A Quick One

My wife likes absolutely any movie featuring Tom Hanks, so I rented "The Terminal" for her this weekend, with the warning to her that I had no interest in watching it. She started watching it Sunday morning while I read the paper. I quickly got interested. This movie was much better than I expected - it wasn't deep or profound and it had a couple of the kinds of "coincidences" that usually annoy me in movies. Let me just say that when the reason that Tom Hanks's character was trying to come to the U.S. was revealed, it caught me by surprise - no review that I recall reading mentioned this.

A very unexpected "thumbs up."
