    I love going to this little cinema after a dinner downtown. Very cozy atmosphere, the staff are friendly, and the popcorn is top notch :)

    I love this cinema. When I was a kid, we had a movie theatre in Gananoque that was found inside…read morethe Bell Tower Mall. The theatre did tremendously well. That was until it decided to run "E.T." for a year and a half and went out of business. So, off to Kingston we'd go to see movies. Bit of a hike, but you do what you have to do. One visit back to Gananoque for Christmas or something, we noticed the Boulevard Cinema had opened near the Gananoque waterfront. This movie theatre offers almost-first-run movies, that being films that have been out for maybe a week or two. As such, you have to pay the exorbitant fee of $4.00 per admission. If this is too pricey for you, you can always go on Tuesdays where it's $2.00 to get in. Happy now? Initially the sound was crap in this theatre. The theatres themselves were small and the speakers that were used did nothing to fill the space. So the management set to making the sound work and as a reward for people putting up with shoddy sound, open their doors for free. These guys know how to run local business. Yes the theatres are small, but as such are intimate. And with the newly renovated sound system, the theatre provides astounding value for money. Seriously, four bucks? You can't rent a movie for that. One of the best things about the theatre is Paul the owner, whose weekly movie review column appears in the Gananoque Reporter (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/1000-islands-publishers-ltd-gananoque) as well as on the Boulevard Cinema website itself (http://www.thechequesinthemail.com). And you thought you were opinionated...

    A tarted up shadow of its former self…read more What's left of the original decor is hidden behind countless taped up posters, signs and standing displays - to the point where it looks like a teenager's bedroom or a college dorm. I like movie posters, but you're bombarded with them practically everywhere you look. It's beyond overkill. The actual movie experience on nearly every screen is compromised by the dim projection and because they're mostly in oddly shaped rooms where sightlines take a lower priority to capacity and traffic. Before you watch a movie here, pull up the trailer for that movie on your phone. If the picture on the movie screen is not as bright, sharp and clear as the picture on your phone, there is definitely something wrong. The most common causes are leaving the 3D filter on for non-3D movies, using worn out projector bulbs beyond their expiration date, and running the bulbs at less than full capacity. My guess is all three happen here. The screen wall should be free of distraction, not competing with a ramp to an exit door, especially if that ramp pushes the screen up to an uncomfortable sightline. Worst is #6 where the seats face straight ahead, but the screen is angled oddly to the left. I understand why it was done - a bad choice years ago - but it's no longer necessary, and the result is an awkward asymmetrical sightline. Also, the blue lights on the stairs are 10 times brighter than they need to be. The glare in your eyes increases your chance of tripping, (I did, and the guy in front of me, too). The floor lights reflect on the screen, washing out the picture contrast with a blue glow throughout the movie. Not a premium experience. The main room is very sad. The once beautiful atmospheric sky ceiling shows peeling paint and water damage, the original stage looks like a basement with some kind of pipes or partially dismantled metal framework hanging over the screen. The staff are generally nice except when they're not, seats are comfortable but worn out. Popcorn is pricey but decent. It's bafflling that the theatre got a huge financial grant from the city and instead of repairing the main room and so many other details, they wasted money on things like planters outside. Saving labor by eliminating the box office and selling tickets at the concession stand can stall your access to seating, because you have to wait while everyone in front of you gets their snacks. Asking an unoccupied person behind the counter to pause whatever he's futzing with and sell you a ticket so you can move on gets a curt refusal. I'd like to see this place - and the usually nice folks who work there - succeed and thrive, and I still like the idea of going out to a movie, but for the most part, this place isn't likely to draw me away from the brighter, sharper picture on a halfway decent TV screen, except for an occasional event movie that I'd want to see when it comes out. That will still look much better when it's available to view at home.

    Made a birthday party reservation for today (4/5) two weeks ago. Confirmed the reservation this…read morepast Thursday. My wife showed up today before the movie and they had NO RESERVATION for her. Very stressful moment for her as my son's friends were getting dropped off and there was nothing she could do. Shame that the only theater within 30 miles is run so poorly. Ended up scrambling up to Destiny. Kids had a good time! Won't make that mistake booking Oswego Cinema again...
