Anymore, it seems like almost every theater out there is a generic, cookie-cutter, corporate-owned place. Not this one. The Rialto is a small theater- yep, one movie at a time, ...

A classic theater that needs some TLC 12/28/2002

Right now it's literally rusting away but with a nice new paint job, the installation of a proper screen and sound system, and new seats this could be a palace. It has a lot of history but it needs to be maintained. Pros: Historical theater, Featured in films, Shows cult movies Cons: Falling apart, Bad screen, Bad sound more

Movie-Trippin 5/30/2002

I wouldn't exactly call it a LUXURY theater, but any theater that has this level of art deco styling (including the HEAD OF A SNAKE carved out above the movie screen) is a-ok with me. They haven't retrofitted the place in a while, but the bonus is: the admission is cheap and so is the concession stand! more

A great offbeat choice 5/16/2002

South Pasadena scores points for having a movie theater as cool as the Rialto. It's an old theater, but it bears the weight of its years gracefully. (Check out the lobby display for info on the theater's history). The seats aren't particlularly comfortable, but there's something inescapably grand about coming to a one-screen movie palace. Perhaps because you're not seeing a movie--you're seeing THE movie. In any case, the Rialto doesn't play the usual selection of films, so keep the schedule handy--you'll almost certainly find something you'll want to see. Pros: cool ambience, offbeat selection Cons: uncomfortable seats more
