He has often wondered if boys chased the birds that day. Also on that day, I drove by on the Henry Hudson Highway and saw a stunning sight, a plane in the middle of the river with people standing on both its wings as rescue boats sped toward them. I marvel that I actually saw this. And yet I have not yet seen the film. I suppose I should. This is a great review.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-74115293777344622032016-12-06T19:32:25.480+00:002016-12-06T19:32:25.480+00:00We enjoyed this movie too.

We need more stories about good people doing good, brave things, but they probably would bomb at the box office. Bad people and bad things make money. Look at Trump.<br /><br />I also enjoyed Allied. Old fashioned war story with intrigue told very well.
