BRIDGE OF SPIES

Movie:  Bridge of Spies
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  2 hours 21 minutes\

Jan's Review:

This movie is taken from a true story that happened in 1957 when lawyer James Donovan, played brilliantly by Tom Hanks, was recruited by the CIA and involved in intense negotiations to exchange a spy plane pilot, Francis Powers, who was shot down and arrested, for K&B spy Rudolf Abel.  My husband and I rented this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it.

BURNT

Movie:  Burnt
Rating:  B
Time:  1 hour 41 minutes

Jan's Review:

"Burnt" stars Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller and Emma Thompson.  It is another movie I missed when it was in the theaters, so we rented it from TWC and enjoyed it very much.  Bradley Cooper stars as a high-strung chef who knows what he is doing but has no patience if someone in his kitchen makes the smallest mistake.  He is starting over at a posh restaurant, trying to prove himself as the worthy chef that he really is.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
