Yeah, Scotiabank has the only two movies that look even remotely interesting. Gran Torino, and Milk. Actually Quantum of Solace has some potential also, so three movies. Mainstream film is pretty lackluster these days.

AMC has Slumdog Millionaire.

It's also playing Doubt and The Reader right now, two more great movies. I saw Mongol there a while ago which was also great. That AMC is a-ok in my book.

Just finish the damn building already!!!
I can't stand looking at it every week ... unfinished!

Scotiabank Theatre tends to get the bigger blockbuster movies, because they get first dibs.
At Square one, Coliseum gets first choice of movies over the Square One Empire theatre, due to it being there first.

Just looked that one up, must've slipped under my radar. It sounds pretty interesting.

Everyone I know who's seen it says it's fantastic. I'm going this weekend

The Coliseum and the Scotiabank also have Imax, one of the reasons why Hollywood studios like them.

Don't know if anyone's noticed, but there are Woo Restaurant signs on the exterior of the building now. I also found some renderings of the restaurant entrance on the fourth floor.

I prefer AMC over Scotiabank.

• Not as packed
• nicer chairs
• more leg room
• no need to go outside to get the subway
• great choice of movies

plus its usually cheaper.

$10.50 vs. $10.95 (some Cinplex are $9.95 though)

In older cinemas and also in small towns, tickets are cheaper. Newer cinemas in big cities charge more.

I heard some people say the narrow escalator at the cinema exit is a potential fire hazard. Every auditorium has a fire exit and that narrow exit isn't meant to be a fire escape because the fire department would have to enter the box office area to get to the theatres. If the large crowds exit to the box office area, it would get in the way of the fire department.

Ideally, the building should be already evacuated before the fire department even arrives at the scene. From my experience at TLS during a fire alarm, that is the case. The building is empty by time fire services arrive.

The For Lease sign in that image above is backwards. Oops hahaha.
