9 reviews for Baxter Avenue Theatres
Did I have to come to this theatre the same night as the opening of "New Moon?" Just my luck, I guess. Normally, I go to this arthouse cinema palace to avoid the teens, but this evening, they just could not be avoided. Besides this evening, I've never really seen teens at the theater (besides myself about ten years ago).
This is the only theatre in town where you could see a small indie film or a foreign picture. Since the Vogue is gone, this is the only movie theatre where you could catch "Rocky Horror" as well. Baxter Avenue is always clean, the audience is normally respectful, and you can generally catch a different kind of film where you don't have to sacrifice your intelligence to be entertained. I will always choose this theatre over Tinseltown and most often over Stonybrook.
Man, on the way out of the 5:25 showing of the Fantastic Mr. Fox I was wondering what all the teenagers were doing in the lobby. We lucked out, big time. I love the Baxter but Mister thought the screen and theatre were small. He's used to the auditorium seating not "old school" theatres.
He was relieved the movie was funny and didn't have any parts that made him cry- thanks to Where the Wild Things Are and Astroboy. He's empathetic like his father was when he was younger. I hope he gets over it quicker since it serves no purpose but to get you screwed over. He's the best, and I'm glad he enjoyed the movie although I sensed some apprehension from him about where the movie was going at times.Popcorn was okay,didn't drink any of his root beer but he liked it and wondered if we could buy the movie when it came out on DVD.He's always planning ahead.
In 2012, cataclysmic earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tidal waves send John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Woody Harrelson and Thandie Newton racing across the globe toward a modern-day Noah's ark. Director Roland Emmerich says he was inspired by the ancient Mayan doomsday prophecy and other jittery theories as he prepared to go back to the future. "I'm glad every two years visual effects take a leap forward," says the disaster master. "But it all starts with a concept, not effects." And that concept is? "The characters have to get aboard a ship or they're dead. The government people all know what's happening and have moral discussions about whether they're doing the right thing. John Cusack plays one of the people who don't know, and he views the disasters as a way to reconcile his life. Then there's Woody Harrelson, the crazy guy in the middle who thinks it's all about spaceships. There's a balance between intimate scenes, action and laughs, and people who've seen it told me they cried. That balance doesn't work every time; this time it really does."

When you get sick of loud mouth teenagers in pants three sizes too big yammering like fools during the film that you just paid nine bucks to see, go to Baxter Avenue Theatres.
The fact is that BAT pays homage to film, cinema. Don't expect to see the latest action flick staring "The Rock" here. However, if you just love arthouse and foreign film, this is the ONLY option in Louisville.
Especially since they've turned the Vogue into a freakin' strip mall.
The film has subtitles -- just what you wanted on a Thursday night.
Get there early for the tickets then duck into City Cafe next door for a glass of good wine before the movie.
But don't miss the previews because the seats are comfortable and the projectionist is a professional. Sit back and enjoy the show.
My favorite theater in Louisville. I'm really bothered by people talking during films and it always seems to happen whenever I let one of my friends talk me into meeting them at any other theater besides Baxter. The selection of movies is also superior to any other theater in town. I often go to Baxter and see films by myself and it's not at all uncomfortable whereas I could imagine it may be at other places.
No complaints really- this place rules.
Once upon a time this place would have been a definite 5 for me, but even though many of the indie flicks have disappeared, it's still a pretty terrific theater.
I moved to Louisville from San Francisco and the Baxter compares favorably to Embarcadero Cinemas in San Francisco.
Best theatre in Louisville for independent and art house films. Shows movies that the others won't.
