The man behind the hero
I thought this would be a typical disaster movie but it was so much more than that. It is contemplative, showing the effects of post traumatic stress, and the actual after the fact situation of wanting to be believed. Tom Hanks is a master, and literally gives everyone a run for their money. A heartfelt film.

A story through the years
Run Forest run!
An awesome film that will grow on you with repeat viewings. It has become one of my fave films. I love how the story progresses over the years of the characters lifetime and ties into real historical events. A very heartwarming film. If you missed it put it to the top of your must watch list.

Director PAUL GREENGRASS knows how to make a tense film based on real life events! The film is way long, but it has a lot of tense moments along the way in the places you'd expect tense moments and the as you can expect third act is full of tense moments. TOM HANKS gives his usual stoic performance, but in his last scenes in the film he's really great!

"This one isn’t a high school movie, but more a college-age movie. It’s called Mazes and Monsters and it stars Tom Hanks. It’s about the dangers of role-playing games, and if you play these role-playing games, you’ll lose touch with reality. Tom Hanks is a kid who gets too into their version of Dungeons and Dragons, which they call Mazes and Monsters. He loses touch with reality and thinks he really is on the quest, and disappears into New York City. His friends have to try and find him. It’s definitely worth checking out if you can find it. It might be one of those movies that just disappeared. I think it was a made-for-TV movie, but it’s always affected me. I saw it when I was a kid on the Saturday afternoon matinee movie, and it just has this ending that is so bleak that I’ll never forget."

Beautiful Day
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood- is more about the person interviewing Mr. Rodgers than Mr. Rodgers himself and to that i say "their was a documentary that came out in 2018, called "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", that focus on Mr. Rogers more". This film is still a good movie, i just wish it was more about Mr. Rogers than the person interviewing him. Tom Hanks does a excellent job playing Mr. Rodgers, he reminded me alot of Mr. Rogers, brings back memories.

The plot: Lloyd Vogel is an investigative journalist who receives an assignment to profile Fred Rogers, aka Mr. Rogers. He approaches the interview with skepticism, as he finds it hard to believe that anyone can have such a good nature. But Roger's empathy, kindness and decency soon chips away at Vogel's jaded outlook on life, forcing the reporter to reconcile with his own painful past.

Like i said before its a good movie.

Spielbergian drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks and supposedly based on the true-life story of Frank Abagnale Jr (I wonder how much of it is, how much made up, and how much dramatised?), with DiCaprio playing the role of Frank Abagnale, who successfully bluffed his way into work as a co-pilot at a major airway, as a doctor and as a lawyer all before he reached his 18th birthday.

In order to do so, he also forged numerous official documents, which brings him to the attention of Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), who makes it his mission to capture Abagnale, with the two then forming a sort of co-dependent relationship on each other.

It's not a bad movie by any means, with it also attempting to provide some form of justification/explanation for Frank's actions through the lens of his childhood and his relationships with his parents, although I did find it a little slow to start with.
