Yes, you heard it here first. Step right up for the greatest theater popcorn in Massachusetts! They use *magic* on their popcorn. That, with REAL BUTTER combine to make this the most delicious popcorn this side of the Mississippi. Stop by for a bag, you don't need to see a movie to buy the popcorn. Just walk in and the refreshment counter is on the right side. If you're *very* picky about your popcorn, just ask for a sample to taste before you buy. I just love this popcorn!

The Somerville Theater is awesome! It is very old and it capitalizes on this with its decor (either that or it has not renovated in a VERY long time!)... either way, the decor is fun and makes you feel like you are going back in time - at least to the 1950s or so. The theater is located right in the heart of Davis Square and plays mostly second run movies. They have a small concession stand and the seats cannot be compared to those in modern theaters (i.e. not very comfortable), but somehow the comfort and intimacy that the theater itself provides makes up for the uncomfortable seats. It is a rare treat to visit an old, still-independent movie theater these days and Somerville Theater certainly delivers! It is a big part of Davis Square's charm. Enjoy!

Right in the heart of Davis Square, this small theater has several smallish screens that show a mix of popular mainstream movies (e.g. The Elf played there when it came out) and more non-traditional selections. At one point, the line-up included not one but two Bollywood movies, as well as the Whalerider. It's not the best quality large screen / surround sound type of place, but it has a nice local feel, is quite popular with Somerville residents, and ... J.P. Licks ice cream is just across the street.
