Viewing Notes

Going into Spielberg’s The Terminal (2004) I will admit to not being all that enthusiastic about it based on what I knew and the trailers. Nor was I all that keen on seeing Hanks playing the fish out of water foreigner. But something happened as I watched… I was taken in by the story and wonderful acting. Didn’t realize that Diego Luna & Zoe Saldana were in this or how incredibly stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones would be. On record as stating this is the best she has ever looked. Tho I had a few problems with the film, glad it didn’t have a Hollywood ending (as much as I kinda wanted it). Thanks to my low expectations I was impressed.
