Where Can You Watch Movies?

Phase Two is officially in effect, but that doesn’t mean every theater is open

The smell of popcorn and a giant soda in hand seems like a piece of nostalgia from long ago. And even as Deschutes County enters into Phase Two reopening guidelines, which gives theaters the green light, there are still obstacles preventing all of the theaters in the area from opening. One, obviously, is space. Making […]

What to Watch: “Clementine”

From Tribeca to BendFilm, the Oregon-filmed thriller is now available to rent digitally

20 for 2020

Looking ahead, the year in film looks fantastic

It’s horrible! The year 2019 is barely over and I’m already swooning for the movies coming out in 2020. I feel like I’m cheating on what turned out to be a fantastic year at the movies with the younger and newer upstart. That said: Holy hell! This new year has me way too excited for […]

Top 20 Movies of 2019

Another excellent year… with too many good movies to choose just 10

I just can’t do a top 10. There are too many good movies. The year 2019 started off slow with some hot garbage (looking at you “Beach Bum”), but by mid-year we had some genuine greats building up. So, because it’s that time of the year to be a glutton, here’s my Top 20 of […]

A Redmond Cinema Destination

Odem Theater Pub continues to dazzle

May the Source Be with You

August Edition

Look, I realize it’s incredibly impersonal to talk about the weather…especially with you. We’re closer than that. I’d rather find out how your summer has been and whether you’ve been properly hydratingโ€”but I know you have. You’re responsible; I just worry because it’s so hot outside. If you need something to do while cooling down […]

Kings of the Multiplex

The summer blockbusters have arrived

Last week we took a look at some of the best indie movies of the year that you might have missed, since the giant mega-blockbusters get released all year long now instead of just in the summer. When you live in a town that doesn’t have multiple multiplexes and “Avengers: Endgame” is playing on six […]

Dinner and a Movie

Redmond’s Odem Theater offers a full bar and full menu, plus entertainment

Dinner and a movie is a classic date nightโ€”but in the era of Netflix-and-chill dating culture, you may be lucky if your date invests enough time for just the movie, or just the dinner. Date nights for the time-strapped are one thing Ted Eady had in mind when he opened the Odem Theater Pub in […]
