A little bit of PIX

People go to movie theaters to see movies, they usually don't take time to look around the establishment or have a short conversation with an employee. The movie is why they are there but wouldn't it be nice to be able to enjoy the experience completely?

From the first time that you enter the PIX Theater in downtown Albany, you enter an environment not found in bigger theaters. It's warm and inviting and the ambiance is perfected by the style and decor. It's not just a movie theater, it's an experience that you don't get anywhere else.

As you walk through the door, you get the feeling like you’ve entered a different time period. You see photographs of old movie actors and of movie theaters as well. It may be small but it’s inviting.

“I really enjoy working here,” Bonnie Thompson said. She’s worked there since the PIX opened and loves every minute of it.

The concessions were reasonable with non-alcoholic drinks named Marilyn Monroe, Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant just to name a few. It seems that the past big screen stars still draw movie goers in.

"The theater is nice," John Beck, a local student, said. "The sound is clear and the qualities of the movies are above decent."

Entering the theater you notice that the seating isn’t like the normal seating in a movie theater. It starts with stadium seating and then slopes up near the middle so that each movie goer gets the same enjoyment. When you sit down, you sink into the seat as if you were sitting in a couch.

It’s an experience all of its own. From the drinks to the employees to the atmosphere, it’s a place where people can be comfortable and relax, eat popcorn and enjoy the movie.
