I saw Journey to the Center of the Earth there, and 2001 years later.

Great photos.  Are those church pews in the front?  Nice beer selection as well.  Maybe we can get some Bold City Red in there at some point.  8)

Man, talk about a turn around.  Club 5 really tore that place up.  I'm glad to see it revived to its original granduer (for the most part).

Love the beer selection too!

Great news and it's about time!!!  I'm proud to say that I went there when it was a theater in the mid and late 70's, River City Playhouse in the 80's, and used to ride by and see the crowds there when it was club 5 in the 1990's.  Now if I am in Jax, I will definitiely take in a movie at Five Points Theater!

Welcome back old friend! For me it was "HOW THE WEST WAS WON." 1962.

One of the best venues for bands to play, and I'm still not a fan of it being a theater again. Now, bands get Jackrabbits, Freebird, Plush (maybe?), and other bedroom sized clubs to play at. I'm not looking for approval or agreement with my opinion on the matter, it's just the very place I had been going to since I was 12 years old (94) to see bands perform. SO many memories, all gone.

I can still see the bird cages hanging from the ceiling, the chicks used to dance in on Monday nights. Its cool its a theater again. Its good to see the 5Points Theater and The Ritz back in the game.

Hey Everybody!  Zack and Miri is wrapping up this Thursday night, so you better come see it while you can. 

If James Bond is more your thing, be among the first to see it.  We'd love to do more midnight movies in general, if enough people show up.

The specials on the flyer are good opening night or for any showing of "Quantum of Solace"!

Ive had several friends tell me that they printed out the coupon (for Zack and Miri....) and used them and that they loved the theatre.

Good job!

The 5 Points Theatre back in the movie business

For all who cherish neighborhood bars, mom and pop restaurants and local boutiques, you now have another movie theater to add to your hometown commerce roster. The 5 Points Theatre in Riverside returned to its roots and reopened last month as a movie house that shows those zany "talkies" so popular with the kids. One screen, one concession stand, one heckuva display of baked goods.

I wonder why Pete left Yellowcard and now manages a theater? Not that I'm knocking his actions, just kinda wondering. As long as Inspection 12 don't go anywhere, all is well :D

Twilight open tonight, with shows at 7 pm and 9:30 pm.

Come down and enjoy First Friday for a while, and then catch the movie.

I've attached a coupon for Twilight below.   Just print out the image and bring it in:


Finally, we are proud to announce that we now have heat.  That's right - heat.

Finally, in answer to deathstar's question, Inspection 12 is scheduled for two shows
around Christmas.  They're not going anywhere soon.
