A Movie Theatre Review

This past weekend, the Cinema Center of Camp Hill opened it's doors. For those of you who don't know, this theatre is located in the same shopping center as the Camp Hill Diner (currently under renovation) located on Simpson Ferry Road. All you West Shore Regal lovers no longer need to travel to Harrisburg (unless you really want to). Matinee showings are $6.00 and evening showings are $8.00. The concession area is quite spacious and covers all your standard movie theatre fare. Prices seemed to be similar to AMC and definitely cheaper than the Regal Beagle. But here's the real reason to check out this theatre. Not only is it stadium-seating, but the seats RECLINE. Ya know how the Regal seats give a little? That's nothing compared to these bad boys. The seats are red in color with what appears to be black pleather accents. Very comfy. And it gets better. And once the lights went down, there were no commercials. Very nice. And their gameroom was awesome. It was huge. My LOTR-friends might enjoy the fact that they have a LOTR pinball machine. They also have one of those "Dance, Dance Revolution" games along with an air hockey table and this cool looking old-school table soccer game. Top-notch for a theatre.

So I would recommend this theatre. I can't give it a complete rating since I didn't try the popcorn or use the restroom, but right now I'd give it a 5 out of 5.

I would also like to give a shout-out to my friend J. who took home an Emmy at the Washington-area Emmy Awards. Good job dude!

But is there still the 123Cinema456 at the mall?

No Lara. I'm afraid the 123Cine456 at the capital city mall is now just a memory. The sticky floors, the broken seats and the '70's motif has been leveled to make room for a new food court, with the current food court set to become an anchor store of some kind.

Well, I guess we lost you for movies on the east shore. Since west shore people don't like to travel.
