Bad Movies / Re: Cinemas long gone

Last post by claws - January 26, 2026, 04:09:30 AM

Germany's local cinema scene—once defined by 'Village' and 'Suburban' theaters—began to fade in the late 50s. By the 1970s, the rise of home television had made these small venues a rarity. The last local theater in my area closed in the mid-90s, marking the end of an era just as giant multiplexes started popping up everywhere.

That said, our small town has a "movie theater." Never been but it is part of our town's local cultural scene. They show very local films (local dialect, with little to zero mainstream appeal) and short films, and sometimes documentaries, also strictly local.

This was one of the last cinemas in Sunnyside, Pretoria.

I saw many films there as a student in the late 80s and early 90s.

Tonight's Stinker
Avengers Grimm: Time Wars(2018)

Fairy tale characters Alice (through The Looking Glass), Snow White, Red Riding Hood & Sleeping Beauty are butt kicking girl bosses who work for A group that tries to keep fairy tale characters from destroying the world....
Magda, queen of Atlantis has followed an escaped Prince Charming to the modern world, sends fish men to destroy the city, and manages to send the girls back to fairy tale land, from which they must escape & stop Magda from marrying Prince Charming...

Pretty fast paced action comedy....
The first half feels pretty convoluted & confusing, but starts to make sense after a while...
Sorta plays out like an unsold television pilot...
