Interstellar in 70mm – The way Christopher Nolan wants you to see it
If you’re unaware this movie has been released in three different formats. 35mm, 70mm, and 4k digital.

Movie Review – The Boxtrolls
This weekend The Boxtrolls was released in theaters and I made sure to grab a ticket for the first showing at my favorite theater. The story is cute, has some funny and obvious puns, and yet has some intelligent humor as well. I didn’t watch much of the trailers because I did want to see…
