Location: Oak St Cinema
Overall Rating: B+

Comments:

This movie was a re-release of the original Godzilla movie that was released in Japan. It contains about 40 extra minutes of footage not included in the original American release of the film. This is a classic and must see for anyone who likes the sci-fi/horror genre. It was great seeing this movie on a relatively big screen instead of late-night on TV.


The Oak Street Cinema is a small theater near the University of Minnesota and is on my top 5 of movie theaters in the Twin Cities, my list being as follows:

1) Riverview Theater ($2 tickets, second-run movies, excellent popcorn, a restored 1950s theater)
2) Oak Street Cinema ($7 tickets, $4 if you are members, decent popcorn and RC Cola, shows mainly independant films, Kung-Fu, Anime, and fringe movies, near the University so it has the college energy and atmosphere)
3) Highland Theater ($8/ticket, a Mann Theater, but it is a beautiful theater with a unique screen setup, another restored theater from a previous time)
4) Uptown and Lagoon Theaters ($7.50/ticket, the independant movie theaters of the Twin Cities, they show independent and art house films, usually shows interesting movies at midnight on Saturdays)
5) Carmike Wynnsong ($8/ticket, Carmike theater, this is the mainstream theater that we go to when we must see a hollywood blockbuster)
