## Resource

Sam Neill’s legacy lights up L.A.’s cinematic revival as The New Beverly Cinema hosts a star-studded tribute on July 24, screening “Misery” and “Dead Calm” with director Phillip Noyce and Billy Zane in attendance. Beyond this heartfelt homage, the city’s repertory scene is booming — from the Academy Museum to Vidiots and pop-up series — drawing crowds for rare films, IMAX 70mm premieres, and unforgettable communal screenings. It’s not just about movies anymore — it’s about community, passion, and the enduring magic of the big screen. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
