The Movie Reel

[Tennis Fan]

I like Keaton a lot (Beetlejuice lol)

I like Keaton too. He's so funny when he does comedy.

It's thought provoking. Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a great job of portraying a conscientious human being in a ruthless world of politics. I recommend it. Since I already watched a documentary about him, some things were familiar. Oliver Stone can make anybody step back and think about different issues. Love his work.

And the seats in our new cinema are fabulous, like those in business class on airplanes.

What movie is this, Billie? I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Seems like a real cool dude.

I've always been a little underwhelmed by Tom Hanks to be frank. I've thought a few movies were OK but he ain't in my elite list of actors.

Me too. The only movie I liked him in was Philadelphia. He and Denzel Washington did a great job. High praise coming from me since I'm underwhelmed by both of them.

 

[Tennis Fan]

So glad to hear someone else say that! Never understood the hype

Me either. I don't get it either.

New trailers for Star Wars fans... This Rogue One offshoot movie has flown beneath the radar a bit, but I'm looking forward to it. Always take the kids to the cinema on Christmas Eve and this fits the bill for 2016.

It's "Snowden", Tennis Fan. JGL is a good young actor, I agree.

Never heard of it. I'm going to look for it. JGL is doing a new commercial and he is so darn cool. He also did a dance on lip sync that I found on YouTube. He can really dance, and such a cutie too. Something so charming and endearing about him.

Star Wars Episode 8 New Trailer:

Very underwhelming trailer but then again it's a full year away so I'm surprised they are giving us anything.

Kind of off topic but...mind blown

Not too surprised. Fisher's made various comments in the past that made you think a bit of rumpy pumpy might have taken place.

Looks great. Definitely seeing that opening week.

I was not aware of that, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Even though he was married it is kind of cool being a bit of a Star Wars geek and all

The movie Carol came on again. One of the leads was Cate Blanchett. That's the name I was trying to remember.

Oh folks, Fantastic Beasts - fantastic movie! If you love the Harry Potter flicks, this one might even be better!

FB was better than that HP stuff..this was darker and had more of a adult type of theme
