text: One of the downtown stretches three remaining active movie theaters When it opened in this cineplex effectively killed off the lost of the old theaters that lined St Catherine As multiplexes go this one is particularly ugly The renovations of the old hockey arena were poorly done although it is worth a stop at the Montreal walk of fame to laugh at how pathetic it is it currently houses two lonely stars Rocket Richard and Celine Dion nnYet I go quite frequently Why Because it is pretty much the only show in town In terms of selection it has a pretty eclectic mix of programming ranging from mainstream Hollywood independent films foreign or Quebec films subtitled in English and big Bollywood releases I would go so far to say that it has a better selection than Cinema du Parc at least in its current incarnation Unfortunately I always feel like the Forum is on the brink of going under It is never full It is generally not even half full In fact it is usually empty with the exception of Tuesdays and maybe opening weekends In fact we have gone a few times only to find ourselves to be the ONLY ones in the entire theater talk about a personal experience Why Is it too far west Maybe Or perhaps its worst sin is that the tickets are way too damn expensive bucks more than Manhattan for Christs sake and they do not get the blockbuster releases which all go to the Paramount aka Banque Scotia The exorbitant ticket price provides justification for twoforthepriceofone double features and to that end it is a good place since you can wander freely to check out what else is playing after the film ends Bon Cinema
