Toledo Blade calls Detroit Film Theatre "a ritzy kind of place"

The DVD reviewer for The Toledo Blade is praying for rainy weather to assuage his guilt for heading to Detroit to sit inside a theater -- albeit a ritzy one -- to watch screenings of "giant monster smack-downs."

If you have children and wish to hook them early, there’s even a nice history lesson here: With each double feature, you get a Japanese monster movie paired with an American classic. So, this Saturday, for instance, Son of Godzilla (1967) is shown with 1957’s 20 Million Miles to Earth, and next week, it’s the rarely-seen Battle in Outer Space (1959) paired with the Boomer classic Jason and the Argonauts.
