Your Childhood on the Silver Screen
Jimmy’s Daily Planet keeps up with new movie trailers. I also have lots of young nieces and nephews.

Cinema’s Neighborly Friend
It seems like a match made in heaven a shoe with its laces.
Mia Galuppo of The Hollywood Reporter has reported that America’s favorite everyman Tom Hanks is set to portray America’s favorite next door neighbor of yesteryear:
