Movie Theaters

Let The Right One In
Be aware those with ADD- it is a slow paced movie. Not your typical Hollywood film that has to have a climax. This story is just that, a story between the main characters just living their lives. Oh, and there's vampires. I do not know what the hype about Twilight is, but this one has it beat no contest.

My first time watching a movie at the Angelika and as different as it is, I am slightly disappointed. Maybe some people like hearing the projector while watching a movie, or sitting in a long narrow theater that is not too inclined, and paying the same price as any other Manhattan cineplex. I don't. If it had the feel of Village East Cinema, I would cut it some slack, but instead it reminds me of the cheap theater closest to where I grew up. You know, the one with lots of kids, can sneak into other movies and your shoes come out with a brand new bottom. What I can say positively about this place, which does matter immensely, is the company. Even as you walk past the line forming to buy tickets outside (there are 3 machines to buy by credit card inside, by the way) you can already see that the people going to this theater are the respectable kind. During the whole movie, I did not hear anybody talk or any phones go off. I don't even remember anybody getting up to go to the bathroom. And as cliche as it can get, there was clapping when the movie ended.
