This theater is close to the UNCC campus which is great for a night out to the movies with friends. For a Regal theater this location is very well priced with tickets only $7 (more for 3D movies). We stop at this location frequently and we always have a great time. The condition of the theater is okay, not the best type of seating and the theater tends to be sometimes cold but overall you will enjoy your experience at Starlight.

The absolute meanest, strangest owner I've ever seen in an establishment. They had a broken bathroom door and when I exited the bathroom immediately slam shot knocking me forward hitting my elbow and arm. When I told the owner He told me to get the fuck out of his restaurant. All I was trying to do was warn him because a little kid literally could have been killed by that door. I have spoken to many people that live around the area and they've had very bad experiences there as well.

Everyone knows rooster fighting is illegal and usually breaks up early on Sunday morning. Last week having lost my shirt at the fights, I was topless and hungry wandering around South Phoenix and found The Duce. The place had everything Companion and I needed. First, being shirtless, there is a clothes store. I purchased matching vintage gray sweatshirt from my Alma Mater, "Tech". Second, alcohol. Waiting patiently until the clock struck "10" and the bar opened, I ordered two spicy Bloody Marys, which did not disappoint. What DID disappoint was the celery stick which was the size of a Louisville Slugger. I should know, because it felt like a baseball bat when Companion whacked me across the head with hers because I said she DID look fat in the sweatshirt. Finally, nourishment. The egg/bacon/cheese sliders were a good choice for reconciliation between Companion and I, especially on the sunny patio. The sun did not shine for long, though, because to make a long story short, her second Bloody Mary ended up forcibly on my new sweatshirt, leaving me alone at The Duce. Not a bad place to be!

One of the reasons I like Yelp is the opportunity to find small, local places you would seldom be able to find on your own. Dick's Hideaway last night was such an experience. You would never find it if you didn't have the actual street address, there is no sign outside! Once you are inside it's something else. A long bar facing the open kitchen was packed with at least a dozen diners. A handful of tables in front of the bar and in an adjacent room were equally packed at 8:45. I went inside and found no host, when a pleasant guy who turned out to be host, bartender, server asked us to wait on the sidewalk and handed us a short wine list with very good selections. Before he could deliver our glasses he told us two seats were open at the bar and we were seated. The menu is predominately New Mexican dishes. My wife had the Santa Fe style pork enchiladas and I had the New Mexico platter with a chile relleno and chicken burro, all with the green chile sauce. I have to say, we spent a week in Santa Fe a couple of years ago and the food at Dick's was every bit as good as anywhere we ate in Santa Fe. Their tiny kitchen cranks out some very good food. The portions were large; I would recommend splitting a salad. A couple who sat next to us at the bar split the most expensive item on the menu, rack of lamb at $42, and seemed very happy. I will definitely plan to visit Dick's again next time we are in Phoenix, fun and good food and wine.
