"Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."
Thank goodness for movie theatres, where, if we choose judiciously, we can escape said life pain, if only for a few hours.
And The Guru happens to believe the movie The Princess Bride, from whence our pain quote originates, is about the best move for escape, humor, and joy, and its being screened at one of this year's Best of the Best finalists, The Apollo Theatre (above), as are many more classics - both cult and traditional. Plus, it also features live performances and events.
And for that traditional comforting movie experience, visit winner Berkeley Plaza 7, this year's Best of the Best winner. But don't stop there, because when it's too hot out or too cold out -- and cranky Guru insists it's one or the other 10 months out of the year -- what better places to cool off or cozy up and escape life?
