Phoenix, AZ 85008

Dan E. writes: I saw Heart here with my wife on 7/26/07. It was our first concert here -- and we had a blast.

There are a few things I wish somebody…

Made Art Boutique

922 N 5th St
Phoenix, AZ 85004

Marquee Theatre

730 N Mill Ave
Tempe, AZ 85281

Harkins Cine Capri at Tempe Marketplace

2000 E Rio Salado Parkway
Tempe, AZ 85281

w w. writes: Harkins 16 is a brand new theater located on Rio Salado Parkway. It's in a huge Desert-Ridge looking shopping complex that still isn't finished. Most stores aren't open yet, and the place pretty much looks like a ghost town.

But Harkins is open, and…

The Brickhouse

1 E Jackson St
Phoenix, AZ 85004

Modified Arts

407 E Roosevelt St
Phoenix, AZ 85004

Jetta R. writes: I saw Oh No! Oh My! play here. And Band of Annuals. And Eternal 42.

Gilbert Stadium Cinema

1012 S Gilbert Rd
Gilbert, AZ 85296

If you're like me,…

401 E Jefferson St
Phoenix, AZ 85004

Cynthia R. writes: Yes, another out-of-towner giving this stadium a so-so review.

3310 N 3rd St
Phoenix, AZ 85012
