For children of the 50’s, Bridge of Spies will be a nostalgic look back at a time when the world was a very different place.  For those of us from younger generations, it will be an interesting view of world events from when communism overran half of Germany.

Spy is hysterical with things that go Boom! It’s rated R so don’t watch it with the kids (there’s a few naughty bits in there) and push it thru to the end to see a small clip that will crack you up!

I give "The Leftovers: Season 1" three out of five sharpie markers! It was four but you know how fast those markers dry out! The storylines are deep, and while sometimes PAINSTAKINGLY slow at pace, you’ll be compelled to come back for more, and maybe take up wearing white.
