Best of lists, Hours/Pricing change (UPDATED 1/31)

A modest Price change coming early February:

It's been years since we've touched them but it is necessary to stay open and pay the bills, afford that huge indoor block of ice we keep for no reason.

New releases and regular criterions will be 3.25
Regular Titles will be 2.75
New/Multi-disc Criterions will follow suit.

Also, we will be trying out New Weekday hours starting Feb 4th.

Monday thru Thursday our new hours will be 2-12.
Friday and Saturday are the same - Noon to Midnight.
Sunday hours are 12-10.

2007 is over, our movie picks for '07!

All movies seen for the first time in 2007. We are trying to avoid putting movies that came out theatrically only very late in the year, since most critics year end lists have included movies that will get awards (oscars for instance) in 2008 or no one outside Festivals have seen yet, so bear with it. "There will be Blood" JUST opened here, yet its on many 2007 year end lists.

Please vote for us!

It's time once more for Cityview's Annual Best of Des Moines Survey.

Please take a moment to Vote us "Best Place to Rent a Movie" and "Best Locally Owned Store".

Go to Cityview's Homepage and click on the top right corner.
Or go directly.

Getting a team of people to vote on a bank of supercomputers a plus, but not required. Family, Friends, co-workers, random unattended laptops whose owner could return at any moment, all fair game.

Don't forget all the other amazing local stores, coffeeshops named after planets that are in town.
