Comments: Stuck back in a corner of Westwood, the Plaza is the home of the Midnight shows Fridays and Saturdays that started way back when at the Festival on Sunday nights. (For a schedule, check the revival times list or their new web site: www.mannplaza.com)
The manager and projectionist take great care in finding good prints and making sure their theater is as good as it can look and sound. For these films, it's the best you can get 95% of the year, if anyone else shows them at all.
For first run films, it's not always my first choice -- I think it sounds a little odd in here. Due to a design problem waaaay back whenever, the L and R speakers aren't mounted behind the screen; they're hanging on either side of it. I personally think it makes it sound pretty weird (too loud and too separated for those channels) but it never seems to bother anyone else I know. Who knows. I'm probably imagining it. Still beats most multiplex screens over a couple of years old.
