Entertainment: Eau Claire Cinemas
The closest theatre to Art's Place Guest House is Eau Claire Cinemas, a Cineplex Odeon theatre.
Eau Claire cinema is in the heart of downtown Calgary which close enough to walk if you have a bit of time, and enjoy that kind of thing. (and if the weather is nice, but that goes without saying). Plus there is much more to see at Eau Claire with Prince's Island and its festivals, the ducks and forever hungry trout to feed, and the trendy little mall that always seems to have manager tenant issues. It could be so much better, but still, there are some really neat shops there.
Eau Claire Cinemas has recently taken over the IMAX theatre which is more or less next door to the theature in Eau Claire Shopping Mall. Access to the IMAX was previously from the main floor of the mall when it was independant, but since they are no longer operating and the cinema took over the space, access is from the upstairs near the entrance to the other theatres. It is a bit awkward, because if you want popcorn and snacks, you have to enter the theatres, then leave that space and enter the public mall area, in order to access the IMAX. The neat thing about it is being able to see IMAX films for the same rate as any other movie, not 3$ more like Chinook theatre charges for the IMAX films there. I imagine they will be renovating to so that the access is from behind the box office where you enter all of the other theatres. They need extra staff to handle the current set up.
We saw The Incredibles recently at Eau Claire and were pleasantly surprised that it was in the IMAX (now called theatre 6, I think). The only problem was the temperatre required me to keep my coat on during the entire show.
The other night we saw Spanglish, with Adam Sandler. I'm not generally a fan of his work, but I did enjoy this very cute movie. My favorite character was played by Cloris Leachman, who sobered up while everyone was entagled in their issues, and no one noticed.
And tonight we saw "Meet the Fockers". I'm not much of a Ben Stiller fan, but I do like Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman. We go to these things and we laugh, and hope that there aren't really people out there like that.
