Let’s Catch a Flick!

Build It.

In the ’80s and mid ’90s the movie theater scene around the outskirts of Tokyo, near Tachikawa and Hachioji, was horrible. For a few years, Tachikawa did not have a movie theater at all and Hachioji had one screen with sticky floors and ’70s speakers. It was dismal. But that has all changed recently. In the general Tama (多摩) area, we now have the following cinema complexes either built or being built:

Tachikawa: CINEMA・TWO&CINEMACITY ^[1]
Fuchu: TOHO THEATER ^[2]
Shin Tokorozawa: CINEMA BOX ^[3]
Hachioji: Welcome to New Hachioji Cinema ^[4]
Minami Oosawa: TOHO THEATER ^[5]
Tama Center: Warner Mycal ^[6] Opens 11/15.
Akishima: Movix ^[7] Opens in 2006. No information available on site.

Those are places I would consider within striking distance.

Be Heard!

Currently, we give our money to Cinema City ^[8] in Tachikawa. Cinema City ^[8] has introduced Cinema Council ^[9]. Cinema Council allows Cinema City members to vote for movies they want to see. For example, currently, Tim Burton’s latest flick is playing. The question is, which old Tim Burton flicks do you want to see?
