Road to Perdition

Had a nice long weekend. But nobody else was having a holiday on Monday, so was 'home alone'. Had purposefully kept the weekend chores for Monday, n that successfully kept me busy whole the day. In evening met some good ol' friends.

These days watching movies only on CD as Cinema owners are on a war with the Kannada Producers...rather, vice-versa. Suffering heavily are we, the movie freaks. Anyway, watched two beautiful movies. Road to Perdition and The Terminal. Both have Tom Hanks as the lead and both are a real treat.

Road to Perdition looks more in line with the mafia movies like The Godfather series. But morever, its a story of son/father relationship. Hanks is a gangster and at the same time a caring father and a family man. His son comes to know about his real business and starts kinda hating him. It takes him six weeks on road to truly understand his father.
Tom Hanks 10 out of 10.

'The Terminal' depicts the story of Victor Navorsky from a war-torn country Krakozhia (fictitious) who gets stuck in JFK airport. He is not allowed to enter America, nor can he go back.
So he has to stay in the International transit lounge. His stay of some months there weaves a story which is comical, dramatic and at times tear-jerking. Hanks alone carries the movie on his shoulders. Though not in the league of Spielberg's other movies, 'The Terminal' is affable.

Tom Hanks is awesome in both. Infact i daresay he's one of the best actors of all time. If someone has any doubts, watch his Cast Away!

Back to office...well, the week will be shorter this time ;)

i remain.
P.S. Missed the Handi (though i never ventured for that) and GopalKala on Krishn-Janmashtami!
