The Roxy Movie Theater in a Nutshell

(Guys from Fright Flick at the Roxy Theater during the BareBones Film Festival)

Our BareBones Film Festival recaps provided by Zachary Hadden in July included movies screened at the Roxy Movie Theater. Today, I am sharing a writeup that Hadden sent to me on this movie venue for all of you who want to become more familiar with the Roxy Theater.

The Roxy Theater in Muskogee, OK deserves merit though it doesn’t normally show films. It is a community theater which provides for most venues of entertainment. It is probably one of the oldest functioning theaters in Oklahoma. You could almost imagine cowpokes coming off a cattle drive sitting down to an evening of dancing and stage productions as the piano player hammers out a tin sounding folk tune. Today it has been restored to fine seating, nice sound system, updated, clean rest rooms and a small concessions area.

The movies are viewed just like the early silent films except they use large projector screens instead of a white sheet. The only other things missing are the hooping and the hollering, the ten gallon hats, the sound of the clickety-clack sound of the movie projector and the smoke filled air coming from the freshly rolled tobacco cigarettes and cigars. Definitely a blast from the past.

It is a good choice for the BareBones Festival. This is where movies began. SO if you are expecting to walk into a modern theater with reclining seats, multiple 16:9 screens, and a concession stand that gouges you pocketbook, think again. It is perfect just the way it is.

Zachary Hadden is a filmmaker and movie reviewer who likes to find "the real worker bees" behind successful movies.

The Room Sells Out Despite being Worst Movie Ever

So, I just watched this new story about a movie that's "so bad, it's good" according to ABC news. While The Room has been called the worst movie ever made, it has millions of fans around the country who are even willing to watch this "worst movie" multiple times. Screenings for The Room are jam packed with movie fans arriving early to get in but I'm not sure that this is the type of attention that independent film producers want to aspire. Still, I hope that the main actor who also wrote and produced The Room was able to get back that $6 million (yes, you read that right!) budget he raised for this film.

One audience member who waited in line for The Room said he didn't know what this movie was about but he just knew he had to see it before he died. That is one of the main aspects of this odd news story that stood out and maybe there actually IS an audience for even the "worst" films that share a category with The Room . Just when I thought some of my movies were sketchy....something like this happens.

What is the worst movie you've seen so far this year?
