BEST PLACE TO SEE A MOVIE IN MAINE, the Railroad Square Cinema in Waterville, ME.

They have many movie festivals there all year, and sometimes famous actors attend the awards programs (actor, director, writer, John Turturro).

You will always find very friendly people there, quite willing to discuss their favorite movies, and give you movie tips.

If I have to drive the 100 miles to Bangor to shop, I sometimes drive the extra 50 miles (300 mile round trip in one day) to see a good movie and eat at the Mexican, Buen Apetito, restaurant, in the adjoining lobby.  They make the best avocado dip I've ever tasted, and their freshly baked chips are great, PLUS THE MEXICAN FOOD IS CHEAP AND GOOD TASTING.

In this video, I run in to JAK, an employee at the cinema, and a graduate from a NY City film school, who sometimes makes his own movies, none of them famous yet.  EVERYONE YOU MEET AT RAILROAD SQUARE CINEMA WILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE!

PS Might I also highly recommend BAD LIEUTENANT: Port of Call New Orleans, both for it's message of redemption, the performance by Nicolas Cage, and the visual photography (look out for the alligator...not the dead one in the road, but the one after that scene, as one of the best iconic projections in a movie that I have ever seen).

By the way, I have not ruined the movie by one centimeter, as they could NOT have put an alligator in the road, and it barely has anything to do with the movie.

But you can tell Werner Herzog was directing, when you see this visual projection of the second alligator.

FOR THAT FIVE SECOND SCENE ALONE, the movie is worth watching, plus many others. The movie deals with our various addictions, and how we struggle to overcome them, if we can.
