“Cast Away” Movie Review
“Cast Away” Plot Summary
A FedEx executive must transform himself physically and emotionally to survive a crash landing on a deserted island.
Simply wonderful!!
This is a marvelous, heartwarming, engaging movie that features the genius of Tom Hanks. The film was neither too long or boring; it was just right. It might have been boring if it’d been anyone other than Hanks, but as usual, he melts into his role and delivers a riveting performance.
Kudos to Zemeckis also in capturing Hanks’ ordeal on the island, from his weight loss to his desolation. This is one of the best ‘Robinson Crusoe’ type adaptations I’ve seen.
And Hanks’ journey back to civilization was so interesting and moving. He superbly played the part of the person who’s struggling to find his place after being out of touch for five years! The scenes are so touching, especially his reunion with Hunt.
I was almost convinced this was based on an actual account, so much so I was looking to see the trailers at the end of the movie, saying ‘Based on the real life account of…’
Tom Hanks is one of the best character actors of his generation, right alongside of Robert Duvall, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman, and Russell Crowe.
As an aside, this is the only movie I’ve seen that’s been a showcase of a corporate logo from beginning to end (and not a bad association, I might add), to which I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t produced by FedEx. ;-)
If you’re looking for something more than the shallow and contrived dramatics of the reality series Survivor, or a movie without the standard pyrotechnics or other adrenalin boosting gimmicks, then this film will be well worth your time.
It’s a human interest story, pure and simple.
I was so drawn in that when the movie ended, I really wanted to see what happens to Chuck in the new phase of his life, after meeting his next potential love interest at the very end of the film.
I guess that’s left up to the imagination. Happily ever after. :-)
Enjoy a superb tour de force performance by Hanks.

“Charlie Wilson’s War” Movie Review
“Charlie Wilson’s War” Plot Summary
A drama based on a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson’s covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects.
The incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman
Charlie Wilson’s war is an excellent example of how films should be made. This movie is of the highest quality and is cast perfectly. Tom Hanks play the lead and delivers an exceptional performance. Furthermore, Tom Hanks is complimented by the unparalleled acting ability of the incredible Philip Seymour Hoffman. I have never seen him in a role that suits him so perfectly.
The film is witty, intelligent and well written. Julia Roberts also stars in this film but is easily over-shadowed by the other two leads.
I rated this film 10/10 and am pleased to recommend this film to anyone that is interested in quality cinema.
