Tonight Mark and I walked
the 15 blocks to the
Roxy Theatre on 20th Street in Saskatoon. I am ashamed to admit that despite working a block away and being a big fan of the restoration, I had never been there since it reopened (although I did see
Rambo there as a kid). It is really nice inside and it has a lot more atmosphere than the crime against architecture that is the
Galaxy Theatres. It took Mark and I about 40 minutes to walk down and we got our tickets (only $4) and assorted junk food for the movie. The reviews for
Surf's Up were good and we both enjoyed the movie. There has been several articles about how the Galaxy is killing other theatre business in the city so I am making a concentrated effort to support the Roxy this summer and take in some other movies there with Mark. If you haven't checked it out yet, you will definately want to. Mark has already secured some commitments to see
Shrek the Third and
Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer over the next couple of weeks.
