Getting the movie you want at the Palace
We do not pick the new release movies that are played at the Palace. For that reason… if there is a specific movie that you want to see, sometimes YOU need to bring it to us. We get most big releases, but small releases are pretty rare for us. The studios have very targeted areas for their movies and their …
Is this movie appropriate?
Movie theaters are weird. We don’t have any control over the product we sell (movies). Not only do we not have any say in what gets made, we also don’t get to pick what comes to us. We are not well versed in every movie that comes through. We do not get any special treatment from the studio. They do …
Creating a Movie Palace tradition

Baby, it’s cold outside… and I’m bored
I love this weather…. IF… I don’t have to be out in it for long periods of time. I also don’t sit idle very easily, so if you’re like me… I need things to do.

Turn $2 into $2000 by eating popcorn…Seriously.
The first memory I have of Brad Mizer is from a student council retreat during my freshman year of high school.

Good Morning, Summer Series…
