Almost every one of them in the theater I was in has cracks. Some of them had such bad cracks that the foam padding was showing. The ceiling had some times that had obviously broke due to water leaks. I noticed that you can't get refills on pop and popcorn like you can at the other theaters around. I am pretty sure this place is locally owned, and i I usually like to support locally owned businesses, but I cannot recommend that you spend your money here. The other theater in town is so much nicer and clean. If stadium seating is your thing, go to Huntington.
