Experiencing Cinema Again: The Value of Re-Releasing Films in Theaters
Where were you for your first time? I am referring of course to the first time you got truly impacted by a movie in the theater. Mine happened when I was 7 years old and to this date it is one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. It was in May, 1997 and […]

If you haven’t read the book or seen the film please be aware that there may be spoilers in this review.
