text: Valley Art has really gone downhill since I wrote my last reviewnnIt used to be they would show movies of all kinds Not just the exclusive youmustlovearthouseshitinordertoenjoythismovie type stuff they have been showing most frequently I remember looking at showtimes and seeing classics and wellregarded popcorn flicks The Apartment Network Fargo Aliens those movies kick ass It seems that whenever I look to see what is playing it is either a drama about a woman who knits a pair of socks for an hour and a half or a criticallyacclaimed movie that is about to be on DVD in like five daysnnSeriously They were showing the Hurt Locker riiight before its DVD release for you know standard prices to see it which to me is rather exorbitant given the economic times we are living in I do spend money to see movies because I enjoy the theatergoing experience but if that fuckers going to be on DVD like next Tuesday I am going to save a couple bucks and see it at home Generally when you see a movie that close to its video release in the theater it costs around nnWhen they premiered movie marathons for Patrick Swayzes and John Hughes death that was super cool but it sucks that it takes the death of someone beloved to play some quality entertainment It is been ages since something I have been excited about has played there Last thing was probably Che which was quite awhile ago Just about a year I thinknnMADCAP theater has picked up where Valley Art left off I mean shit why cannot I have TWO theaters on Mill Ave that kick ass Would not that be sweet If Valley Art went back to what they used to do playing good old classic films and the occasional hardtofind Golden Palm winner at Cannes flick I would be so happy I would poop in my pants with glee
