    We adored Movies With A View! We were hanging out in DUMBO and decided to collect treats at Jacques Torres' before heading to the park to watch sunset. It wasn't our plan to stay long. But with the skyline of Manhattan as the backdrop while you are watching a movie and having a picnic, who could resist? There was also entertainment before the movie. They played "Blues Brothers" that evening and John Belushi was great of course. But it really didn't matter to us which movie they picked. We would still have enjoyed it. There was just something magical in the air. Everybody was happy and having a good time. What a nice social event for anyone and it's free!

    During the summer months there are free movie screenings at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Not only is it "free" it's got huge screen and a million dollar view of the Manhattan skyline. Bring your family, friends, or your date and enjoy the movie that is being played. Movies with a view is better than any theatre you been to and you save on movie tickets. Bring a blanket enough for your party and bring food & drinks. People even bring wine and wine glasses so get comfortable. There are vendors selling popcorn, ice cream, etc. Movies with a view is worth attending to spend a summer day. You have to get there early to claim a spot on the grass. Only downside is, it can get way too crowded.

    I have seriously considered moving to Brooklyn after I first attended this event a couple of years ago. I have already gone twice in 2011. This, to me, is what makes NYC such a great place to live. Any city boasts bars and even restaurants; but a beautiful picnic and a movie on the big screen overlooking the city and the Brooklyn Bridge is what makes this city standout! [Plus, you already pay for things like this due to the absurdly high rent and city tax, so you may as well take advantage of all these "free" events]

When he checked our tickets, he surprised us with an upgrade that truly enhanced our evening. After the movie, we expressed our gratitude and were deeply impressed by his professional and humble demeanor. Travis also took the time to tell us about special events at the Speakeasy and even allowed us to take some photos. His exceptional service made our visit memorable, and we will certainly make IPIC our primary theater moving forward.

I usually go to Alamo Drafthouse, but…read morewe decided to try something new--and unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing experience. The staff came across as nonchalant and not very engaged, which set the tone right away. The food didn't help either--the spicy tuna was completely flavorless, not crispy and the drinks were underwhelming. We also weren't told ahead of time that you have to pick up your food and drinks yourself, which was surprising since we're used to full service at your seat. On the positive side, the popcorn and truffle fries were decent, but everything else fell short. The seats were just okay--not particularly comfortable. The bathroom situation was also frustrating--it's located upstairs near the restaurant and wasn't well maintained. There were no paper towels, and overall cleanliness was lacking. Overall, this felt like a subpar experience, and I won't be returning. My cousin mentioned the New Jersey location is much better, so maybe it's just this one--but based on this visit, I wouldn't recommend it.

(Click on my Substack for more Baumbach thoughts including my brief interaction with the auteur, as awkward as many of his finest scenes). You may have heard about the successful company that helped destroy movie theaters by pivoting to "content" meant to promote purchases of high-end TVs and nice couches. (Related, I went to Best Buy and didn't recognize anything. Is that a thermostat? A stereo? A smart garden hose?) This company was so successful, that after Knives Out was heralded as single-handedly reviving non-Marvel film, its sequel was withheld from the theaters it allegedly saved. (BTW, if you were planning to tell me to watch the amazing 53-part Quibi streaming series about The Golden Age Of Hollywood, don't bother). But after Netflix helped destroy theaters, it did a nice thing. It's one of those ironic moments like the purse-snatcher scene in Jay Kelly. It signed a lease that helped the Paris avoid the fate of the Ziegfeld and a million others, in a world where the AMC theaters that destroyed all the independents have been suffering themselves. So, while it was vile that Netflix thought Roma should be seen on TVs, it was nice of them to show it at the Paris, especially for the unusually vibrant sound. I saw Train Dreams Saturday. I suppose, like the kid in Squid and The Whale, I am a philistine. I wish I could praise its morose existentialism but I'm not quite on board. However, I did appreciate the majesty of the northwestern fires and falling trees in this venue. There was no assigned seating; not sure if this is just temporary, but if they keep that policy I might be obliged to overlook Netflix's evil and upgrade to 5 stars.

It was built by the French distributor Pathé as a showcase for the film industry and opened its doors at 4 West 58th Street on September 13, 1948. Located across the street from the iconic Plaza Hotel, north, and Bergdorf Goodman, south, it is Manhattan's only remaining single-screen cinema, and largest movie theater with 535 seats. The elegant theater, with its distinctive Arte Moderne style became a première cinema venue for the best films from around the world. Over time many hits such as: Zefirelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' 1968 (Italy), 'A Room With a View' 1985 by James Ivory (UK) , et le film 'Belle de Jour' 1967 (France) directed by Luis Buñuel, were introduced to the United States with an introductory theatrical run at our beloved Paris. Currently, the streaming platform, Netflix operates the cinema giving new life to the ultimate landmark of New York's multi-cultural movie theatre attendees. As Netflix's New York flagship theater, the Paris is the home to exclusive theatrical engagements, premières, special events, retrospectives, filmmaker & actors live appearances, while offering a wide range of unique screenings and noteworthy Q&A discussions. The Paris is truly New York's première movie palace for cinema lovers! Merci beaucoup. Enjoy!

I always enjoy going to the IFC Center to watch movies, but this was the first time I went there during a film festival. It was a cool experience to watch the movie, and also vote on the feature and short film shown beforehand. IFC consistently has interesting and diverse programming and collaborations for people who love movies and movie-making.

    I'm surprised I never updated my review for this theater and since the previous review is one of my…read morebad ones back from 2015, I might as well post this. There's a few issues here and a few fantastic things and I think the easiest way is to list them by category. The Bad: -Like others, I agree that the seats unfortunately are not that comfortable here. This is by far the biggest issue here and it should have been addressed years ago and I doubt it will be soon -They still show the same extremely annoying metal band shirt advertisement with flashing lights that is annoying every single time I go here -The staff here aren't the nicest but it's a movie theater so I can deal with it The Good: -If you're looking for independent films and foreign films, this is one of if not the best theater to go to -The occasional Q&A I'm able to go to such as most recently for Eephus; which was an excellent existential baseball movie; and the Ukrainian documentary Porcelain War last year are always entertaining and interesting and they don't cost more so I would recommend them -If you're looking to see some form films to fill out your Letterboxd Oscar list or perhaps the shorts or something, they show virtually all of them here -They have some fun midnight screenings and other things such as the obligatory The Room and Rocky Horror Picture Show of course There's a few other theaters that I like going to more but there's occasionally films that you really can't find anywhere else. Combine that with the fact that this place is so convenient that I deal with any of the issues here. If they fix the seats, you can preemptively switch this to five stars but for now, it's a four.
