Robinson Film Center — Attraction in Shreveport

I first went to the Robinson in the Fall of 2015 after one of my favorite English teachers could not stop praising it during class. As a lover of movies, I made it my mission to watch a movie there as soon as possible.

As soon as I walked in, I knew that I would love it. It is a small theater with only two screens, but it is by far the cleanest and best looking theater I have been to in Louisiana. The Robinson has taken advantage of every bit of space its relatively small building has to offer, and I think it is wonderfully laid out. There is even a small lounge area on the bottom floor where you can sit and discuss the movie you have just watched.

The theaters themselves are wonderful! They are large enough to feel spacious without being so large as to feel like you are too far from the screen. The screens themselves are bright with vibrant colors and a clear picture. In fact, I would wager that the picture you see at the Robinson will look better than pictures in some of the national theater chains. Sound has always been great with voices coming in clearly without being drowned out by cranked up bass or background noises.

I've seen many reviews claiming that the staff was less than polite, but every time I have gone, the service I received was friendly. But I must say, if the comments about the service are making you hesitant to visit, do not let them deter you because I believe everyone should come watch films here.

When it comes to film selection, I am always pleased to see that the Robinson is offering smaller movies that larger cinemas are ignoring and replacing with big name films. Ironically, the movies I have watched at the Robinson have been better than the majority of movie offerings from the big names recently. I have yet to be disappointed by the films I have seen here. The Robinson seems to celebrate cinema itself instead of just making the most profit, which is evident when you view the movie lineup.

I'll end my review by saying this: The Robinson Film Center is hands down the best theater I have visited in Louisiana. Everything from the facade, to the interior, to the movie selection, to the theaters themselves shows that the Robinson cares about creating the best movie-going experience possible. Do yourself a favor and take the time to visit this theater. I'm about to visit...

THE ROBINSON’S FILM CENTER DOES NOT SUPPORT (REAL) WOMEN’S RIGHTS!!!

THEY ALLOW MEN IN THE WOMEN’S BATHROOMS!!!

There is a man, who works behind the concession counter at Robinson’s Film Center in Shreveport LA, who is dressing up like a woman and he is calling himself a woman but he is a man. Period! He calls himself Alex. I was there this week to see a film and when I went to use the bathroom I could tell, by the way he came around the wall, that he was using the women’s bathroom. I haven’t been able to let this go.

The manager, Wendell, and I had a heated discussion about the Center letting this MAN use the women’s bathroom. Wendell kept calling Alex a SHE and would come back at him with a HE.

There is now a Federal law against men being in women’s facilities. Wendell is going to check with their attorneys to check on the legality of it all.

Im not done with this.

I guess I won’t be going back to the Robinson’s Film Center again.

I’ve been traumatized by this experience, very angry and confused. I refuse to be in a woman’s bathroom with a man. I know satan is putting all of this out into the world. We have to put on the armor of God and stand firm in our convictions

I called my older Christian friend for counseling. She said God died for everyone and to just pray for them and don’t get angry. She advised me to not go into a bathroom if I see a trans man go in there just wait outside the bathroom until HE leaves. If I’m already in there just hurry out. I’m not worried about being accosted, I just refuse to be around a man who is PRETENDING to be a woman and going into a woman’s private space.

My friend also advised me to call Speaker Mike Johnson’s office and ask his advise. She said someone will get back with me and he might even call me. He can tell me exactly what the new laws state. I’m...

Popcorn is a little sub par, but it's a great place to catch movies that aren't shown at 'name brand' theaters. Comfortable seating. Good candy selection in concessions. Easy to buy tickets online or in the box office. Very clean facilities. Cosy place. I believe the entire building is wheel chair accessible. Hosts special events. There's a great restaurant upstairs and space to rent for events. Parking is a major downside, like most downtown spots. If after 5pm, street parking is free despite the meters, but before 5 pm the only free parking is their 10 spots behind the building. There are two spots in front, but they are governed by a new meter app? Very confusing, I recommend always coming after 5pm or on the weekends simply for the...
