The Terminal

This movie was a complete surprise to me. I didn't think the commercials made it look very special, but Tom Hanks and the side characters (especially Kumar Pallana) really made it work. Forget about the "romance" story - Tom Hanks as Victor sold the movie for me. I loved the little subtleties of his behaviorisms, enjoyed all of his friends in the airport, and preferred this ending over any other ones I've heard.

Very fun movie. I was smiling through a lot of it, laughing through a good deal of it, and quite enjoyed its style.

(p.s. Steven Spielberg is advanced enough now that he should avoid lame details such as quarters flying out of a cart return machine, but that's just a small thing to nitpick about in a very well made movie.)
