Ah, the Terminal. Well, I’m still up in the air about this one. It’s been over two weeks since I’ve seen it, and I just don’t know which way to go. On the one hand I loved the performances. In especially, Tom Hanks as the Heinleinish character, a proverbial stranger in a strange land. I also liked the performances of Diego Luna and Zoe Saldana as the starcrossed lovers, and loved the Trekie pun played there. What I didn’t get was Catherine Zeta-Jone’s role in the whole affair. That sub-story took too much emphasis off the main story of Hank’s reason for being in New York, and floundered at the end in the way only a rotting fish can do. If not for that one gripe, this movie would have been sublime.
I’m still not sure if I liked it, but I do know I didn’t love it.
As for King Arthur? To each his or her own.
p.s. PEOPLE! Cary Grant isn't in Harvey! And neither is Hepburn. I give you a freebie like that, and no one rips me a new asshole? You are all fucking slipping. And I apologize for the mistake, and in my defense...I was rather snookered when I wrote that, and had just watched Harvey and the Philadelphia Story back to back, so my apologizes for fucking that whole review up. Harvey was with the big Pookha rabbit, Philadelphia Story was with Grant, Stewart, and Hepburn, and both are excellent movies. Nuff said.
