We also ordered our concessions to be ready when we arrive. Parking was super-easy and free in the large parking lot. We were nicely greeted as we walked in and directed to our theater. Our popcorn and drink cups were ready at the express pick-up shelf. I filled our sodas while the daughter buttered the popcorn. The lobby/concession area was well kept. The theater was super-clean. The a/c was perfect. The recliners seemed newer than other AMCs. They worked well and were very comfortable. We had no issues with the sound or picture quality. All this made for a perfect movie going experience in watching The Odyssey for 3 hours.

Regal Unlimited makes movie going easier and cheaper. It pays for itself with 2-3 visits a month. Matinee pricing is about $13 per movie and the regular price is $16-17. Regal Unlimited is about $25 per month. You can watch as many movies as you want in a day, week, or month. I often take a free day and plan on watching 2-3 movies back to back. Tickets are purchased at the concession stand. I usually go there instead of paying the 0.50 charge for online booking convenience. It's easy and quick when the line isn't long. You may want to bring a light jacket or cardigan because the air conditioning can be cold depending on the day. The screens are crisp, the sound is great, and the reclining leather seats are comfy. The theater is kept clean, even in the bathrooms. There are multiple theaters for viewing which makes it easy to catch almost any movie you want to see and keeps the theater from being overly crowded. I've been able to catch movies here where my friends and I felt like we had the whole theater to ourselves and it was nice. Parking is easy in the free garage steps away from the front door, or you can even park in the massive lots of the mall and surrounding stores/restaurants. They also have a bar area, and a tiny arcade area to enjoy while waiting for your movie. The inside is a bit dated but I've yet to have a bad experience here.

From the moment I sank into those ultra-comfortable, spacious reclining chairs, I knew this was going to be something special. The seats are ridiculously plush--plenty of room to stretch out, perfect recline, and enough space that even my tall frame didn't feel cramped. It felt more like lounging in my living room than sitting in a theater, but with a massive screen and incredible sound. As for the movie itself, "A Great Awakening" is an absolute masterpiece. It's powerful, thought-provoking, and emotionally gripping from start to finish. The storytelling is masterful, the performances are outstanding, and the cinematography is breathtaking. I was completely immersed the entire time. It left me inspired, moved, and genuinely uplifted--exactly what a great film should do. The theater in Franklin gets everything right: clean facilities, friendly staff, and those heavenly recliners that make the whole experience feel luxurious. I can't recommend this combination enough. If you're anywhere near Franklin, do yourself a favor and see "A Great Awakening" here. You won't just watch a great movie--you'll enjoy it in total comfort.

Nashville Film Festival is in its 53rd year. For those who are unaware, that's practically unheard…read moreof in the film festival world. Capitalizing on its location in Music City (Nashville, TN), the Nashville Film Festival is a week-long festival that weaves together film, music, and culture and produces a film festival that is both critically acclaimed and noted for its hospitality. The festival utilizes some of Nashville's most historic cinemas - The Belcourt Theater, the Franklin Theatre in nearby Franklin, TN, and the Andrew Johnson Theatre at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. The Virgin Hotels in Nashville also hosted screenings. I've always sort of been on the fringes of the Nashville Film Festival starting when Brian Owens (formerly of Indy Film Fest) was their artistic director and because of a sort of kinship that exists between Nashville and Indy's own Heartland Film Festival. However, this year was the first year I became actually credentialed by the festival as a film journalist and was able to cover screenings as press. The process for credentialing was really media friendly and I've been super impressed with how much follow-up the festival does with its media. It really makes me want to stay in Nashville and cover the entire week (which I may do next year). This year's festival had 150+ screenings (both in-person and virtual offerings, though the virtual offerings were definitely more limited). They also offered panels, workshops, live music performances, a creators conference, and quite a few activities after the day of screenings for filmmakers, press, and specific target populations. The film festival is guided by the non-profit organization NashFilm and it does offer year-round activities including outdoor movies, educational programming (they offered a great screening of the wonderful documentary "Butterfly in the Sky" during the festival for area school kids), the Living Reel Project, and quite a bit more. Of the theatres, Belcourt is easily my favorite. As is true of all festivals (or most), tickets are less expensive if a member. However, you can also get all access passes that really make it pretty affordable. The website makes it super easy to check out film options, the schedule, and to get tickets. Staff and volunteers are all friendly and helpful and I really like the vibe here. It's artsy yet accessibly so. I suppose I expected it to be a tad snootier and that just wasn't the experience at all. This is a definite gem of a film festival. It lacks the pretentiousness of some festivals and really just offers great screenings at great venues and people you enjoy being around. If you're in Nashville, it's a no-brainer to attend and I'd definitely consider this a festival worth taking some vacation time and attending!

Awarded one of my coveted 5-star ratings!…read more One of the most enjoyable experiences I have had in Nashville. I mean, this is right up there with sitting behind the glass at a Predators game! A person at the festival told me that the atmosphere of openness and accessibility was how the big-city, big-name film festivals used to be. It's unfortunate that things change and I understand that it is most likely a response to changing conditions at the festival sites. I felt like I was a VIP with the access that I had to directors, producers, sponsors, writers, and generally anyone that had anything to do with the movies. Admission to the movies was $12, or $9 if you were wearing a rock n roll t-shirt, which was not advertised very heavily. The Regal Green Hills Stadium 16 is not a new theater, which added to the ambiance when watching movies. Seats were comfy but a bit creaky at times. Some of the movies/events I enjoyed: Musica Campesina - A new immigrant tries to get his feet on the ground in a new city (filmed in Nashville!) 10 Days to Nashville - Short documentary of a couples journey to their mecca - Nashville again! Stranger Things - Trust and human connections are explored Broke - The music industry is in flux and how one group is struggling to make it big Gustavo Santaolla - Two-time Academy Award winner who scored Brokeback Mtn and many other films Terri - Social misfit develops a warm relationship and has a coming of age experience Mercy Lounge - Closing party I will be there next year!

Gah, it would make me despise going to the movies if I had to deal with all those people every time. Ultimately, this is 5 stars. Plenty of screens. An IMAX screen. Great snacks. I live in Louisville so why did I end up here? A few words: The Odyssey. 70mm IMAX. I do love film. The Odyssey is the first film in history to be filmed completely in 70mm. After this experience, I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch this movie in any other format... ever. It was incredible. I had checked our other close 70mm location(Indy) but at the time it was sold out for weeks. I learned that Nashville got a 70mm version in, flew in the equipment, and hired projectionists to run it... was able to find August 1 tickets and took the leap. I was in awe the entire movie. 70mm truly is the only way to see this movie. The close 2nd would be to see it in a Dolby theater(closest there for us in Louisville is Cincinnati). One other note on the theater. It's a Regal. I appreciate Regal's order snacks in advance/pickup system. Other theater chains try to do it but I think Regal is the best of breed here. They've figured it out. I'm also a big fan that you can order caramel popcorn here. Drools. I was debating Dune 3 tickets since only 71 minutes of that film is shot in 70mm. When I saw the trailer before The Odyssey... OMG, I had to pick up Dune 3 tickets in 70mm. So I'll be visiting this theater again come December. I consider this theater a special event theater. If you live far away or close and there is something like 70mm or a huge movie, go to this theater to check it out.

I don't really recommend visiting on a weekend, as it is right next to the Opry, and will probably be impossible to find parking! Parking is tricky even on a weeknight, but hey, that's Nashville for you. Tuesday nights are the move, with discounted tickets on all movies. The concessions line moved quickly, and the theater itself was clean. My popcorn was perfectly buttered and salted, albeit a bit pricey. My big complaint with this Regal is that they don't have recliners! These are your standard movie theater seats, and while that's fine every once in a while, it definitely stops us from making this our regular theater, especially when you are paying full price for tickets. I believe all of the other Regal locations around Nashville have recliners, so I'm not sure why this theater hasn't been updated ... but I would love to see them get a refresh!

I've been around long enough to remember when this theater was brand new and felt like "the" spot…read moreto see a movie in Nashville. It's certainly seen better days, but it remains a comfortable place to catch popular films, and it's still booked and busy at peak evening times. Part of the Regal network, a standard film here runs about $17 (taxes and fees included) for a matinee and $21 for an evening prime time show. All theaters feature recliner-style seats with lots of room between rows. It's not always the most well-maintained between shows (popcorn and candy wrappers left behind by earlier moviegoers), but it's serviceable. Given the price of tickets these days, I do wish they'd keep it a bit cleaner. A medium popcorn and medium drink can run you about $23, which feels insane, but the popcorn is always freshly popped and topped generously with butter. The concessions line is always long but moves quickly, and I've never been late to a show because of it. Generally this is one of my preferred spots for popular movies: easy to reserve in advance, easy for my friends to get to from anywhere in greater Nashville (so a great meeting spot), and parking is plentiful even when it's packed. The Regal Unlimited membership is roughly $30 a month, so if you see at least two movies a month, it's a great deal compared to AMC's offering. I also find better movie selection with Regal in general, and this location always features some otherwise hard-to-find Indian movies, which is a nice bonus. Not the fanciest theater experience in town anymore, but a reliable one.

The exterior and interior could use some updating, but parking was extremely easy and convenient. Once inside, I noticed the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. There was a bit of a line at concessions, and it moved slowly, but the employee helping us was exceptionally kind and helpful. He even asked if I was a member and let me know I could save 40% on my order (I believe Regal offers this discount on Tuesdays). The theater itself was clean and appeared to have relatively new seating. The chairs weren't recliners, but they were comfortable enough for the movie. While Regal Green Hills is definitely the more modern theater, we had a great experience at this location and would happily return.

Do you like thought-provoking and high-quality foreign films?…read more You could certainly catch a show at Nashville's appealing Belcourt Theatre (http://www.belcourt.org/) -- but did you also know that Vanderbilt has an International Lens series of films that it shows for FREE on its campus?! Here's the link to this season's lineup - http://www.vanderbilt.edu/internationallens/ Tonight I saw a tragic and thought-provoking Austrian film about Jewish counterfeiters working in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0813547). Sure, perhaps I could have borrowed the film from the library, but Vanderbilt gave me the opportunity to see it on the big screen along with a brief introduction and post-show discussion led by a German professor. And did I mention this was free?! Gosh I love living near a major university that is willing to open its arms to the surrounding community and share its cultural largess. Thank you, Vanderbilt! What else...seats are comfy and the theater is clean, but don't expect stadium seating or cup holders. Sarratt Cinema is very nice, but not particularly fancy, ostentatious or luxurious. There was a limited selection of snacks and candies available at the door. I didn't get any, but I did notice that they had some sort of special deal where you could get a free popcorn if you purchased any other concession. Some other audience members took advantage of that offer. As you might expect from the venue, the audience seemed erudite and was well-behaved during the film. The cinema is on a lower level of the Sarratt Student Center (http://www.vanderbilt.edu/studentcenters/sarratt-student-center). If you're not already familiar with its location, you may want to plan on arriving a little early to find your way around and find someplace to park. So c'mon and take a cinematic trip around the world through the magic of film and the International Lens series @ Sarratt Cinema! What did Siskel and Ebert always used to say? "Until next time, the balcony is closed." (Er, only there is no actual balcony at Sarratt Cinema. But you get the idea. Work with me, people. Work with me. Yelpover and out.)
