Theater is now CLOSED as of last week…the beginning of what will likely be many closures by its new evil corporate parent, Cinemark theaters.

Unfortunately, San Francisco is limited on the amount of theaters it has, so the AMC 1000 Van Ness usually plays to large crowds at all times. Its a pretty nice theater…but the presentation is not great. For example, on a recent night we went to a 10:40pm showing of a movie which didn’t finally start until 11:15pm—35 minutes after the stated starting time. There were TONS of ads and previews to the point that the audience was visibly annoyed! This will make me think twice about going back next time, but something tells me AMC/Loews couldn’t give a damn.

Boulevard Cinemas is a comfy, new 12 screen theater in Downtown Petaluma. All 12 are stadium-style seating, and the largest 2 auditoriums have THX sound. There are 4 theaters towards the back that are small enough to only qualify as “screening rooms”. This is where they usually play more “artsy” films.

I remember this theater as the “dollar theater”. You would pay $1 to catch your discount flick, but not before you got “padded down” by security on the way in! Charming.

The Marin Theater actually is only a three screen operation; each of the three could only qualify as “screening rooms” at best, as they barely have a capacity of more than 100 apiece.
