I hope that anyone who goes to the movies further up on court and state street read this. cobble hill cinema is the last good place to watch a movie in brooklyn that half the audience isn't yelling at the screen during the film.

Bam's theater is pretty great as well, I remember when the Cobble Hill theater was "the Rex", and was only 2 theaters..

The audience is not yelling at the screen because instead they are cursing the uncomfortable seats.

The Cobble Hill theatre is the anti-multiplex: screens that are underlit, projectors that don't work, and projectionists who can't seem to screen the pictures correctly. Not to mention the seats.

Of course, they have the same surly staff as the multiplex, so they are even there.

10:09 you are wrong.

BAM cinemas is terrific.
PAVILION is nice too.
And the place on Henry Street in the Heights is great.

Cool picture.

BAM is great. Go to BAM

BAM costs $11 to get in. That's crazy. I can go to Cobble Hill and see the same movies for $6.

BAM is great for extremely limited release films or replays of classics best seen on the big screen (such as '2001'). Otherwise, for movies like "There Will Be Blood", you're being overchared, IMO.

12:36, are you for real? Asshat!

Posted by: guest at February 25, 2008 8:33 PM

Am I the only one who hates going to the Pavilion? It's filthy, the seats are in rough shape and people are rude.

"Am I the only one who hates going to the Pavilion?"

Yes. Now stop yelling at the screen.
