Over the weekend I was able to watch “Road to Perdition” with Tom Hanks for the first time and I was wonderfully taken away by the film. This film painted a beautiful yet haunting picture of the Father and Son dynamic. I hadn’t ever seen it because people talked about it being hard to see Tom Hanks as a “bad guy” and how that affected their view of the movie. After his performance, he definitely moved up to my Top 5 Favorite Actors List…
From the director of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” comes this beautifully haunting tale of what happens when your dissatisfaction of life leads you to live in your dreams and engage the waking world into them. This visual fancy of imagination and fantasy lead me right in with its raw emotional characters and down-to-earth love story…
Les Miserables is a movie that I have known about for a long time but never wanted to see. I couldn’t properly pronounce the name and knowing that it is a musical and a book didn’t really help my wanting to see the movie. It has always been a movie that never interested or excited me…boy was I wrong.
107 minutes of probably one of the saddest and most depressing movies I have ever seen…followed by 10 minutes of pure joy and satisfaction that made all of the 107 minutes worth it. Will Smith delivers, yet again, one of his defining performances in this heartfelt story about a Dad’s total and desperate pursuit of happiness for him and his son, played by Will Smith’s real life son Jaden.
