I find it interesting that this movie is coming out during a time when tensions between the U.S. and Russia are again coming to the forefront.

'Bridge of Spies' brings the Cold War to life

In the early days of the Cold War, tensions between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. rose to a fevered pitch as anti-Communist paranoia spread across the United States.

Ma'am, I also like Tom Hanks. Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, and The Green Mile are three of his best movies. With that said, I will wait and check it out of the library when it is on DVD.

When it comes out on DVD, yes, as long as its a good one like a few I have he played in. Let me know how you like it when you get to see it if you will, he is a great actor.

Probably won't go see it. Rare I go to the movies. I usually catch them once they hit Redbox or Netflix. I am a penny pinching Scrooge, lol
