Went here a couple of weekends ago to try it out. Went to see The Fighter. Movie had been advertised to begin at 9.30pm, but when we got there the first showing wasn't anywhere near over, so we were told to come back after 10pm. Came back at 10pm, and got a good spot to park, loads of spaces to... More
