“The world has changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost…” If those sentences sent an electric jolt through your entire soul, well, let’s be friends. And let’s also go to the Alamo Drafthouse this weekend to remember that good can vanquish evil. With this extended edition, spend three and a half hours reveling in a land of magic, where the noble fellowship (and Boromir) quest to keep darkness out of Middle-earth. Peter Jackson’s stunning visuals and Howard Shore’s stirring soundtrack deserve to be seen on the big screen. I can’t think of any better self-care than escapism with LotR. – Cat McCarrey
