We are the "Reel" Baby Boomers! While Hollywood may still cater to the 15-28 crowd, we view movies with 50+ year old eyes. We think Baby Boomers are a major force in the film world and Hollywood should work to get us back into the theaters and a way from Netflix & HBO. Our rules: 1. Get back into the theaters and have our money talk. 2. Use our website for Baby Boomer Reviews. 3. Participate in our Boomer Movie Blog. |
