Rooftopcinemaclub.There isn’t a fuller or prettier moment in the enticing “Moonstruck” (UA Egyptian, AMC Century 14 and Cineplex Odeon in Universal City) than Cher, still in opera clothes at daybreak, kicking a beer can up a silent Brooklyn Heights street, rapturously aware-for the first time-of life’s fearful and astonishing possibilities.Īs a young widow whose life suddenly shifts 180 degrees under the spell of an extraordinary full moon, Cher finally has a role that lets her comic sensibilities out for a romp. Doors usually open an hour before showtime, and you want to get there to get the best parking/viewing spot possible. Check with your location to make sure it’s OK but many of them are really accommodating. So if you’re bringing a full carload you might want to bring a chair or two to sit outside. The best seats in the house are the two front seats of the car. Some families brought chairs and sat outside near their car. The sound at many locations is broadcast through the radio so either be prepared to have your car on for the length of the movie or do what some theaters suggest and bring a radio with an FM receiver. Tickets are purchased in advance at many of the drive-ins so make sure to check the locations policy before you go I still don't fully know what Tenet was about.but at least I have a place to see it, and other new movies, on the big screen. Theaters like Moonstruck and Showboat are playing new films but there are also others that are playing classic movies and offering different themed cinema nights. So, if you’re like me and not ready to sit in the theater a drive in might be for you. Our regulars see the theater and it gives them one more thing they can do and now we’re seeing a lot of new faces that like to come here after a show and have a drink.” It’s only been a week, but the relationship is very symbiotic for both of us. One of the bartenders, Ethan Crooks, spoke about how the drive in is affecting business. The neighboring bar, The New Potato, provides drinks alongside the concessions stand. So please come, enjoy a movie, and support some of the local businesses that are out here.”įood trucks aren’t the only business being helped by the new drive-in. We’re even going to have a weekly bingo night so keep checking our website for updates. We have food trucks out here like Muiishi and Boom Box Tacos. We had a sold-out event for Metallica, and we are preparing for a series of live comedy shows in October. “We are equipped to show new movies, but we also show concerts and more. One of the owners, Alicia Tashiro, took a moment to speak about Moonstruck and says that they have more to offer than just movies. Driving up to the theater it’s impossible to miss the massive white screen mounted on a stack of 16 shipping containers placed in front of the city skyline. It’s a setting that is perfect for a drive-in theater. Right now, development is in the early stages, so the area is mostly a gated, empty field. Moonstruck overlooks the city from the East River development site, the new city center-ish 150-acre space which is part of the push to bring more arts, entertainment, businesses, and living downtown. The largest screen possible for me was provided by Moonstruck Drive In, one of the new drive-in theaters springing up in Houston as businesses try to figure out ways to operate in a pandemic. It should be seen on the largest screen possible. The acting is superb (well most of it…there’s a Russian bad guy pulled straight from old '80s movies)ģ. I don’t know if Tenet has a few major plot-holes or if the entire story is one big plot-hole but:Ģ. I found a theater, booked a ticket, and after finally seeing Tenet, I was able to come to a few points. I finally landed on seeing the film at the drive in, a movie watching option I would be experiencing for the first time. I wasn’t going to let my small TV affect my viewing of Tenet so, as reports continued to come out that Nolan wasn’t going to release the film straight to video, I began to look up options. I saw Inception and the Batman trilogy on the big screen and really enjoyed them. Now I, like a lot of other people, was just not ready to sit in the enclosed space of a movie theater…but I also wanted to see Tenet on the big screen. Like other Christopher Nolan films I had no idea what the story was about, but I knew I wanted to see it in the theater. The clip ended with the unexplainable action sequence of a car flipping on the highway and then reversing back to normal. Scenes of John David Washington and Robert Pattinson speedily rappelling up a building, were followed by fancy people in suits doing spy things while characters spoke over ominous music.
