When I suggest to my sweetie ""Let's go to the movies!""( ...and I don't mean a ""Block-Buster"" night either)usually he doesn't have to ask where to! For our bohemian living expenses: 'caviar& champagne taste--beer & burger' budget , the ""Movies 10 In Matthews"" is our best bet! \r
Considering it's commonly referred to by locals as ""The Dollar Theater"", it operates as a first class movie house..just less expensive!\r
It's set far enough from the ever busy highway to not be considered a road hazard ..BUT the brightly lit,colorful facade of the theater can be easily seen by on the road travelers . There is a spacious arcade that caters to all, from families with small children as well as couples who want to duke it out on the video games or table hockey ! I especially appreciate the addition of 'old school' favorites like ""Ms. Pac-Man"" and ""Galaga"" for those who remember a time before PlayStations and XBoxes! \r
As for the concession area there are at least two( If I remember correctly) snack areas: a main one and a satellite stand near the movie hall entrances, perfect for that last minute decision to go with the hot buttered popcorn,soda and candy combo! I could go on about all the various weekly specials, but next time you're in the Charlotte-Matthews area..don't just take my word for it...... check it our for yourself..you won't be sorry!!!!!
Pros: Inexpensive tickets and Top movie selsctions only a few months older than standard box office fare!
Cons: Noisy, loitering teens but even that is improving! Go ushers! YAY!
