Join us for a NEW discussion group: MOVIE TALKS. We select movies that you might have seen when first released, but warrant repeat viewing; or perhaps you never saw it but is one that may intrigue you. It may even be a movie that you are just dying to share with someone else! We will share information about the plot, characters/actors, and some of the behind-the-scenes trivia. This event is intended for those who have already watched the movie.
