In addition to what others have said, I'd like to add that the Nu-Art is THX certified. Not many arthouse/single-theater cinemas in Los Angeles are. So if you do see a current or recent release here, be assured you'll hear the soundtrack as it should be heard. On the other hand, no parking (same with Royal down the street) so you have to hunt around the surrounding neighborhood or down Santa Monica Blvd. for parking.
Nu-Art stands out for its programming of anime and Asian films too! Saw METROPOLIS and the COWBOY BEBOP movie here recently as well as Tsui Hark's TIME AND TIDE.
Pros: eclectic films, comfy seats, big screen/THX sound
Cons: must hunt for parking
