Presto Electro

I've been seeing a lot of movies lately. I'm not doing it on purpose, but sometimes every single person I know wants me to go see a movie with them, and I never turn down a trip to the movies. Last week I saw a movie almost every single weekday. Fortunately we had a lot of theaters to choose from, so I didn't have to go to the same one over and over again.

Tuesday Night: The Wolfman @ Denton Movie Tavern

On Tuesday night I saw The Wolfman at the Denton Movie Tavern. The movie was hilariously terrible and/or terribly hilarious, but you could probably guess that from the title. The Movie Tavern was great, though. This was my first ever trip to the Movie Tavern, but I've wanted to visit for ages. I'm a big fan of food with my movies, and theater/restaurants (Theatrestaurants?) are pretty much the best way to combine the two. (I am not a big fan of after dinnermovie dishwashing.) I didn't have any food this time (I had a big dinner okay), but the Movie Tavern had a great menu, and a surprisingly cool lobby area. The real advantage to the Denton Movie Tavern is the LUXURIOUS foot-room in-theater. Each row is separated by a long thin dining table, so its almost impossible to accidentally kick the person in front of you in the head/arms.

Wednesday Night: Flow @ The Media Library

The University of North Texas campus isn't a theater in the conventional sense, but it is nevertheless a great place to catch a cool movie or two. A cursory glance at announce.unt.edu reveals everything from thought-provoking documentaries to totally brainless blockbusters. If you live up here, I recommend subscribing to the Arts and Entertainment RSS Feed to remain abreast of the entertainingest bits of UNT. Personally, I'm subscribed to the omni feed that lists every single announcement from everywhere on campus because I love always having something to do.

Thursday Night: Crazy Heart @ Cinemark 14

Ah, Thursday nights at the Cinemark 14… The Cinemark is a totally regular, normal theater. It's clean and nice and the seats are comfy, and everything is well maintained. It doesn't have quite as much personality as the other places, but it does have plenty of screens. It's also a tiny bit out of town. It's only 5 miles from the square, but five miles is a long way when everything you could possibly want is less than three miles away in Denton. On Thursday nights, though, it is definitely worth the drive. Thursday tickets for students are only $3.50! Nice!!! The movie wasn't particularly amazing or anything, but I've only myself to blame for that. I've already seen all the good ones.
