It lists every show in every theater on every island -- military theaters, too. I found Hawaii Showtime on a Google search for something related to a different thread.  |  IP: Logged Wes Hughes Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Raleigh, NC, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 03-15-2002 07:52 PM                     Paul...i think you mean the Waikiki 3. It was not owned by Pacific some years ago...I worked there a bit. Ownership may well have changed, but it is definitely a 3-plex.  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 04-04-2002 02:13 PM                        Thanks for the info Claude Ayakawa & Alan Sakaida , I have been to the Signature 18 at the "Dole Cannery" complex to see " Lord of the Rings" as my Nephews had not seen this yet and I must say that the cinemas are much better laid out than what we are used to in New Zealand , with True Stadium Seating as opposed to Stepped Seating ,with a better view all round ,sound was good but the drop down scope was a bit disappointing (as it was not quite Wall to Wall) I have enjoyed my stay here and have visited the " Arizona memorial" and other of the sites of this Great Island State, you just have to visit the "Swap Meet" at the Stadium ,Aloha for now.  |  IP: Logged
