The interviewer and the staff were professional. The theatre is small enough that every seat is a good seat. The lounge holds plenty of tables and chairs with a bar and concession stand. The location is on Colfax Avenue and there's even free garage parking at the theater and Tattered Cover bookstore next door. I love that this place is local and I don't have to drive all the way to downtown. Definitely check out the Series Fest schedule and other events!

What a great way to enjoy a free movie "al Fresco" here in the Mile High City!…read moreDenver has some very unique and beautiful architecture. The buildings around Civic Center Park combine with the lush green grass and ancient Greece-feeling columns to provide a great venue for outdoor movies. This year the folks at Denver Parks combined with Kronke Sports to offer three free movies each presented by one of their sports teams. Last night the Colorado Avalanche marketing and promo staff were on hand giving out hats and other great promo items. Bernie the mascot made time for countless selfies with all the children. Miracle- the story of the 1980 Olympic USA Gold Medal winning hockey team was the feature free film. One of my personal favo's for sure! **PRO TIP** There was two food trucks and an ice cream truck to supply the eats- however no alcohol vendors Plan ahead to bring blankets and warm clothing as the temps do fall here at 5280.

I have been to the Ogden Theatre at least 10 times to watch a variety of different kinds of shows,…read moremostly metal, but also electronic and rock. The venue is very old, I think it's over a hundred years old or something like that, and it shows but I think it adds character. The sound quality there is good for how old it is at least for metal shows. The venue is consistently oversold to the point where the last few shows I went to, I was watching from the entrance area. The smoking area is also way too small. It's always shoulder to shoulder there. The parking there is always a pain. There is street parking but you have to get there at least an hour early to find anything around the venue. Otherwise, you'll be paying an arm and a leg for paid lot parking. This isn't the fault of the venue itself though. I am sure I will be back at the Ogden Theatre and hopefully they make some changes to enhance the show experience.

Ogden Theatre sits on the heart of Colfax. It's filled with rich history and has welcomed…read moreincredible acts over the years. To me, it doesn't have the same allure and magic of some of Denver's rivaled clubs, though I appreciate its place in history. When it was built a hundred years ago, they probably never predicted that this old cow town would turn into as popular of a city as it has become. Attending an event here (or even at Fillmore a few blocks down) is chaos. Parking is extremely minimal, more like a major headache. The tour buses either park directly in front of the venue or on the sidestreet, the line to get in wraps around the building and with the surrounding Colfax chaos it's usually an overstimulating adventure just to make it inside. Ogden is bigger than Bluebird and smaller than Fillmore. Around 1500 capacity. I've seen two acts I really love here, Jerry Cantrell (of Alice In Chains fame) and Rival Sons. The venue floor is tiered and overall a decent setup. It's similar to Bluebird, different barriers separating one from the other. Sound is good, better if you're in the back, but if it's a band I love I'm getting as close as possible. They have two bars, and they do an adequate job serving the masses. You can't do anything about the prices, but occasionally you might find a deal on something. It's a concert, get a beer or a spirit and soda and get out of there! I'm sure I'll find myself here again and though it's not a favorite venue of mine, I can get down with the acts they bring in. If you can, uber there to avoid the parking situation!

BACKYARD MOVE NIGHT! Five star concept, 4 star execution. Call FunFlicks: They will (impersonally…read moreand robotically and probably electronically) set up an event for you. It will be so impersonal, that you will not be sure you are set up until a live person actually shows up at your door. What they do: They show up with a giant blow up screen that will fill your back yard. Then they attach speakers that rock your house and sound like the inside of the theater. Then they project the movie of your choice.. Super fun.. This is my third event, and I will keep using FunFLicks, though I hope they improve their pre-event communications in the future.

We had a paid event for a movie at the pool. The tech showed up 20 minutes late and was not…read moreprepared at all! First, he did not have enough stakes to safely secure the screen down. He only did the front of the screen. Had the wind changed direction, the entire screen would have fallen on all of our guests. After I provided enough stakes the make it safe, he realized he did not have the right sound cords. We had NO SOUND for our outdoor movie. The techs only solution was to drive back to warehouse 45 minutes away and get the correct cord. It would have taken him nearly two hours to get the correct cord, which would have made my family friendly movie starting at midnight. Luckily, our venue holds many events and we were able to provide the tech with the appropriate sound cords. Once we were finally able to start the movie (45 minutes past the scheduled time) he realized he did not have any batteries in his remote to start the movie. Once again, I was scrambling to provide something the company should have already had. The next day I called the company to tell them of all the issues we had with our event and see if I could be compensated anything given the fact that I provided half of the equipment in order to show the movie. Management did not seem to care that I had provide so many things for the movie. They offered to take $100 off my next rental but there was not going to be a next rental. I was told they would speak with their supervisor and call me back the following day. Two full weeks later, I had to follow up to see where the situation stood. I had to remind the manager of the entire situation as she could not recall any of the facts and still gave me the same information the as she did the first time. Apparently I was just supposed to send 200+ guests home and reschedule the event for another time. This was a paid event, I would have had to refund multiple people and I would have lost money. Had I not covered the tech with all of the equipment, the movie would not have played. I understand things come up and mistakes happen but management did not do anything to make the situation right. They were perfectly fine with losing a customer. Needless to say, I would never recommend Fun Flicks due to their techs being unprepared and management not making the situation right and taking nearly 3 weeks to return a call.

I've been obsessed with Hollywood and great films for as long as I can remember. With more and…read moremore studios moving out west, it's safe to say that Denver is on the map for actors, filmmakers and film festivals. Being invited to the final film screening at the 40th Annual Denver Film Festival, I couldn't pass up the change to channel my inner starlet! First of all, the Denver Film Society is just plain awesome and hosts annual events that feature a wide variety of films. Join as a member, filmmaker or just go as a guest - because you will feel like a true star! We met a variety of hosts, the director of I, Tonya, and learned all about the society before the screening. The festivals occur each year, with varying events offered throughout the year. I can't wait to return - and walk the red carpet!

Too few people are members of the Denver Film Society. It's a great Denver cultural organization…read more It's not funded by the City, nor is it a member of the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District, so they only get their money through the painful process of non-profit fundraising. But wait! You and you alone can change this. You can join. And should. Membership is cheap and benefits are huuuuge. Once, while talking to a board member of the organization, I asked how many members they had. I had guessed it was in the tens of thousands. Turned out it was in the hundreds. Whoa. What's with that? Given the great work they do with the Denver Film Festival, Film On The Rocks, and doing the programming for the Starz Theater at the Tivoli, these folks need all the support they can get. They've had their political / administrative challenges. That's for sure (http://www.denverpost.com/ci_12520398), but they're great folks, working hard to bring the best of independent films to Denver. Let's see how we can drag them outta the doldrums. Go yelpers. Go.

What kind of power trip is this girl on ? Too bad it ruined my taste for this theater as all other employees were really terrific and worth 5 stars.
