When the Madstone closed unexpectedly not long ago, i fully expected this space to sit unoccupied for years. Imagine my delight, then, as drove past and saw that Galaxy cinema had opened it its place! The interior is almost unchanged, except for the addition of some flat-screen monitors displaying previews in the lobby, and a flashing mural over the snack bar. The snack bar offerings are pretty much the same, too: popcorn candy, coffee, biscotti, and beer and wine. The film selection is still almost exclusively small and independent films, with an added concentration on lesser known foreign films, including lots of Hindi and Bollywood. Any way you look at it, this is a great thing development for film lovers in the Triangle.
