With movies no longer being simultaneously released on streaming, theaters are once again ready to party like it’s 2019.

Christopher Lawrence escaped his native Kentucky without an accent thanks to the thousands of hours he spent in front of a television as a child. That’s also why he never learned how to ride a bicycle. He’s been writing about TV and movies since his days at Murray State University, when the school’s basketball coach had him reassigned at the student newspaper after just one story about the team. He’s been a professional TV critic since 2000, the Review-Journal’s TV critic since 2005 and its movie critic since 2012.
The overall message from the movie theater industry is: “We are back.” Normalcy is returning with screenings, stars and a robust slate of 2022 films.
More than 40 stories, many originally published in the Review-Journal, have been collected in John Glionna’s new book, “Outback Nevada: Real Stories From the Silver State.”
