I can't stand this theater. Every movie is disrupted by a freaking train. Who was the moron who built a movie theater next to busy train tracks? Dirty, loud and bad all around.

This is the filthiest movie theater I've ever seen! The bathroom was strewn with garbage. The sound quality is pretty good, and they show a lot of the multiplex mainstream stuff, I'll give them that.
