Well I went and saw “the terminal” with jem tonight.

I have to say a mighty fine film.

I would even stand up and make the call that its the best film i have seen so far this year…..yeah i know thats a big call.

Normally in Tom Hanks films he gets a bit tedious buy about the 30 minute mark. But not in this film, sure he may not be the worlds best actor but hes pretty good in this.

Tom plays a man who is trapped in New York airport after his passport is revoked due to a military coo in his home nation. He is not allowed to leave the airport until his country is recognized by the US.

You are pretty much always guaranteed a good film when Stephen Spielberg is the director.

Its funny and sly and quite initiatives in terms of storyline and concept. It looks good, there is no tricky shots its all made by the story and the relationship and closeness you feel to Tom Hanks’ character.

A downside to the film would probably be the insane amount of product placement.

But overall i give it a big 6 out of 7
