If you've driven down Oak Street lately, the Reel Theatre looks different. Local artist Nick Hottmann painted new murals on the 310 E. Oak St. building after its 2011 mural, made by local high schoolers, kept flaking. Owner Saundra Lewis decided to start fresh after 15 years in the elements.

The art keeps the old imagery, a vintage film reel and overflowing popcorn and candy, and adds a pair of ticket stubs for the two screens. Hottmann hand-brushed the whole thing, and Lewis got written permission from Pepsi for a real logo on the cup. “I wanted it to be something you can see from Yellowstone and know it’s a movie theater, even if you’ve never been here before,” Hottmann said.

  • Other wall: new movie-poster designs for action, romance and horror
  • Pop-up screening: “True Grit” had a good showing
  • Christmas shows set: “Elf” and the 2018 “The Grinch”

The new art mixes old theater imagery with new posters

The Wrap

Dusty Baker won a World Series and managed in the majors for 26 years, yet fixing how he fielded a ground ball still felt a little uncomfortable. That's the story Rich "RW" Weidinger tells about a baseball camp in Hawaii. The former Stanford assistant coach is bringing Cardinal Baseball Camps to Pocatello Dec. 21-23 for players ages 9 to 14. Nice glove work.
