Landmark Theatres

Assigned seating for shows helps set this theater stand out

by jenheidir at Citysearch

This Landmark elevates movie-going to a whole new level, and I?m not just talking about the gourmet candies and pizza being offered among the items at the snack counter. You have to get to your movie early if you want to get a good spot to watch the movie from as seats in the theaters are assigned. One big plus about Landmark though is that parking is free in the mall lot. If your looking to see any of the latest indie or foreign film releases, this is definitely a theater you should check out. The seats are comfy, the sound systems are good and it?s definitely worth the trip just for those dark chocolate-covered raisins at the snack stand. Tickets are expensive ($12 on a weekday night), but they are at any movie theater these days.

Comfy Seats, Cool Concessions

by jhoolko at Citysearch

Even though the ticket prices are kinda steep, I figure the experience of this theatre is worth an extra buck or two, especially considering the fact that parking is free. Offering a good selection of mainstream and arthouse features, the Landmark makes for a really unique movie experience. Get there early--twice I've arrived only to find that the smaller-than-usual theatres had sold out. Plus, while you wait you can peruse through the Barnes and Noble that is virtually in the lobby or have a drink at the in-theatre bar, and since seats are reserved you don't have to worry about going in early and fighting for a place to sit. Some showings are 21+ and you can bring alcohol in, while others are shown in the "living room" where movie-goers sit on couches, something I regrettably have yet to experience. But the regular chairs are comfy enough, and all the screens offer something above and beyond the typical movie house options. Even the concessions are beyond deluxe--Peet's coffe, gourmet candy, and pizzas at the bar are a few of the options. Bring a sweater, too, it can get a little chilly in there.

• Pros: Free parking, great decor, tons of food and drink and pre-movie entertaintment.
• Cons: No student discounts!

GREAT PLACE TO SEE A MOVIE! ENJOY THE LIVING ROOM THEATRE!

by shelly1234 at Citysearch

Boy, were we surprised to see a movie and sit on a living room couch. People even brought blankets! I recommend you use the kiosk and order your tickets there. Remember you will need to also pick your seats as it is "assigned seating". Arrive a few minutes before the movie and have a drink at the bar! Barnes and Noble is next door as well as the Westside Pavillion. Lots to do and see!
