Did anyone see this article in the LA Times about the Westwood Crest? I LOVE this theatre and I am sad to see that it is having difficulties.  I know that I am an old soul, but I really do prefer the single screen theatre to the megaplex.  For one thing, The Westwood Crest is a beautiful theatre with fantastic art deco design and a long history.  I find that most multiplexes are like glorified boxes that completely lack personality or imagination in their design.  I also hate when I am trying to see a thoughtful drama at a multiplex only to hear giant booms or explosions from the action film playing in the adjacent theatre.  The problem is that Mr. Bucksbaum has only been able to get films like the poorly reviewed 88 MINUTES or films long after they’ve played at other theatres.  I am sure it is very hard operating a theatre as an independent, instead of being part of a chain. I have contacted Mr. Bucksbaum and I told him that I will do anything I can to help him get the theatre declared a historic Landmark.  That place is far too beautiful to become an office space, condo or a swap meet.  That just can’t happen.   http://www.filmradar.com/karies_blog/item/the_westwood_crest/
