Author Topic: St. Vincent (2014) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 11-30-2014 05:47 PM                        CINEMA: Regal Downtown Summerlin 5, Las Vegas, NV PRESENTATION: Regal Backlit Floating Glow Screen with King Recliners and Mystery Meat Digital projection and sound PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None RATING: Three stars (out of four) So, yeah... You are looking at a floating screen mounted at the top and bottom (short about a foot at either end) with the sides wide open to provide a backlit glow light. Yes, they shut it off during the feature, but not during the trailers. Obviously, there's no masking. This brand new five-plex (!) is an "adult"-focused theatre with black leather recliners with built-in food trays. This is a quasi dine-in theatre, but one without seat service. You buy everything at the concession stand. Available options aren't terribly extensive...there's burgers, chicken sandwiches, appetizers...and you are given a pager to indicate when to pick up your order at the pick-up counter. There's also a full bar. Buy your booze there. They check your ID at the first purchase, then give you a wristband. There's a three-drink limit (one at a time) during each feature. Essentially, this is a drive-in snack bar with a liquor license. A burger, onion rings, and large soda cost me $18.50. Admission is about a buck and a half higher than admissions at regular Regals in the area. THE PLOT: A down-on-her-luck single mother hires a down-on-his-luck babysitter. Wackiness ensues. This is a pretty great Grumpy Bill Murray flick with an ear-to-ear-grin touching ending. He and the kid are just awesome together.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 12-02-2014 02:22 PM                     Awesome Sam! Cool theater with its food and drink selections. Refreshing seeing a new 5plex. Lookin forward to seeing this flick.  |  IP: Logged Terry Lynn-Stevens Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1081 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Dec 2012 posted 12-05-2014 01:00 PM                     This was on the better movies of the year. I thought Bill Murray and the rest of the cast were great. I am glad the movie did better than expected at the box office.  |  IP: Logged
