Tom Hanks. Movie Star, Common Man, the guy who inducted the Dave Clark Five into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and took us From The Earth to Moon.

He’s guy you’d call your Bosom Buddy, go to court or go to war with.

Tom Hanks is, and certainly this is no slight to Vince Vaughn or whoever is playing this year’s version of Batman, the finest actor of our generation.

And he will again team with Steven Spielberg in a Cold War thriller set in an moment in time that those of us in the Keener Generation remember all too well: Francis Gary Powers’ U-2 being shot down over Russia, and the subsequent negotiations for his release.

“Bridge of Spies“, co-starring Mark Rylance, Amy Ryan, Alan Alda, James Caan and Ed Asner, opens October 18. See you in the popcorn line.
