(416) 977-9262

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core

10/18/2010

Despite the AMC's proximity to the Eaton Centre and Y&D Square, i've never found it overwhelmingly crowded or poor quality service-wise.

* Pros
- Interesting mix of new releases, and other movies that aren't getting wide releases
- Smack bang on top of…More »

Toronto, ON M5V 3M6
(416) 368-5600

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

10/18/2010

Scotiabank's a cinema I don't mind going to when there's something like TIFF screenings, or it's a quieter weeknight or weekend-day screening, but when it's super busy on Friday and Saturday nights there, I break out in a rash of rage. That's not the…More »

186 Spadina Ave
Toronto, ON M5T
(647) 992-4335

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Alexandra Park, Downtown Core

11/23/2010

This is truly a rep cinema run by movie lovers - you feel a little bit like you've gotten together with friends in your living room to watch the movies you love, just on a bigger scale with somewhat neater seating. (Although because of the gentle,…More »

Toronto, ON M5V 3X5
(416) 599-8433

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core

This is a gorgeous new HQ for TIFF, and everything is pretty much as it should be - decent sized screens, clean and ridiculously comfortable tiered seating, a gorgeous building and fantastic, accessible facilities.

The variety of films and events…More »

5. Bloor Cinema

506 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M5S 1Y3
(416) 516-2331

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhood: The Annex

1/7/2011

I will occasionally drop into the Bloor to catch second-run big releases, but most of what I like to see there are special screenings, docos, small festivals and one-off events. Even though they do have a portion of their schedule for the second-run…More »

6. Isabel Bader Theatre

93 Charles St W
Toronto, ON M5S
(416) 585-4498

Category: Venues & Event Spaces

Neighbourhoods: Discovery District, Downtown Core

5/10/2011

Bader is a solid venue! I've been only a handful of times during film festivals, but each time has been a great experience.

It's a lovely building with very modern/clean design, and the three levels seating spreads out the flow of crowds filing in for…More »

7. Carlton Cinemas

20 Carlton St
Toronto, ON M5B 2H5
(416) 494-9371

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core

5/27/2011

This is a much nicer/less bustling with blockbustery crowds location of the small chain cinema (Magic Lantern/Rainbow) that is down on Front. As it's all been recently refurbished there's not too much to disparage as far as the facilities go - plenty…More »

8. Royal Cinema

608 College St
Toronto, ON M6G 1A1
(416) 534-5252

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Bickford Park

5/28/2011

The Royal is a gorgeous little single-level rep cinema out in Little Italy, and although I don't get over there too often, I feel it deserves my time for a review!

Most of what i've been out to the Royal for are one-off screenings, special cult movie…More »

9. Cineplex Odeon Varsity and Varsity VIP

55 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M4W 1A5
(416) 961-6304

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core

10/7/2011

Solid choice as far as Cineplex complexes go. Much nicer option than Scotiabank or the Y&E Silver City, for sure! They have a range of sizes of cinemas - I tend to prefer the smaller ones, but they're all comfy enough with decent sound. Concession…More »

10. Cumberland 4 Theatre

159 Cumberland Street
Toronto, ON M5R 1A2
(416) 964-9359

Category: Cinema

Neighbourhood: Yorkville

10/8/2011

The top point-scoring aspects of the Cumberland are the rotation of films, and the convenient location near a subway. I like the selection of indie/foreign/doc films, but it's not enough to have me going there super often.

The cinemas are a little on…More »
