Where and when to catch a movie
In Arkansas’s unpredictable, often cruel summers, one of the best things to do is to go catch a flick. And with 50-plus screens and numerous free and special-interest movie nights, it’s hard to go wrong — from Hollywood blockbuster to the tiniest micro-indie from Belarus, you can catch it. Even when it’s not summer.
