Before it’s demise, the Birdcage theater showed movies on the cheap. Something like $1 if I remember for movies that had been out for a long time. My dad would take my brother and I when we weren’t in school all the time.
I grew up in the suburbs and only enjoyed watching movies in the megaplex’s. Now that I’m a little older and have moved into midtown Sac, I have found a deep place in my heart for theaters like the Tower, Crest and Guild. If there is a movie out and I want to see it. The first place I look is at the Tower. Yes it’s old and run down and most of the employee’s there have no appreciation for what the theater is to this town but It’s a theater with history.
Maybe one day I will have the funds to purchase this theater and restore it to it’s former beauty. Until then, I will enjoy it for what it is and give it as much business as possible.
Most of the theaters within this Cinema are unusually small. Found the noise from the project to be extremely distracting while watching a film.
JohnRice, I am sad to hear that Cinemark has bought out the megaplex.
