Livingroom Theaters

Taking a walk up tenth avenue past Powell's bookstores, I stumbled upon a little treasure, a small seven movie theater complex showing independent films of great works of history, classic literature and some of today's social culture. Imagine coming in from a hard days work and selecting a movie, getting the ticket, follow up with fries with ketchup with a bottle of wine and relax on a recliner eating, drinking and relaxing as the world moves by. Whether it's movie show like "Wakefield","The Beguiled", "Divine Order", it's always about some interesting aspect of real life. A little unique compared to what is shown in mainstream theaters. ie "Cool place for a movie night out. Big, comfortable chairs with lots of leg room in an intimate size theatre where all seats are good. Although I do not prefer the up-front rows which are too close to the screen for me. Excellent screen resolution with a great sound and the theatre will rock you as you sit back with some good eats, wine and beer. Been here many times and it is always one of my "Fav" movie theatre.

We saw Battle of the Sexes which follows the events of a true story of Bobby Riggs (gambler and former pro tennis player) calling out Billie Jean King (super pro tennis player) into an exhibition match "Men vs. Woman"in 1973. I remember the hype leading up to the match. Riggs said "the best way to handle women is to keep them pregnant and barefoot." Who wins the match in front of 30,000 fans at the Houston Astrodome? Go see a very compelling and entertaining movie with a cast of stars.  Great movie to catch in the Living Room.

You can pick your seats and order tickets on line. Show up a few minutes before show time to line up for treats and drinks, then walk in and find your reserved seats. Come early and chill at the Living Room bar. Cool!" " I watched a movie here one night since I was traveling alone, and it was so fun! I got there in time for happy hour and had a glass of wine and a small bowl of popcorn. Everyone was super friendly and it really does feel like you're watching a movie in your living room...but much bigger and with nicer chairs!" ~Yelp Reviews. So get on down before your favorite movie passes by.
