It looks like it opened in Korea a week ago Thursday. It's still here, but my guess is it will be gone at the end of the week. Movies like that make it one or two weeks and are gone. A lot of times I don't even bother to try to find out if it's going to be in the theater given how few western movies come here. Spectre is also here and that would be considered a stronger draw.

I bet Star Wars will be here a month or so.

I enjoyed it from start to finish. However, I ate the entire large bowl of popcorn. Yikes!

Funny how a movie you know about historically can be made so gripping! For example, that scene where Powers plane gets shot down and his struggle to get loose from the plane and open his parachute. You know he made it yet you still feel every second of the fright he must've felt.

I'd like to see it again, just cuz...Spielberg is such a damn genius...I gotta hand it to him...and Hanks, whatta about that guy! He was superb!

which is why I went 'out of my way' to see it. After all, it's showing down the street from Bread and Chocolate, where I had le petit dejeuner!!!

I just love going to the movies when it's this good!

My buddy Barbara wants to go see Suffragette and I do too but I'm tied to the house while I recover from this shingles mess. Cleaning lady came today and put in extra time since I have been such a wreck. The pain is better but I look like a freak..
