Shepherdstown

On Friday Liz and I went to go see Hot Fuzz at the Shepherdstown Opera House.

It's a shame that I still had not been there to see a movie given that I have lived out here for over 3 years now. It's this really old building with really old seats that luckily plays new movies. Their website also mentions live music.

I'm not a movie review guy, but I will say that it was funny. A lot of gore. A lot of smoking, drinking, fighting, shooting, murder and mayhem.....but it was still funny. It's not often you can see a cop jump kick a shotgun wielding 90 year old woman in the face and finding your self happily amused that he did it.

Inside, the theatre is really small. Seating capacity is probably only 100 people or so. And the seats are really stiff. Your butt is OK as long as it's a good movie with lots of action or at least hysterically funny. If you try to take a date there for a long chick flick they'd be carrying you out on a stretcher. But there were some nice touches.

Beer and wine sales, for example. 2 thumbs up.
Real butter melted on a hot plate for the popcorn. 2 thumbs up.
Movie that I'd have to drive for an hour to see anywhere else. 2 thumbs up.
