A comment and coincidence in and around the superb film, “Spotlight.”

I will have a review and some comments about the superb film “Spotlight” in an upcoming post.

Some pre movie and post movie comments/coincidences follow. As usual here, no need to say “spoiler alert” as “nada” is revealed concerning the film, other than it is tremendous.

Knowing television show, “Ray Donovan” star, Liev Schreiber is in “Spotlight,” I started with acclaim for the recently departed actor Bob Hoskins and his role in “Hollywoodland,” as “fixer” Eddie Mannix, a real life version of much depicted on and as “Ray Donovan.”

Then in the endless procession of movie previews, there is a newer one for “Hail Caesar,” showing an Eddie Mannix character,  based on the real person shown.

After the movie and with just 4 people left after the credits, I got a laugh from a couple I did not know by saying “on a lighter note the (New England) Patriots won the Super Bowl that (2001-2002) year.”

A great actor, Bob Hoskins pictured above
