Looks like the Copley Place theater is closing. Can't say I'm surprised, although I'm a little bit sorry. They were a lousy theater but they were also the best bet for second run art flicks in Boston. Not, mind you, that I got down there very often. It's a pity, regardless.

I'm a little surprised that Copley Place can't support a theater. But I agree, I don't get down there very often. I think the last movie I saw down there was...lord, Equilibrium.

I think the top-quality screens at the Boston Common and the Fenway killed it. It had really, really lousy screens. Lemme see... I saw Equilibrium there too -- I think it was the only place that played around here -- and I saw City of God there. And, I mean, if I wanted to see the Woodsman right now, or Sean Penn's The Assassination of Richard Nixon, I'd have to go down there.

But these are not exactly big draws, I must admit.

It's not very convenient if you don't have a car, but if you're in one of those situations where you're trying to figure out another option about where to grab a showing of some particular mid sized indie/foreign/art film, keep the Landmark Embassy in Waltham in the back of your mind. Right now they're playing The Woodsman, Closer, Million Dollar Baby, Bad Education, Life Aquatic etc etc.

Useful! I will keep that in mind.
