Very good movie. Nothing great but a good story told well. Tom Hanks does a good job as Walt Disney. Emma Thompson is fine as PL Travers. For those not familiar, the movie is the story of the making of Mary Poppins. It was a difficult process thanks to Travers' huge attachment to the characters she created. Thankfully, her difficult personality led to all the scripting sessions being tape recorded so a full record of them remains. Anyway, good movie. 8/10.
This was great. Great job by Tom Hanks (especially if you ignore his accent coming and going) and the four Somali pirate guys. Tom Hanks plays the title role, the captain of a merchant ship off the coast of Africa taken over by pirates. Based on a true story. Really, the only thing hurting the movie is that you know the outcome going in. Still, this was great. The very last scene is off-the-charts great. This movie was good enough that I had to downgrade other movies I'd given the same rating because this was a lot better. 9/10.
