The sense of awe and patriotism among the audience was very apparent, and was wonderful to be a part of. Like most people, we have large screen TVs at home; but nothing takes the place of seeing movies on the movies theater screens; especially if you are in luxury leather recliners like all of the AMC theaters have. Buy an A-List membership for about $24/person per month, and the cost of movies is minor (covers up to 3 movies/week); and permits you to go to AMCs everywhere. It's a fun outing, gives us a reliably cool and dry place to go for a walk, and we combine movie outings with doing other errands, or dining out, there or nearby. A fun find is the sports bar/cafe in the ViaPort Entertainment Complex (neon-lit bowling, arcade, indoor go carts, and more) that is in the mall.

Great info! Glad you enjoyed the film. Cannot wait to see it. FaceBook banned it for potential “election interference” which only motivates me to go & pay to see it all-the-more. Hypocrites. I saw Reagan’s son interviewed about it. How rare is it for a son to say glowing things about his mother, divorced father, step-mother & say he liked the movie depicting his own family? Who knew after many failed marriages Catholic Jane Wyman, Reagan’s first wife who divorced him, also became a 3rd Order Dominican? Talk about an about-face! Someone should follow up on THAT story. Hearing & seeing the truth about Ronald Reagan makes me realize with sadness how distorted American main stream media has been for so many years! His initial campaign was the 1st election where I could vote. I recall how the news had awful coverage of Reagan. They even tried to make Jelly Bellies seem like some kind of a terrible addiction. They succeeded at making Reagan seem too old & out of touch with the youth. I wish I had known then what I know now…
