I love this cinema. When I was a kid, we had a movie theatre in Gananoque that was found inside the Bell Tower Mall. The theatre did tremendously well. That was until it decided to run "E.T." for a year and a half and went out of business. So, off to Kingston we'd go to see movies. Bit of a hike, but you do what you have to do.
One visit back to Gananoque for Christmas or something, we noticed the Boulevard Cinema had opened near the Gananoque waterfront. This movie theatre offers almost-first-run movies, that being films that have been out for maybe a week or two. As such, you have to pay the exorbitant fee of $4.00 per admission. If this is too pricey for you, you can always go on Tuesdays where it's $2.00 to get in. Happy now?
Initially the sound was crap in this theatre. The theatres themselves were small and the speakers that were used did nothing to fill the space. So the management set to making the sound work and as a reward for people putting up with shoddy sound, open their doors for free. These guys know how to run local business. Yes the theatres are small, but as such are intimate. And with the newly renovated sound system, the theatre provides astounding value for money. Seriously, four bucks? You can't rent a movie for that.
One of the best things about the theatre is Paul the owner, whose weekly movie review column appears in the Gananoque Reporter (http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) as well as on the Boulevard Cinema website itself (http://www.thechequesi...). And you thought you were opinionated...
