What’s Special About Seeing A Movie At The Loew’s? The Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre is one of America’s grandest surviving Movie Palaces. We show movies the way they were meant to be seen: in a grandly ornate setting — on our BIG 50 ft wide screen! The Loew’s runs reel-to-reel, not platter, projection, which often allows us to screen an archival or studio vault print that is the best available copy of a movie title.
The Loew’s Jersey is managed by Friends of the Loew’s, Inc. as a non-profit, multi-discipline performing arts center.

Four famous Classical Noir Films were played at the theater of Loew’s Jersey. It was hosted by Foster Hirsch who is a Professor of Film at Brooklyn College and author of sixteen books related to the movies and theatre such as THE DARK SIDE OF THE SCREEN: FILM NOIR and OTTO PREMINGER: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. However, I actually want to read the reviews of https://www.australianessays.org/ but here i must say that website contained good information about films.
