Entertainment Cinemas - Fresh Pond

Editorial Review for Entertainment Cinemas - Fresh Pond – by Jonathan Schultz

An Oasis Amid Chaos
As you round the mall's eastern corner, it looms ahead: the Loews Theater at Fresh Pond, rising proudly out of the sea of parking spaces like a modern-day ziggurat. As soon as paradise is found, however, it is blurred by a 16-year-old cutting you off in his tricked-out Civic.

Inside Track
Although its exterior is reminiscent of a "Buck Rodgers Goes to Babylon" scenery cutout, that is where the novel movie-going experience ends at this Alewife-area landmark. The Pond's offerings fit squarely into the suburban-moviegoer milieu, with summer blockbuster fare filling up the 10 DDS-enhanced theaters.

Who's There
Is your favorite aisle filled? Not to worry. Simply scream that 'N Sync is signing autographs outside and watch the seats become vacated. The Pond is a magnet for teens and pre-adolescents.
