I spent the first day of the new year at the Museum of the Moving Image in my ‘hood (Astoria, NY) and I highly recommend taking the quick train ride out of Manhattan for a visit. Right now there’s a great Jim Henson exhibit, as well as permanent exhibits that encompass cameras, lighting, sound, costumes, actors, make-up, special FX. Basically every aspect of the film and TV business is covered. Plus, every day there are different screenings of films in their theater and they are included in the price of admission ($12 for adults). Today I saw one of my favorite films, The Prestige, on the big screen for the first time.
Afterward I also went and saw The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo at the regular movie theater around the corner.
Starting the new year immersed in the world of moving pictures was an excellent choice.
