Movie: Catch Me If You Can

Paul Watson

What a great movie. I am no fan of Leonardo DiCrapio but he has matured and put in a very good performance. Tom Hanks was his usual superb self and Christopher Walken rocked, nobody else quite like him. I won't tell you about the plot because I cannot stand spoilers, so I won't be part of that evil. Plus you can always go spoil it for yourself by reading Salon or IMDB. The story is true however and the plot a great one. At the end they mention how the main character, a fraudster, is now living safe and sound in the American Midwest with a family. I wonder if he is a friend of Roger Wright? Seems the sort... ;) So recommended movie indeed, even if you cannot stand Leonardo.

I definitely enjoyed this one, also. The fact that it was based on someone's real life made it that much better. A good story well told. Even the intro credits were at treat. With the funky-retro-jazz line art animations.

She then laid down on the grass and proceeded to burn her back and for the rest of the summer had this very bizarre looking reverse tatoo. Needless to say he's not high on my fan list either.

I am always on time for movies, always... well until I went and watched CMIFC. Decided to have some coffee and a Tiramasu beforehand, this was 30 minutes before the movie. 10 minutes before the movie, stuff still had not arrived. I asked the waiter and he went pale, then scurried off. 5 minutes later still nothing. Then I asked another waiter who very quickly brought my stuff, but it took her 5 minutes. So there I was with a Cappucino and Tiramasu and the movie about to begin. Never drunk coffee so fast or eaten a cake so quickly. Then when it came to paying the bill they ran out of change and had to ask around... arrrgghhh! Long story short, I missed the intro... Up till two minutes ago I had convinced myself the intro was not important and I had not missed anything... Thanks... ;)

Tom Hanks was his usual superb self and Christopher Walken rocked, nobody else quite like him. I second that too. Funny, this is what I've told everybody I've talked to about the movie. He's not that teen icon anymore, he's actually an actor! Paul Watson wrote: So recommended movie indeed, even if you cannot stand Leonardo. I used to dislike him for his really bad performances. He started out as a pretty face to lure all the teenies to the cinemas, and that's nothing I pay good money for (especially since I'm not a gay teenager ;)). Now that he's actually showing that he can act, I'm seeing past his looks. He's not the poster boy anymore, he's a good actor. And for this role, I say he's perfect. -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine
