The cinemas are modern and there is plenty of parking in the shopping centre…read more I chose to book my tickets on line and by the time I paid the booking fees and ticket prices (which I thought were a bit pricey) taking my family to the movies was almost $100 and we haven't purchased any snacks for the movie. Would have been nice to also prebook my seat. The cinema needed a vacuum and a clean as it seems they just played back to back movies. The thing that saved the rating was it was almost empty so finding seats wasn't difficult. All in all a reasonable experience. Lost a star due to cleanliness on the night and not being able to prebook my seat after paying a premium.

So friendly I wish I could move in…read more The Mountains would be lost without Glenbrook Cinema, a little one-screen independent movie theatre here since 1968. With so many of Sydney's indie cinemas long gone, Glenbrook has made a perfect niche for itself, showing everything from the latest blockbuster to world cinema releases, all mostly with a run for a single week. So you have to be organised to make sure you don't miss something, but at $10 for all tickets (yes, really) you can even take a risk on showing up and seeing whatever's on. The screen does not block out all concept of peripheral vision, the sounds is not felt in the solar plexus rather than heard, the seats comfy and you can get a cup of coffee in a real cup and saucer with a bikkie on the side. Session times vary, so check the website. And the staff are lovely. I saw 'Agora' here recently and no-one pointed and stared at the poor weeping lady overcome at the fate of female philosophers. I'll be up again this week for 'Jane Eyre', being a sucker for corsets, repression and windswept moors in close proximity. No laughing if the urge for Kate Bush dance moves becomes too much, please.

Glenbrook Cinema has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff there are very friendly and eager to…read morehelp. However, due to there only being one available theatre, the options on what movie to see are limited. The screen itself is also very small. Overall, Glenbrook Cinema is good, it is great to support a small business and it has a great vintage atmosphere but the movies on show don't have that same 'epic' feel that movies at hoyts sometimes do.

ALL seats are extremely spacious, new and comfortable, and come with a small table area, unlike…read moresome other branded cinema (who I won't name) which crams 999999999 tiny red seats into one cinema. Hoyts cinema is large and people/viewers aren't inappropriately rowdy. Located in the shopping centre (westpoint) and therefore has a lot of parking and is very close to public transport and restaurant/food/drinks etc. Top tier cinema.

I've seen many a great band advertised here but as is my wont, the thing that finally got me here…read morewas the lure of a spankin new comedy night. And it doesn't hurt that this deep wild-wild-inner-western venue is on the freakin bondi junction train line! #ftw Hump Night (Wednesdays, in a camel themed bar, capiche?) Comedy's opening night was brilliant, with a stellar lineup & full house. The decor description is best quoted to the night's MC- David Smeidt- who described it ss if a gay pirate was having a garage sale. Camels, camel themes, and some classic posters- the gay pirates responsible for decorating Camelot have definitely never heard the expression, "less is more"... I ordered a garlic pizza cos it was like $8. It was alright & for $8 I ain't gonna complain the crust was a bit hard tho. Some pretty amazing looking mezze plates were doing the rounds and making me regret my decision. Now that I know how easy it is to get to and groovy a venue it is I'm looking forward to joining the camel cult.

Random nights are the best nights, aren't they?…read more My friend Isobel sent me a message last week, with a Facebook link saying, wanna check this out next week in good old Marrickville? I was like, yeeerrrppppp, let's go. Why not, right? So tonight, I look at the Facebook page to figure out where it is and its like all trendy and ambiguous "in the back streets of Marrickville".... well, where the FUCK is that, eh??? Bloody thing. Well, I figured it out and I can't tell you how AWESOME it was! Dimly lit, trendy, hipster kitch. Think Shady Pines, but not so much Americana. Yes, cowboys. But also gypsies, persian carpets, camels and eastern flair. The owner, came over and introduced himself to us and was like, how did you hear about us? Well, we have the very uncool story that Isobel's mum told her about it. Yeah, I'm serious. LOL. We think it's funny as hell too, especially since the place was so great, so unknown. Her mum saw some live music here a few weeks ago. I should probably make up a cooler story about how I know about the place that makes me sound really awesome with my finger right on the pulse of avant guarde Sydney or something, so when I bring people here I can be like... yeah... I'm cool... man?!! We had wines which were delicious. I had an SA Pinot Noir. Hey, look! I'm trying to learn my wines! Be impressed. I'm a wine doofus. Downstairs is "Django Bar" which is I guess, not a music venue. Camelot is technically on the top floor, and is a music venue with some food... the garlic pizza is amazing. Perfectly garlicky and cheesy melty goodness. Sean Taylor was playing, he was described as a Chris Isaak acoustic guitar type.... well, wow, I could have easily stayed out til past midnight if it wasn't a school night. He was amazing. Everything was 5 star. I'm really glad to be able to write this review for such a great NEW establishment, but it's even better that it's in my home suburb of dear old MARRICKVILLE!!! Marrickville is seriously Sydney's Brooklyn. Seriously. Its coming up in the world. Watch out.

The cinema that ruins every other cinema experience for ever more…read more Quite simply the finest, classiest, most demure, seductive, charming and good old-fashioned fun cinema experience in Sydney and quite possibly the universe. Every time you visit a soulless megaplex after your time at Hayden Orpheum it will be a singularly disappointing experience bereft of any aesthetics or cultural value because really, how can anything compare? The cinemas are stunning art deco, they sell old-school choc tops, there's a solid program of the latest blockbusters and art house / doco fare, and they have insanely fun cult classics like a monthly interactive showing of the word movie ever made, The Room. There are love seats in the main cinema, and a freaking organ that rises up out of the floor for matinee performances. I know right! What what all the way. Best.

Being an eastern suburbs dweller, I've only been to the Orpheum on a couple of occassions. Each…read moretime I've sworn to journey over there more often (it's not even that far FFS). The Orpheum has kept it's gorgeous original deco interiors and exteriors intact, and the last time I visited (John Cleese triple bill including the Life Of Brian on Easter Sunday- kudos Orpheum!), there was a vintage pianist playing the grand piano in the lobby. I would love to see a silent movie thing here and I would bet money that they do them, it's that kind of place. Check out retro cinema Sundays- awesome and affordable triple bills that people dress up for. Old school wholesome entertainment, I love it.

Warning RAT infestation !!! Do not go to HOYTS cinema at…read morewestfield Warringah Mall if you value your health and want to be treated with decency by the manager when you report RATS running in the cinema !!! Cinema 5 ( if not others - I see someone on Google reviews has recently reported RATS in cinema 6 too ) is a serious health hazard clearly infested with rats . My family abruptly vacated mid movie yesterday evening after seeing 2 rats under the seats. Worse still the staff , and the manager on last night , were well aware of the rats. Said there were rat traps in the cinema but it was hard to eradicate the rats . Said there had been a rat sighting/ complaint a month ago . (see Google reviews, I'm not the only one to have seen RATS in the Warringah mall HOYTS cinemas . someone else reported rats in cinema 6 . ) last night the manager on duty refused to alert the remaining movie goers in cinema 5 , leaving them unawares they were sitting with rats around them . He also refused to give me his name , although he had all MY details. HOYTS management need to disclose they have a vermin problem, close down any affected cinemas and exterminate the rat infestation until such time as it's sanitary & safe for the public to sit in their theatre/s .

The theatres are awesome, there's plenty of movie times, it's clean and the best part, it's situated in a massive shopping mall. Once again, no one cares if you bring in food from outside (I may or may not have snuck in Maccas before) and the food court and Coles is so conveniently located on the level below. A movie night out must always include a trip to Coles to load up on junk food! Tip: Park on the rooftop/Coles side for easier access. As per all Westfields, free parking after 6pm. Hooray for movie nights!
