mongol ( монгол ) , also known as mongol : the rise of genghis khan in the united states and mongol : the rise to power of genghis khan in the united kingdom , is a 2007 russian semi-historical epic film directed by sergei bodrov , about the early life of temüjin , who later came to be known as genghis khan .

the storyline was conceived from a screenplay written by bodrov and arif aliev .

it was produced by bodrov , sergei selyanov and anton melnik and stars tadanobu asano , sun honglei and chuluuny khulan in the main roles .

the film was a co-production between companies in russia , germany and kazakhstan .

filming took place mainly in the people 's republic of china , principally in inner mongolia ( the mongol autonomous region ) , and in kazakhstan .

shooting began in september 2005 , and was completed in november 2006 .

after an initial screening at the russian film festival in vyborg on 10 august 2007 , mongol was released in russia on 20 september 2007 .

it saw a limited release in the united states on 6 june 2008 grossing $ 5.7 million in domestic ticket sales .

it additionally earned nearly 21 million in sales through international release for a combined $ 26.5 million in gross revenue .

the film was a minor financial success after its theatrical run , and was generally met with positive critical reviews .

the film was nominated for the 2007 academy award for best foreign language film as a submission from kazakhstan .

the film is intended to be the first part of a trilogy about genghis khan , and initial work on the second part began in 2008 .

the trilogy project was eventually put on the shelf , but in july 2013 , during a visit to the annual naadam festival in ulan bator , bodrov told the press that the production of the sequel had started , and that it may be shot in mongolia , as had been the intention for mongol , before local protests , fearing that the film would not correctly portray the mongolian people and its national hero , genghis khan , caused the shooting to move to inner mongolia and kazakhstan .

a photo of eagle hunter aisholpan nurgaiv went viral in 2014 and inspired a new film about her life .
pier paolo pasolini’s adaptation of chaucer’s the canterbury tales , the middle film in his trilogy of life series .
the film ' s director , andrei proshkin , has defended the film as a work of
historic fiction ,
saying it was never intended as a true - to - life depiction of the golden horde .
she must have seen the movie . that ' s about all they do in
mongol .
they do not sing , dance , chant , hold summit meetings , have courts , hunt , or ( with one exception ) even cook and eat . they have no culture , except for a series of sayings :
a mongol does , or does not . . .
a long list of things , although many a mongol seems never to have been issued the list , and does ( or does not ) do them , anyway .
another quibble : the religious scenes , in which temudgin retreats to a sacred spot to fortify his spirits , seem cursory , as if bodrov decided the film needed a shot of instant kurosawa . you can ' t introduce a subject like mongol animistic beliefs and just touch on it in passing .
for its first screening , the film , almost finished at that time , was shown to a selected audience last september 19 in st . petersburg’s newly constructed velikan cinema as part of the kinoexpo film - industry trade show . the said audience was composed of exhibitors as well as other industry personalities which include a - list russian filmmakers alexander sokurov of faust , alexie uchitel of the edge and sergei bodrov of mongol . after the film was shown , these same individuals congratulated director bondarchuk for a job well done .
battle in the rain : the final battle between temudgin and jamukha , in which temudgin wins and unites the mongol tribes . and the rain was the reason he won—see call back below .
mongol , from its thrilling battles to its intimate romance , has the look , scale , story and feel of an old - fashioned epic in the best and biggest sense of the word .
there are a few battle scenes , but they also seem small – no mongol hordes of thousands are here . the film’s budget may have restricted what could be shown , and since the filmmaker is planning a trilogy , he may have been thinking of holding off an any grander scenes until the next installment .

bruno de nicola investigates the development of women’s status in the mongol empire from its original homeland in mongolia up to the end of the ilkhanate of iran in 1335 . taking a thematic approach , the chapters show a coherent progression of this development and contextualise the evolution of the role of women in medieval mongol society . the arrangement serves as a starting point from where to draw comparison with the status of mongol women in the later period . exploring patterns of continuity and transformation in the status of these women in different periods of the mongol empire as it expanded westwards into the islamic world , the book offers a view on the transformation of a nomadic - shamanist society from its original homeland in mongolia to its settlement in the mostly sedentary - muslim iran in the mid - 13th century .

rob’s film experience extends from finance and distribution management to creative duties on more than a dozen successful films , including such critical and commercial successes as the usual suspects , breakdown , bound , blade 2 , and cabin fever . he is executive producer of laura smiles , which premiered in the 2005 tribeca film festival , of the amateurs , a comedy starring jeff bridges , and he set up the film mongol , an action epic about the early life of genghis khan that was nominated for a 2008 academy award for best foreign language film . he is executive producer of the horror trilogy abattoir , directed by darren lynn bousman ( saw ii , iii and iv ) , which is funded by chinese investors .
mongol was directed by sergei bodrov , and was a joint russian / kazakh / german production . the film was shot in inner mongolia and the dialogue is in the mongolian language . it is a considerably better film than previous genghis khan biopics such as the disastrous the conqueror ( 1956 , with john wayne as temudgin ! ) and genghis khan ( 1965 ) , as well as being more historically accurate , though it takes its share of major artistic license .
mongol is a fantastic movie . the throat - singing was an eerie soundtrack , but effective . sergei always said this was to be the first in a trilogy , i ' m hoping he gets there eventually .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
not surprisingly , mongol was nominated for best foreign film by the academy of motion picture arts and sciences . ironically , but very logically from the viewpoint of transnational cinema , it was nominated for the oscar as a film representing kazakhstan ( which provided much of the financing for the film ) . kazakhstan was put on the map of the global media two years ago by a transnational comic flick , borat : cultural learnings of america for make benefit glorious nation of kazakhstan ( 2006 ; dir . larry charles ) , a different kind of a transnational journey redefining space and the protagonist ' s identity .
i hope this title becomes available for rental on amazon soon because more people need to see this film . it is fantastic !
the director of
the horde ,
andrei proshkin , has defended the film as a work of

peter’s take : i had gone into this movie with high hopes – the mongols are a favourite subject of mine , and the story of the rise of genghis khan is something that could translate into an epic film . while mongol takes advantage of the magnificent views of the great steppe , it doesn’t deliver on giving a a story to match .
for its two - hour running time , mongol makes you believe that you ' re in the company of the future khan and his companions as they struggle to endure the callousness of the times and the savage environment .

outside former eastern bloc countries , bodrov ' s picture functions as a film for global media consumption . it offers a melodrama plot combined with the story of a man ' s journey in search of his true identity , with the soundtrack emphasizing its foreignness for the overwhelming majority of film markets . the film ' s dialogue is in mongolian and requires subtitles or voice - over translation anywhere but in mongolia .
the film is critical of the law school’s reversal of the decision . willingham’s narrative comes at the beginning of the film , which focuses heavily on the testimony of victims of sexual assault and what they describe as the lackluster administrative responses at colleges and universities across the country .

the origins of sergei bodrov ' s new epic feature , mongol , part one , tell consumers and critics a lot about the fate of russian cinema in the new millennium . the german - kazakh - russian co - production venture hired a russian - born film director , together with film workers from other countries , to make a transnational film targeted at multiple national and international communities within the framework of global media - based capitalism . relying on his experience in making soviet , russian , and transnational films , bodrov completed the new project with exceptional professionalism . he started his career in the 1970s and remained prolific and successful even during the 1990s , the most difficult years for the new russian film industry . his prisoner of the mountains ( kavkazskii plennik , 1996 ) won an oscar nomination for best foreign film , and was one of the few russian films to gain international release and acclaim during this decade . in 2005 bodrov co - directed ( with ivan passer and talgat temenov ) the most expensive kazakh film ever made , a $ 40 million historical epic , nomad ( kochevniki ) .

with his two sons during a break in filming on the set of the conqueror , a big budget blockbuster about genghis khan shot in the utah desert in 1954 . it was one of hollywood’s most famous mis - castings . the duke could do many things but playing a 13th century mongol warlord was not one of them . film geeks consider it one of the great turkeys of hollywood’s golden age .
not accurate at all . since there is virtually no information about the early life of gengis khan and his rise to power , the film mongol can be safely regarded as a work of complete fiction . more specifically , it is russia ' s attempt to manufacture an alternate mythology to fill the chasm left behind by the disintegration of the soviet one . russia always had trouble settling on a perception of its mongol past , and this is just another swing of the pendulum . not only is it a complete fabrication on a macro scale , but the details show a complete ignorance of mongol history . one of my ' favorite ' scenes was the very end of the movie when they presumably preview the sequel , and show mongol horsemen mowing down some army by riding through them with swords sticking out on both sides . while even the wildest lord of the rings fantasy would have blown its wad at that scene , it bears no resemblance to the reality of mongol warfare . mongols rode ponies , which they remounted frequently , and avoided close - quarter engagement . their primary weapon was a short bow , which they fired from horseback , then retreated , thereby whittling down the enemy force . metalworking was not available to the nomadic mongols , and the few swords and other metal object they did have were acquired through trade , and served as a status symbol or , at most , a weapon of last resort . andrey

within a year after the film debuted as a critical and commercial flop , producer howard hughes knew that problems were on the horizon . out of guilt , he purchased every single print of the movie that had ever been copied , and kept them at his mansion home . in his later , eccentric years , he would view the film every night before going to bed , regretting each day for the rest of his life the fact that he produced the film .
in the countries of the former eastern bloc , above all in russia , kazakhstan , and perhaps mongolia , the film gets reinterpreted from the points of view of their respective cultural optics . these new countries are in the process of articulating their own national and transnational identities , their place within the global media market . in this respect , mongol mythologizes the past for the sake of explaining the present identities of these nations .
as for being a work of russian fiction , russian director sergei bodrov ' s grandmother was a buryat mongol , he had made several prior movies based on central asian history and the production was financed mostly by kazakh money and represented kazakhstan in international movie festivals ( he had hoped to film it in mongolia , but the mongols weren ' t sure it would do justice to the great khan and wouldn ' t cooperate ) .

mongol
is a ferocious film , blood - soaked , pausing occasionally for passionate romance and more frequently for torture . as a visual spectacle , it is all but overwhelming , putting to shame some of the recent historical epics from hollywood . if it has a flaw , and it does , it is expressed succinctly by the wife of its hero :
all mongols do is kill and steal .
the action sequences here are first - rate , the performances are uniformly excellent , the cinematography as good as i ' ve seen in any film this year .

it happens that i have seen another movie about mongols that suggests they do more than steal and kill . this is the famous nine - hour , three - part documentary
taiga
( 1995 ) by ulrike ottinger , who lived with today ' s yurt dwellers , witnessed one of their trance - evoking religious ceremonies , observed their customs and traditions , and learned in great detail how they procure and prepare food . there is also a wrestling match that is a good deal more cheerful than the contests in
mongol .
but you do not have the time for a nine - hour documentary on this subject , i suppose , nor does
mongol .
the nuances of an ancient and ingeniously developed culture are passed over , and it cannot be denied that
mongol
is relentlessly entertaining as an action picture .
war god : tengri is depicted as one - seeing how temujin prays to him before a battle . such as it is , there actually is a god of war in turko - mongol mythology - kyzaghan , a deity that some note is quite similar to the norse odin .
there are scenes of greatness in mongol . take for example , the scene where genghis khan , known in this movie as temudgin , tells his son how he chose his mother well . his wife replies ,
you did not choose me . i chose you
ti which temudgin replies after a moment of thought ,
true !
mongol is about the man who would become one of history ' s greatest conquerers , and this movie focuses on how temudgin ' s family life played an essential part in setting him in the path of his destiny . his wife remains his only constant through many ordeals of slavery , clan disputes , betrayal , and brotherhood . the problem is that the film oversimplifies a lot of these events . we never truly understand why after the death of his father , the remaining tribe wanted to hill temudgin . nor do we ever really see the mongol way of life , which the characters speak so highly of throughout the film . in essence , it ' s an action picture that should have been a grand epic . many of the films scenes are beautifully shot and constructed . but others feel redundant , as if we ' ve seen them in countless hollywood action epics . specifically , the battle scenes seem too much like braveheart . a well made and watchable film . but not a great one .
the mongol rally thunders 10 , 000 miles across the mountains , desert and steppe of europe and asia each summer . there’s no backup , no support and no set route ; just you , your fellow adventurists and a tiny 1000cc car you bought from a scrapyard for £11 . 50 .

laurent fumeron , produced music videos , advertising and several short films including andrew desmond’s latest work “entity” which premiered in competition at gerardmer film festival and counting 50 selections worldwide .
the government found the law school in violation of gender equity law title ix last december , which the film cites as evidence of the school’s negligence in the willingham case .
at a panel introduced by university president drew faust , three college alumni discussed their work in creating
whiplash ,
a film about a jazz student and his instructor .
bollocks to tarmac , abs and gadgets that help you find your navel . the mongol rally is about getting lost , using your long neglected wits , raising shedloads of cash for charity and scraping into the finish line with your vehicle in tatters and a wild grin smeared across your grubby face .
mongol is , above all , a hollywood melodrama , that is , a story of love , fall , and redemption , in fact a story of a bourgeois nuclear family threatened by historical forces beyond the heroes ' control at the film ' s beginning . the lovers ' many separations caused by larger than life historical forces , enhanced by superb camerawork , editing , and cgi , end up with the eventual reunification of the protagonists . what gives this quintessentially western story an orientalizing spice is the identity of the protagonists and the film ' s setting . bodrov tells a story of the young genghis khan ( tadanobu asano ) and his first wife börte ( khulan chuluun ) set against the background of exotic central asian steppes and decorated with sartorial elegance by the film ' s award winning costume designer , karin lohr .
released in the spring , the film features kamilah willingham , a law school alumna , telling the story of what she describes as her and a friend’s experience being sexually assaulted by another law student during her time at the school . while he is not identified by name in the film , a press release names brandon winston as the alleged perpetrator .
the young girl became a world star after the picture of her on top of a canyon with an eagle on her forearm was taken during the festival and sent to major western media by israeli photographer , asher svidenski . directed by otto bell , the documentary film on aisholpan’s life ' the eagle huntress ' was released during the 2016 sundance film festival and has received many comments from both critics and viewers . even after traveling the world upon the film’s release , aisholpan’s bashful kind - heart and modest smile never once wavered .
the film has a visceral energy with powerful battle sequences and also scenes of striking and serene physical beauty . its only flaw : there might have been one battle too many .
thanks for your interest , christine . for an analysis of film performance by genre please see my november 17th post , china’s box office : a very good year so far .

yuan yuan : born and raised in shangdong province in china , yuan yuan attended beijing film academy for college and then obtained mfa from university of southern california peter stark producing program . with years of studying and working experience , she is now actively involved in the film business across china and the u . s . . her previous work varies from china - korea - us coproduction series “dramaworld” , which is on netflix and youku , and chinese theatrical film “dream breaker” , which is financed by jetavana and set to release in 2018 .
mongol tells of the rise of the man who would become genghis khan . it was planed as a trilogy , but the last two parts have yet be made . i enjoyed the movie and found it to be interesting and fantastic . the movie has a russian director . if this movie had a chinese director the film may have been seen in a different way . tadanobu asano is temudjin . he be more familiar as hogun in the two thor movies . as a japanese actor he portrays temudjin very well . the movie tells the story of temudjin in a series of flash backs . there were a few times i got a bit lost by this technique . but i was able to figure things out . the story is well told and well directed and i wish the other parts of the story had been made . i found some of the mongol customs were interesting . a boy nine choosing a future wife from a line up of young girls , because at age 12 he would marry her . much of the film was made in mongolia which helps add to the historical value of the movie . it is a very good film .
the movie entitled stalingrad is the first russian movie ever to be made completely in 3d and is also the first non - us film to be produced in the imax 3d makeup .
daisy ridley saw an early cut of this film , and loved it so much that she wanted to be a part of it . she is now credited as an executive producer .
for all its beautiful costumes , gorgeous landscapes and unflinching face - smashings , mongol is all style and very little substance . the life of genghis khan is difficult to research , but it is a pity bodrov couldn ' t fill in the holes with anything more robust than dorky sword - and - sorcery fanfic .
mongol
has a classic tagline -
greatness comes to those who take it
- that ' s right on the money for a sweeping , old - school epic . in recounting the early life of genghis khan , this outsized film offers everything you would want from an imposing historical drama : furious battles between mass armies , unquenchable love between husband and wife , blood brothers who become deadly enemies , and many episodes of betrayal and treachery among the warring tribes of the central asian steppes .
a film adaptation of literature is successful if it has stayed faithful to the novel . beyond fidelity : the dialogics of adaptation by robert stam points of that fidelity is key , but he questions if this is even possible in adaptations . fidelity is when a film stays true to the most important components and fundamentals of the novel . even if a director is “faithful” to what is being adapted , there is always going to be a difference . stam says , “an adaptation is automatically different because and original due to the change of medium” ( stam 543 ) . the mise - en - scene , lighting , and editing changes everything . he goes on to discuss different approaches of adaptations . a film can just capture the essence of the film , or it can be translated and transformed into a whole new twist . the plots and characters can be used from a literary text and transformed into a whole new world in a film .
andrei tarkovsky ’s second feature was a monumentally ambitious attempt to create a grand fresco of life in 15th - century russia . it’s centred around the eponymous icon painter ( played by anatoly solonitsyn ) , who wanders through a landscape ravaged by mongol invaders , experiencing an acute crisis of faith as he’s confronted with savagery and hopelessness .
and so they went filming , and by the time it reached theaters , word spread on how awful the film was . as of right now , it currently has a cult - following of those dedicated to watching bad films . it has made its way into books focusing on razzie potential material , and is known as that project that john wayne must have been insane to sign a contract with . what makes this even more of a shock is that this film came out the same year as the searchers , a film which is said by many to be the duke’s greatest performance .
visas are required but are easily obtained from embassies . foreigners should be registered for the term of stay in the country , which can be arranged by the local agent . there are no specific work permits for foreigners . film permits for the streets are generally not required , except in uzbekistan . there are no film or actors ' unions which means no imperative union rules . there no buyouts .
some were delivered by marlon brando playing the longshoreman terry malloy in the 1954 film “on the waterfront . ” malloy had lost a shot at a prizefighting title by taking a fall for easy money .
as a result , the film consists of one bloody scene of carnage after another , illustrated by hordes of warriors eviscerating one another while bright patches of blood burst upon the screen . at the center of the killing is invariably the khan , or leader , named temudgin ( tadanobu asano ) , who is not yet genghis khan , but be patient : this film is the first of a trilogy .
sequel hook : the film was originally proposed as the first of a trilogy , which is probably why temudgin lets jamukha go at the end . unfortunately , the sequels have gotten stuck in development hell .
the director together with the film’s producer alexander rodnyansky also thanked the the industry audience for their trust and support and had stated that the screening was held to cultivate positive word of mouth among the industry .
something else that really interested me was the repetition use of transportation . throughout the entire film , there were shots of trains , bikes , horse and buggies , cars , planes , and boats . i believe that vertov used these images to represent the movement of film . it shows that it is a new art form that has sprung from the stillness of photography into this great new movement of images .
mongol director sergei bodrov will serve as executive producer and creative consultant on english - language uk action - thriller knuckledust . the uk - france co - production comes from featuristic films and the project with shoot due to get underway in early 2017 from second - time writer - director james kermack ( hi - lo joe ) . screen daily press release

the charles theatre , often referred to as simply the charles , is the oldest movie theatre in baltimore .

the theatre is a beaux-arts building designed as a streetcar barn in 1892 by jackson c. gott , located in what is now the station north arts and entertainment district .

the theater was renamed the charles ( for its location on charles street ) circa 1959 and became a calendar revival house in 1979 .

many of john waters 's early films premiered at this theatre ; this honor has since shifted to the senator theatre .

in 1999 , it underwent a major expansion and is now a five-screen theater , though the original main theater has been left largely intact and is still the largest theater in the complex .

the charles now serves as an arthouse multiplex , showing a variety of independent films along with some major studio prestige pictures .

the main theatre hosts revival series and special screenings several times a week , as well as the occasional live concert performance .

the entire theater complex served as the host of the annual maryland film festival from 1999 until 2013 the charles sits just across the tracks of the northeast corridor from penn station , putting the theater within easy walking distance of amtrak , marc , and light rail service .

another light rail stop , university of baltimore/mt .

royal , is also close by .

the original structure , known as the baltimore city passenger railway power house and car barn , was listed on the national register of historic places in 1998 .

charles dance plays a villain named benedict . this could be a nod to arnold schwarzenegger ' s comedy film twins ( 1988 ) , where arnold played a character named benedict as well .
when prince charles hijacks the coronation by snatching the crown from the bishop ' s hands . he ultimately places it on prince william ' s head , but not before some scathing commentary .
eager to exercise his royal duties , prince charles clashes almost immediately with prime minister evans over a new bill for the statutory regulation of the press - the prime minister is for it , while prince charles wants the parliament to reconsider what effects the bill will have on freedom of speech . prince charles ' refusal to sign the bill into law creates a schism between the elected officials of the government and the hereditary rule of the royal family which threatens to tear even the united kingdom apart . complicating matters is prince harry ' s budding relationship with an opinionated republican .
some six decades later , on a mid - november day , the billionaire new york real estate developer was in west palm beach to talk to business and city leaders about his plans to redo the carefree theatre .
the 108 - year - old structures which house the charles boast a rich history . designed in 1892 by architect jackson c . gott for the baltimore traction company , the beaux - arts buildings were originally designed to be a cable car barn ( north side ) and a powerhouse ( south side ) . the buildings served as cable car facilities for four years after which they became a streetcar barn , a bus barn , a library for the blind , and the famous ballroom . in 1939 , the times theatre opened on the site as baltimore’s first all - newsreel movie house . the theater was re - named the charles circa 1959 and became a calendar revival house in 1979 . the charles remained a single - screen theater until 1999 , when a dramatic expansion was completed to accommodate four additional screening rooms . the new five - screen charles has a spacious , comfortable lobby and the four new screening rooms have stadium seating . the original auditorium still has 485 seats and has been altered only slightly .

during the past 15 years , kaplan has gotten to know cohen well enough to understand his design vision : “it’s clean and crisp , but with an edge . ” not surprisingly , kaplan is designing the lighting for the carefree theatre project .
in 1996 , he bought new york’s decoration & design building . over time , cohen has spent about $ 25 million redeveloped the vintage property , using noted classical architect allan greenberg , who also is the architect for the carefree theatre redevelopment .

king charles iii is a play by mike bartlett . premiering in 2014 , the dialogue is notable for being written entirely in blank verse iambic pentameter , leaning on the tradition of shakespeare ' s history plays ( it ' s even billed as a
future history
) . the narrative follows the royal family through the three months between the death of queen elizabeth ii and the coronation of the next in line for the throne : her son , prince charles of wales .
royals who actually do something : following the death of hm the queen , prince charles wants the monarchy to take a more active role in government . the government wants him to be a pen pushing president and stay out of their affairs .
i go to the charles quite a bit , and i think they mostly do a good job . sometimes a woody allen flick stays a long , long time while other films never make it , but i take it they know what they ' re do

breaking the fourth wall : done periodically by prince charles , prince william , duchess kate , and prince harry . they address the audience with their thoughts on the nature of government , the institution of monarchy , their role in the royal family , and the kind of legacy the ' ll be leaving for their children and future rulers .
artistic license - law : when charles refuses to grant assent to the media regulation bill , the prime minister retaliates by proposing a bill to strip the crown of its power to grant assent to any bill , which in normal constitutional circumstances can ' t make much progress in parliament without king ' s consent since it affects the royal prerogative .

i love the concept of this theater , but my most recent experience was a little frustrating . i bought tickets online , but the charles makes you stand in line at the counter to present your printed confirmation , instead of being able to use the confirmation as a ticket ( it has a bar code , which should make that possible . ) i felt like i paid an extra fee for added inconvenience . then , in the middle of our movie , someone on the staff decided it was a good time to fix the theater door with an electric screwdriver . when i told a staff member about it after the fact , i was told that they were concerned the door wasn ' t closing properly and that would allow too much noise into the theater . it ' s puzzling that they thought the screwdriver was a better option . the charles could definitely stand to improve the customer experience .
throughout the show , prince charles , prince william , duchess kate , and prince harry make asides to the audience about their roles in the royal family , the institution of monarchy , the legacy they ' ll be leaving for future generations , and the nature of government . all must choose how they wish to see the traditions of the monarchy continued in the british isles , and then convince the others that their course of action is the best .

the impact and influence of charles dickens ' a christmas carol on the way the holiday is celebrated in britain and the u . s . can ' t be denied . many of our notions of what makes a
traditional
christmas come straight from the dickens story , even though many older
traditional
winter holiday customs were being practiced long before dickens ' tale appeared in 1843 . in fact , our present - day holiday celebrations borrow from many different cultures and religious practices .
loooooooooove this theatre . i ' m a huge fan of their anime nights , during the week they generally play the subbed version of the film and on saturday mornings they play the dubbed version . the auditoriums are small - ish compared to a modern theater , but i ' ve never had trouble finding a good spot . i ' ve never bothered with the snack bar , however , the prices look reasonable and the popcorn always smells so good . there ' s street parking , but i always park at the garage across the street for $ 2 .
nice to see it still going strong ! i remember when it was a dingy two - screen hold out in a block desolate but for club charles ( rip ) . glad this place is still here - the true anchor of station north . industrial chic decor , large comfy seats , excellent choice of indy movies , friendly staff , and lots of restaurants next door . parking easy if you pay 3 bucks for garage . and they accept movie pass . very nice long - term city institution going strong !
let me say that i ' ve been going here for many years , even before they converted to multiple screens . drove a half hour . gave the guy a fifty dollar bill , as that was all that i had .
sorry we don ' t take fifties
. so they didn ' t get my 9 . 50 for ticket and the 10 . 00 or more that i would have spent on food or drink . funny , i thought ticket sales for theatres have been declining . apparently , the charles doesn ' t want cash customers .
the filming involved a 3 : 00 p . m . to 3 : 00 a . m . , seven - day , shutdown of six - block times square area in new york city for the production . originally , a giant 75 - foot balloon of arnold schwarzenegger held three few sticks of dynamite in the balloon ' s hand but , following the then - recent 1993 bombing of the world trade center , richard brick , commissioner of the new york city mayor ' s office of film , theatre and broadcasting and gary martin , president of production at columbia pictures agreed to change the prop to a badge .
what an awesome tiny treasure ! after trying to find the movie lion , i was extremely frustrated when it was out of the theaters near me . imagine my surprise when i discovered charles theater ( which is a shame because i am all things baltimore ) . i had to go ! the decorations speak to the films of yesteryear and the support of indie projects is refreshing as i ' m a filmmaker myself . the popcorn was just right and i was definitely comfortable . the only downside is it got chilly towards the end of the movie but it lasted no more than fifteen minutes . the heat was definitely off .
charles theater presents a trip to the university of baltimore neighborhood . i just saw la la land here and it was perfect on this big old screen . . . in an old theater . . . in the wonderful reviving station north . . . in wonderful old baltimore . it took me back . . . its the old theater experience where you line up for a ticket , then for popcorn . . . and then to get into the actual theater itself . you walk in and it just opens before your eyes . . . really large theater for the big shows and some smaller ones . a little of the old plush red left in the theater with some new comfort in the seats . they play art films and some other biggies too . . . those nominated for oscars . they will be showing film noir classic , the third man too ! the thing that is great is that folks come in off the old streets . . . piling in this great historic place . and what a potential date night with the classic club charles across the street , tapas teatro , the hot new colette next door , pen & quill on the same block . bottega and joe squared two blocks . a crazy old diner too . penn station train station next door , a crapery . and a hipster coffee house called bamf ! . all just steps from the university of baltimore .
while i commend the theater for showing movies that are not being shown in the national chains , my first experience of the charles had left me not wanting to return . the theater had us worrying in the lobby and only let us into the theater ten minutes after the movie started . when we complained to the management , they would not refund our money or offer any kind of compensation . instead , they made excuses about how they were unprepared for the holiday crowds and underestimated how long it would take to check tickets . i have a hard time believing that . did they just open this year ? if they knew they were late letting people enter , why start the movie on time ? they could have waited . or given attendees a free popcorn .
baltimore ' s venerable art house cinema . i ' ve visited many times over the decades and again last night for the 9 : 20 showing of
the death of stalin .
i brought my son who has an interest in some of the other attractions and anime . maybe he ' ll visit more often than i . great help . comfortable seats . cheap parking in the garage across the street . food options at adjoining tapas teatro and sofi ' s . the movie ? a scream . satire amid despotism and chaos . my son now wants to read up on soviet history and its brutality . that ' s a huge undertaking . but , the charles and surrounding food and drink joints will empower ye to have a decent night out on the town . have fun ! !
this place has such a nostalgic and authentic vibe to it i can ' t get enough . as a frequent movie goer that has trouble finding films in theaters that are sometimes indie or documentaries charles is always my first place to check . they like to keep a variety of different films playing at all times and usually you can find something you want to see . the ticket prices are also not as pricey as some of the other theaters in the area so that is definitely a plus ! being able to grab food and drinks next door at tapas is a huge plus and i love grabbing some sangria from there before i head into my film . so to those of you wondering yes you can bring drinks over from next door . recently saw the big sick there which was amazing and seeing step documentary soon !
i come here for all of the indie films that don ' t come to the regular theaters . i love that people who frequent this theater are all liked minded - - because truly , only a certain type of movie goer comes to this place . the theater has mostly the same things as a normal theater as far as concessions . they even have a side restaurant to get small plates from before or after the movie . there are plenty of restaurants up and down charles to eat at before or after your movie too . my only criticism is that the theater is pretty classic . this is awesome in a sense , but the seating is not quite stadium style in all the theater rooms , the screens are not huge and the surround sound is just basic . but i already decided that when i come here its more about the movie and less about the theater experience .
