Which makes the checkout lane, victory lane. Well they brought us hits like saving private ryan and catch me if you can, now oscar winners tom hanks and Steven Spielberg team up again, and they take us on the thriller of a cold war mission in the new movie bridge of spies. Sandy kenyon has the review. Good morning. Events depicted in bridge of spies took place more than half war between the soviet union and the u. S. , but director Steven Spielberg has brought this story to life today. The film is called bridge of spies because thats where a couple of prisoners were exchanged at the height of the cold war. One was an american pilot shot down over the soviet union, the other a russian agent held by the u. S. The soviet spy they caught, we want you to defend him. Insurance lawyer James Donovan played by tom hanks is recruited for the tough task of trying to ensure the spy gets a fair trial. This will be a first for the both of us. You should be careful. Smart words as it turns out. You know how people like at us, the family of a man trying to free a traitor. The guy labeled the traitor could be just another stock bad guy, but he makes him a mysterious human being. This is the latest in a long line of decent men hanks has played, and it marks the fourth time hes been directed by Steven Spielberg. When tom was going full donovan, yes, i was intimidated. He was strong. The masters skill is obvious as the two strands of the story get equal weight. The lawyer thought up the idea for the swap and hes the Natural Choice to make it happen even in berlin. Some of the tension dissipates because bridge of spies is about a quarter of an hour too long but it seems a small complaint to make about a movie that is so exciting and entertaining. So confident was hanks as donovan his director and pal was at least a bit intimidated, at least thats what Steven Spielberg told me. His star was just so strong in that role everyone got a little scared at times. Bridge of spies is from disney owned by the same Parent Company as abc7. Im sandy kenyon Eyewitness News this weekend.

We wanted to show you some of the headlines in the post. Kings of the city, mighty amazins on top of the world, dark knight versus batman. Wow. And then we have in the no way mets can lose, symbol of cubs curse is named murphy. The story is the cubs have not won because a goat that had once been in the stadium with the fan was asked to leave and they started losing never got to a playoff game after that. And of course 2nd baseman is Daniel Murphy on the mets, so we have murphy. I didnt know the goats name was murphy. Yes, right. Thats the point. Murphys law is going to say that the cubs lose [ laughter ] i like it. Very good. But im just amazed by the ticket prices. The ticket prices. 846 and were not even talking for world series yet. Thats how rabid the mets fans are. You can watch it for free. Game 1. Incredible. Lets head out right now. This is an incredible shot of the sun coming up over the horizon. It came up 5 minutes ago. East. We have central park in the upper east side. This is from our roof cam. That wind coming in from the west at 9 Miles Per Hour. 48s our low so far this morning, it probably wont go any lower than that. We probably start slowly rising back into the 50s during the day.

The sun came up at 7 09, going to be setting at 6 13 this evening. Temperatures even in new york city will tumble into the 30s for the next couple of the nights. Most of the outlying areas will get a thick frost or killing freeze. What i mean by that is if you have any plants or vegetation outdoors that you want to keep, youre going to want to bring it in or at least cover it up during the next couple of nights. We have these frost and freeze warnings in effect. Some spots will drop into the 20s tomorrow night, even tonight areas well north and west of the city could get down into the 20s in places like youre in the 30s right now. 34 sussex, 36 at monticello, down to 43 down the shore at belmar. 39 as close as newburgh, 45 at islip on the island.

In a couple of these if they make it down into the poconos and catskills, those elevations above say 1,000 or 1500 feet, they could be mixed with a wet snow flake or two. Dont be shocked if youre well north and west of the city and you see a couple of snowflakes. Same thing could happen tomorrow. In the meantime, today we get up to about 56 in the park, low 50s north and west of the city, only getting up to 45 for a high at monticello. Lows tonight were talking upper 30s in new york city. Coldest since april getting down into the 20s in sussex and poughkeepsie and monticello. Even getting down to freezing or below in places as close as white plains and morristown and toms river new jersey. And of course the all important first pitch forecast for the nlcs at citi field. 49 degrees, that northwest wind coming in 12 to 25. That is going to be a biting wind, and it will feel like the 30s out there. That 49 is for first pitch. By the end of the game, the actual temperatures will fall into the lower 40s. Brisk and chillier today, 56 if were lucky tomorrow we break the 50degree mark. Heres your accuweather forecast for today. Were brisk, chilly, periods of sunshine and clouds. There could be a sprinkle or a shower well north and west, and that could be mixed with a wet snow flake or two. 56 for a high. For tonight colder, variable clouds out there, it will be a down right hard freeze in cold spots north and west. Down to 38 midtown. Brings chilly tomorrow, for today and tomorrow, sunnier in the morning, cloudier in the instability developing. 51 for a high tomorrow, still wind though. 52 and then a big turn around starting on tuesday, 66 for a high, were in the upper 60s on wednesday, and look at that. 70 degrees on thursday.
