Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie lead a terrific cast int he story of the era in Hollywood as “talkies” began to take over silent movies…
The film is directed by Damien Chazelle, the terrific artist behind “Whiplash” and “LaLaLand!” The film opens Christmas Day.

Hi John, Babylon looks like a movie that will draw crowds. I never saw Get Shorty but I do remember that it was popular.
