Thank all you folks for your kind words. I am glad our efforts are noticed. We have a great staff and great patrons. Also, please check out our Six Forks location.
Plesae let us know what you like about our theatre and on what we can improve at our Colony, Mission Valley, Rialto, and Six Forks cinemas.
See ya at the movies,
Bill Peebles

Despite Crank’s admonition about not to mention it…..I will not that Cinema, Inc. just selected the films for its 2007/2008 season: http://www.cinema-inc.org/07_08_Schedule.htm
It is the usual varied list and I am looking forward to them all!

I scan this site periodically hoping that most of Raleigh’s true hidden gems will remain hidden. Please keep all references to Cinema Inc and similar venues to yourself and close family.
Let’s hear it for the RALEIGH GRANDE!

I’ve recently found this great little blog while doing some completely unrelated research and am glad I did. As a die hard movie fan (and ex movie theatre worker and manager over Chapel Hill way for many years), I’m glad to see there are others who share my love for The Colony.
Every comment you make right about the technical aspects being followed is dead on and I suspect will *always* be that way, even though I’m sure the need for a projectionist is all too quickly dying out as film is being savaged for DVD and other (read: cheaper to distribute, show, and milk for every dollar) technologies in the biz. I’ve seen the future of film presentation and it’s scary. But it’s the professionalism, attention to patrons, and willingness to show ‘the small gems’, are what makes a theatre away from simply being entertainment to being a much loved place to visit and meet friends…regardless of what’s on screen. Forget all the multiplexes with the copycat boxes; give me genuine devotion to the art every day.
The Colony does it right and the way it should be…and I warmly promote them to anyone and everyone I can. Not sure it’s a No 1 (and again, not a knock, just an observation as someone else has stated previously), but definitely in the top 8 for certain.
