Cinama City has always been one of my favourite theatres. It’s affordable, and isn’t as busy as the bigger Silver City locations. No waiting over 10 minutes in line for popcorn and missing the start of your movie.

They have two locations:
Cinema City North Gate – 1399 McPhillips St
Cinema City McGillivray – 2190 McGillivray Blvd.

Though you won’t find any brand new movies player there, they have a lot of great titles playing during the month of September.

IMPRESSIONS: Step Up 3D

Written By Ken | 3 Comments

Special thanks to Paramount Pictures for inviting us and a few lucky Access Winnipeg readers to the advanced screening of Step Up 3D last night. Though the movie had a predictable story line, it very well lived up the word 3D in it’s title. Hand’s down the best 3D effects I’ve ever seen… yes, better than Avatar!

You’ll notice that there is no 2D version of this movie. This is becuase the movie is all about the 3D effects and is not meant to be seen in a 2D version (ie. Don’t bittorrent this movie, it’s not worth it)

Here is my mini review:
- Acting = it’s on and off. The good dancers were weak actors, and the good actors were weak dancers
- Story Line = very cheesy and predictable. But if you’re into that stuff then you’ll probably be crying by the end of the movie. It’s tons of fun, but only if you’re willing to accept the fact that the dancing and 3D are the main focus of the movie, not the story line/acting.
- Soundtrack = great music. Worth the purchase
- Dancing = amazing. Great choreography and well place videography. A lot of moves are fresh and things that you probably haven’t seen yet. Something from all dance genres. Waltz, tap, hiphop, etc etc. My favourite scene has to be the Moose + Camille dance scene
- Rick Malambri = the girls will love him
- Sharni Vinson = hot!!
- Adam G. Sevani = why isn’t this dude a household name yet? He’s an amazing dancer and a great actor.
- 3D = the greatest 3D effects movie out there right now. If you thought Avatar’s 3D was great… wait till you see this movie

Conclusion:
- 3D Junkies: Even if you may not be a dance fan, this movie is STILL for you. It does 3D perfect. If you ever wanted to see the amazing things a 3D movie can achieve, then don’t hesitate to watch this movie
- Winnipeg Dance Crews: I expect ALL of you to watch this movie. It will simply blow your mind away

Step Up 3D hits theatres Friday, August 6, 2010.

Famous Players Garden City Cinemas Closing It’s Doors for Good

Written By Ken | 2 Comments

After 40 years (opened August of 1970), the Cineplex/Famous Players owned Garden City Cinemas will be closing it’s doors for good.

The two-screen cinema will be playing their last movies Thursday night, Inception and Punjabi film Mel Karrade Rabba.

The lease on the location currently expired and Cineplex decided not to renew it. Instead they will service Garden City residents with their Cinema City theatre located at North Gate Shopping Centre. Cinema City plays older movies at a cheaper price. Garden City residents who want to watch bigger named titles will have to head to Silver City Polo Park.

This theatre brings back a lot of memories for me. Before the big Silver City locations opened this was the theatre of choice. I remember lining up for Titanic at this theatre and lines would wrap around the building. Lately those line ups don’t exist any more and they have focused on playing some foreign titles to attract the Filipino and Punjabi community in the GC area.

It’s going to be a shame to see a big part of my (any many other Winnipeggers) childhood close for good.
