Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me. - Tim Burton

Greetings fair readers!  While Maria is enjoying ocean views and listening to motivational speeches (aka drinking the company kool-aid) I will be your guest writer for the day.  I hope to live up to her high standard of blogging.

I hate to sound old fashioned, but remember when you could actually afford to go out to the movies?  Whenever we wanted to go see a movie, inevitably we end up going to a Redbox, downloading a film, or falling asleep on the couch without being entertained.  Milwaukee’s Rosebud Cinema is the answer to the high priced chain theaters and their absurd previews, snarky teenage ushers, and bland food choices.

Rosebud Cinema is located in the Washington Heights neighborhood and is a throwback to an old fashioned movie theater.  Rosebud only screens one movie at a time, usually running for a week or two.  It is not a multi screened behemoth, but the selection of films offers something for everyone.  Rosebud is currently showing  the brand new “Captain America”, but is scheduled to show the children’s movie “Winnie the Pooh”, classic “Back to the Future Three”, Alfred Hitchcock’s creepy “The Birds” and the cult classic “Gremlins”. 

The things that make this cinema so memorable are the seating and the food selections.  While a standard movie theater offers popcorn, candy and other mass produced corn syrup based products; Rosebud offers a full menu of deliciousness.  Pizza, hot dogs, sandwiches, subs, almonds, and other junk foods are readily available.  I also have to mention the FULL BAR for the of age adults in the audience.  There are many local beers on tap, and a full selection of hard alcohol for anyone who wants to enjoy a stronger drink.  

The theater itself uses full size couches and love seats for all, which leads to a more comfortable viewing experience.  It’s so much more enjoyable to actually relax in your seat, than elbow fight with the stranger on
your left. So fellow readers, Rosebud Theater is a great Milwaukee place to grab a great bite to eat, cuddle up, stretch out, and enjoy a great movie!
