Just wanted to let everyone know that our review of the Regal Fenway 13 is now up on our website. It’s the first in a series of reviews focusing on Boston-area theaters we’ve never been to before. We found it to be a pleasant and enjoyable experience, although the fact that the giant AMC sign is still up nearly a year after Regal took over was interesting…

Just wanted to let everyone know that our review of the Regal Fenway 13 is up on our website, part of our Summer Tour to Boston-area theaters we’ve never visited before. We found it to be a rather pleasant and accomodating place. Although I was a bit surprised to see that the giant AMC signage is STILL in place nearly a year after Regal took over…

I’m curious and I don’t know where else to put this so I will put it here since it concerns Everett.
As we drive down Broadway (rt 99) coming from Revere and heading towards downtown Everett and on to Boston, we have noticed a butcher shop on the right side of the road. The signage seems to indicate that the building may have been a small multiplex at one time or another because it has (or used to have, it’s been a couple years since we’ve been by it) a large “1”, a large “2”, and a large “3” painted over on the lighted sign.
The building is before you hit the true downtown area of Everett, but I don’t remember exactly where but Mapquest puts a McKinnons Butcher Shop at 620 Broadway, so this is likely the place. Does any one remember a cinema at that location?
Say what you will about Copley Place, but my wife and I miss it. It was nice to be able to pop down from our jobs upstairs in the Copley Office towers and see a movie on one or two occasions before heading home. We saw movies that no one else in Boston was running – even the Kendall Square, where all the small and eclectic movies usually go – and the theaters weren’t great, but they were intimate and enjoyable. We saw Zatoichi there, and Kim saw Die Mommie Die there…where else could you see those in Boston?
The staff was also the friendliest of all the theaters in Boston that we’ve been to. You could even just drop into the Snack Bar when they were open and buy stuff – they didn’t mind you weren’t there to see a movie. A colleague of mine was always buying a huge bag of popcorn to have at her desk at work…
To replace it with a Barneys….YUCK!
Simon Malls and Loews made a big mistake when they canned the Copley theater…
