We adored Movies With A View! We were hanging out in DUMBO and decided to collect treats at Jacques Torres' before heading to the park to watch sunset. It wasn't our plan to stay long. But with the skyline of Manhattan as the backdrop while you are watching a movie and having a picnic, who could resist? There was also entertainment before the movie. They played "Blues Brothers" that evening and John Belushi was great of course. But it really didn't matter to us which movie they picked. We would still have enjoyed it. There was just something magical in the air. Everybody was happy and having a good time. What a nice social event for anyone and it's free!

During the summer months there are free movie screenings at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Not only is it "free" it's got huge screen and a million dollar view of the Manhattan skyline. Bring your family, friends, or your date and enjoy the movie that is being played. Movies with a view is better than any theatre you been to and you save on movie tickets. Bring a blanket enough for your party and bring food & drinks. People even bring wine and wine glasses so get comfortable. There are vendors selling popcorn, ice cream, etc. Movies with a view is worth attending to spend a summer day. You have to get there early to claim a spot on the grass. Only downside is, it can get way too crowded.

Ghostbusters in July!

I have seriously considered moving to Brooklyn after I first attended this event a couple of years ago. I have already gone twice in 2011. This, to me, is what makes NYC such a great place to live. Any city boasts bars and even restaurants; but a beautiful picnic and a movie on the big screen overlooking the city and the Brooklyn Bridge is what makes this city standout! [Plus, you already pay for things like this due to the absurdly high rent and city tax, so you may as well take advantage of all these "free" events]

Updated review: Still not a fan of the personal bag check, but I'm bumping up my rating thanks to…read moresome clear upgrades since my last review. The electric recliners with built-in trays are seriously comfortable, and the theater is consistently clean and far less chaotic than most Manhattan spots. The screen and sound pack a punch, and the location--tucked into a newly energized corner of Battery Park City--makes it easy to pair your movie with a great meal or drink nearby. That said, finding the place is its own mini-quest. You have to weave through the Conrad Hotel and ride what feels like a pilgrimage of escalators (especially when the elevators are down... which is often). Overall, a solid movie night once you actually get there.

I kind of do miss being a regular in this area and also a sometime regular to this theater. The…read moreBattery Park area was not as accessible right after 9/11 but I am not sure if the average customer does come from very far distances to come here. The seating has always been pretty nice , to me much nicer than most AMC theaters except maybe Dolby. This does seem like a premier seating experience at least sometimes, it does. The theater has always been a good time with friendly staff and nice looking theaters but union square and Times Square regular are closer and more regular options for me. I look forward to actually coming back here soon though, hopefully an early 2026 visit once the calendar does change this time.

When he checked our tickets, he surprised us with an upgrade that truly enhanced our evening. After the movie, we expressed our gratitude and were deeply impressed by his professional and humble demeanor. Travis also took the time to tell us about special events at the Speakeasy and even allowed us to take some photos. His exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will certainly make IPIC our primary theater moving forward.

I went to iPic with my cousin to see The Devil Wears Prada 2. I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse, but…read morewe decided to try something new--and unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing experience. The staff came across as nonchalant and not very engaged, which set the tone right away. The food didn't help either--the spicy tuna was completely flavorless, not crispy and the drinks were underwhelming. We also weren't told ahead of time that you have to pick up your food and drinks yourself, which was surprising since we're used to full service at your seat. On the positive side, the popcorn and truffle fries were decent, but everything else fell short. The seats were just okay--not particularly comfortable. The bathroom situation was also frustrating--it's located upstairs near the restaurant and wasn't well maintained. There were no paper towels, and overall cleanliness was lacking. Overall, this felt like a subpar experience, and I won't be returning. My cousin mentioned the New Jersey location is much better, so maybe it's just this one--but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it.

The AMC and Regal are nice, but sometimes an independent movie theatre brings charm to the…read moreexperience that a chain can't. Perks of going to the Roxy for a movie are enjoying the live music in the lobby beforehand, no movie trailers, and the opportunity to watch movies on film. In exchange for the vintage theatre atmosphere your seats don't recline and aren't as spacious or plush as an AMC seat. Independent theatre are more selective about the films they show and usually screen independent films instead of blockbusters. All things considered I think the small sacrifices are worth it to enjoy the experience and I will be coming back! The Roxy Theatre also holds events where they interview filmmakers and is available to rent out for private screenings. For the popcorn fiends, Popcorn is $7 for a small and $10 for a large.

The Roxy Theater is one of my favorite screening rooms in the City. A single-screen theater, it is…read morequite a small and intimate space. It's ideal for the type of films shown there, which are usually indies or foreign films (but anything can pop up). I come here now and again and this time around it was to see the Japanese comedy/horror 'Hot Springs Shark Attack', which was a lot of laughs. To get to the theater you need to walk through a portion of the hotel and head downstairs. It's next to the Django Jazz Club, which is also a great venue. It's a very nice environment, I think. Kind of elegant. If you see a film playing here that interests you, I would definitely encourage you to go. You'll like the vibe, I am sure.

(Click on my Substack for more Baumbach thoughts including my brief interaction with the auteur, as awkward as many of his finest scenes). You may have heard about the successful company that helped destroy movie theaters by pivoting to "content" meant to promote purchases of high-end TVs and nice couches. (Related, I went to Best Buy and didn't recognize anything. Is that a thermostat? A stereo? A smart garden hose?) This company was so successful, that after Knives Out was heralded as single-handedly reviving non-Marvel film, its sequel was withheld from the theaters it allegedly saved. (BTW, if you were planning to tell me to watch the amazing 53-part Quibi streaming series about The Golden Age Of Hollywood, don't bother). But after Netflix helped destroy theaters, it did a nice thing. It's one of those ironic moments like the purse-snatcher scene in Jay Kelly. It signed a lease that helped the Paris avoid the fate of the Ziegfeld and a million others, in a world where the AMC theaters that destroyed all the independents have been suffering themselves. So, while it was vile that Netflix thought Roma should be seen on TVs, it was nice of them to show it at the Paris, especially for the unusually vibrant sound. I saw Train Dreams Saturday. I suppose, like the kid in Squid and The Whale, I am a philistine. I wish I could praise its morose existentialism but I'm not quite on board. However, I did appreciate the majesty of the northwestern fires and falling trees in this venue. There was no assigned seating; not sure if this is just temporary, but if they keep that policy I might be obliged to overlook Netflix's evil and upgrade to 5 stars.
