St. George Film Society

[Film] The Southern Utah boomtown that is St. George just got a little more cosmopolitan. The Salt Lake Film Society, which operates the Broadway Centre and Tower Theatres in Salt Lake City, will take over operations of the four-screen Red Cliff Theatres (previously operated by Westates) as of this Friday, Feb. 8. A slate of Oscar nominees -- There Will Be Blood, The Savages, No Country for Old Men and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly -- will mark the changeover. (Scott Renshaw)

The Trolley Report

[Film] Your art house options have officially been reduced: Regency Theatres' Lyndon Golin confirmed today that effective immediately, the Trolley Square theater has shuttered two of its four screens, and the theater will close entirely effective the end of January. Not even regular sold-out showings of Juno were able to save the struggling theater from a rough overall year for independent film at the box office. That leaves the Salt Lake Film Society's Broadway Centre and Tower Theatre as the remaining downtown locations for non-Hollywood fare. (Scott Renshaw)
