Charlie Wilson's War

Tom Hanks, as everyone knows, sucks. Here's hoping he doesn't drag down Charlie Wilson's War.. The trailer for the movie about the Lufkin congressman looks quite good, despite both him and Julia Roberts.

"We don't have alcohol in the Presidential residence."
And for the win:
"No."

Does look good.

Saw the preview before "The Golden Age. I was amused.

OTOH...

Oh? Tell me more. I don't think I've heard you elaborate this POV before.

I was scarred by his performance in Monsters and Mazes, which came just before he played Hilde in Bosom Buddies.

Fine, but I still love Joe vs the Volcano. You can toss the other Meg Ryan pairings in the trash (Sleepless in Seattle & You've Got Mail) but Joe is wonderful.

It is probably not a good idea to pass final judgement on most actors by the work they do in their 20's. :) I personally think he's grown and mellowed into a pretty good actor, Forrest Gump notwithstanding. But his work in Philadelphia was amazing, I really enjoyed what he did with the acting challenges presented to him in Castaway, and I actually thought he was quite charming in The Terminal.

Some things are unforgivable.

That's true. So I guess I better not ever see that movie. :)
