OTHER NEWS:
It seems like people really want to see Clint Eastwoods latest “Juror #2”. A lot of people didn’t see it in theaters since It only played in limited release. This week it was available on digital platforms and it quickly shot to #1 on the buy/rent chart on Itunes although it will be playing on MAX streaming service in just a couple weeks. It even beat the always popular holiday movies.
LITTLE BIT OF HUMOR:
You see him? To the right of Bruce Willis head. There also might be another guy on the left side of his head.
