While in town, I went to go see Frozen 2 at this movie theater…read more It is so ample, both in terms of parking and actual space. The employees are generally friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and did I mention that the seats are reclinable? Win-win, hello! I'm not sure about prices admittedly, seeing as my friend got us the tickets, but I was heavily pleased with the entire experience. It made for some fun times.

Me, I did my part to follow in my father's footsteps by standing in front of the speakers while Grand Funk Railroad and Sly & The Family Stone played. If the sound level at the movies is any indication, then any regular movie goers are doing their part to keep hearing aid providers in business. When I have to remove my hearing aids because of the volume, then I think it's safe to say the sound is too loud. My wife had to wear her ear protection headphones as well. I still go when my wife wants to because she enjoys seeing some movies on the big screen but if it was just me then I would be happy to wait for any movie to come to streaming. When you only understand about 25% of the dialogue it's pretty hard to follow the movie and at home I can stream the sound into my hearing aids and control the volume. Plus there's always closed captioning if needed. Just like our previous experience with Oppenheimer, I will watch The Odyssey again when it's available for streaming so I can hear the dialogue. If the sound volume wasn't bad enough, there's the cost too although we did ok with a senior discount on our tickets for the 1 pm show. We did miss out on getting the "deal" on 1 large popcorn and 2 large drinks for only $27+ because we were running late and didn't want to miss the start of the movie. I thank my lucky stars. Spent that money instead on a much more satisfying meal at Sonny's BBQ after the movie. :-) This movie theater complex has been here awhile now and has already been through a major renovation when they installed reclining seats and other improvements. Now all of that is wearing out and another renovation is probably needed. The hydraulics in the first reclining seat that I tried wouldn't hold position and kept leaning further and further back. I have seen other seats that were marked not available, probably for the same reason. There are other signs of wear and tear as well. Despite all these things I must say that if they dealt with the loud sound level issue I would be inclined to come to the movies more often, at least during the day when I can get a discount on tickets. Still might have to stay away from the "deals" at the concession stand though. P.S. Our son is working as a well paid projectionist for the 70mm version of The Odyssey and says that the sound level is mandated and can't be turned down.

Over a week ago, a group of us gathered to go and see Oppenheimer. We showed up at this location as…read morethey have an IMAX theater. As it turns out, this is part of FSU. They have a wing, just talking about all these scientific discoveries they've made at the university. I believe they share this with FAMU, but don't quote me on that just yet. I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, aside from parking, which was garage parking and had to be paid for, it was a pretty standard movie theater. You know, get tickets, purchase popcorn, the usual stuff. I will say though that they don't play every single movie currently out, but I think it's because this location is small. Nevertheless, it has its charm -- the screen is great and the employees are nice.

Venue was clean, seats were comfortable and the movie looked amazing. My only complaint would be that I wish there would have been a heads up about the Christmas parade happening when we came into town on the Challenger website. Waze/Google Maps both showed the same path to get there but most of the nearby streets were blocked off with no alternative routes so getting to the parking garage was a nightmare. Luckily we were way early and still made it with 30 minutes to spare. Other than that one issue, a great visit. We will be coming in more often now that we are aware they are there.

The home of the Tallahassee Film Society. From their website:…read more "The Tallahassee Film Society (TFS) is a 501(c)3 tax exempt nonprofit organization. Incorporated in 1999, TFS was formed for the purpose of bringing foreign and American independent films to the Tallahassee area. Modeled after other film societies in the southeastern United States, TFS presents films all year around. In addition, we occasionally promote specialized film events and guests." Went to their screening of Food for Change and loved the space. Small and intimate but perfect for their collaborative screenings, where they pair up with community organizations such as last night's event with New Leaf Market co-op. I will be signing up for a TFS membership shortly!

Talk about spontaneous!…read more Went into town, discussed plans, and next thing I know we have tickets to see a play at this theatre. The play? Plaza Suite. Funnily enough days later I find out they're going to be doing this on Broadway with Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Go figure! Anyway, looks like we caught the Tallahassee version of it the day before its closing night. Given the spontaneity of it all, we arrived and were told to go to will call. Went to will call and were told to go back to the teller. Whatever. We got our tickets and sat down. Theatre is quaint, even cozy. Pretty intimate and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. I believe there's a bar outside as the actual pamphlet for the play contained an alcohol menu, but seeing as we didn't partake, I wouldn't be able to give you all the details. Felt the play dragged a bit honestly. Nevertheless it was enjoyable, and well, at least the seats were comfortable. Not to mention that I went with one of my favorite people.

Who knew there was life this side of the state?…read more Passed by the Monticello Opera House last weekend. Got to see their murder mystery show, The Altos Hit Broadway. Apparently the Monticello Opera House hosts various shows throughout the season, including a murder mystery show each year. I just happened to catch the last showing of it. Typically these shows include dinner as well, so it's essentially dinner theater. Don't ask me about price as I was invited, but the dinner included bread, salad, a chicken with pasta dinner, and a dessert (this time being a sponge cake). While the food certainly wasn't gourmet, it was better than expected. I recommend not eating the entire dinner though if you're like me with a tiny stomach. You'll be asking to get rolled out of there. Note, too, that they have a bar on site for drinks. These you purchase separately. Parking around the area is ample and free. This little town doesn't seem have much going for it except this majestic-looking opera house, which I found out has two floors and has been around forever and a day. They seem to host a variety of events, and well, I definitely want to go back. The Playbill I received had next season's showings and there's one there that intrigues me about Anne Frank. Hmm...

Attended a play at this jewel of a place for the first time since the pandemic. Though the past…read moreplays I attended have been staged in the banquet hall (with a delicious catered dinner and an open bar), sitting in the auditorium was really nice. The building is old but precious, with original wood throughout. Though I had an enjoyable time, the only drawback was the sound. I am not sure of the types of microphones, etc., used. I heard most of the actors clearly, but a couple of the actors' voices were a bit muffled throughout the play. All in all, I am looking forward to attending more plays. And if/when I feel comfortable again being seated closely with other patrons at the same table, in a limited space while sharing a common meal, I will definitely do so - just not now. Though the auditorium is on the second floor and there are two flights of stairs, there is also an elevator. Of note, for those who love quaint settings for performances, consider donating to MOH to help maintain the ambiance and structural features.
