There's Something About Tom Hanks

This guy. This guy is so likable. I never really knew this but I am a huge, huge Tom Hanks fan. His small appearance in The Simpsons Movie made me leap out of my seat. With 64 roles under his belt, this guy is a legend.

I wonder if Tom Hanks googles himself, because it would be really awesome if he got to read this blog post.

It all started with Forest Gump.



Then it was That Thing You Do and You Got Mail. I was like seven years old and I thought "this guy is attractive" in That Thing You Do. I love watching repeats of Cast Away when the network decides to air it, no matter how many times I've see it.

But this was during the 20 years of my existent. One day I was so bored I decided to pop a DVD of Saving Private Ryan. I heard it was good but Matt Damon + War = No thanks!

And OMGlkjfoiuweorjsdiofhsiortj;osjf0!!!!! It was amazing! I was watching it on my mac with my Sennheiser headphones. I felt like I was in the war zone. I thought I was going to die. I decided any movie with Tom Hanks is a good movie, because the guy is so damn likable.

That's him in Saving Private Ryan. He's hard to draw.
My favourite character from this movie.


I even went to watch Larry Crowne [with an E] on my own in the morning. I would have preferred if I was the only one in the theatre though. Watching a movie by yourself in the morning in an almost empty theatre is much more pleasant than watching it alone at night, which was what I did with Spiderman 3 and yeesh, I felt awkward.

After the movie I thought, "must watch more Tom Hanks!" So I bought Apollo 13, The Green Mile, Turner and Hooch, and Philadelphia.



One of my favourite feel good films from him is the underrated The Money Pit. That had great slapstick comedy. I remember laughing my head off with my dad and sister watching that. It's about a couple trying to fix up a broken down mansion. See below? Mess.


P.S. Tom Hanks said his favourite movie of all time is The Space Odyssey. Now it's my favourite movie :D.

YO-YO Self Esteem

Everyone has heard of low self-esteem and high self-esteem. I have a combination of both.

One Moment I'm like this.

 
And then I'm like this.
  

Example:



 Recently I have been acting like this.


I tried to fix it of course.

By listening to my favourite songs.



Reading a book.

But of course, because of my bloody mood swings:

Finding Treasure

I watched National Treasure 1 and 2 for the first time after my friend told me she liked it. I heard that they were crap which was why I refrained myself from watching it. But if a movie makes me want to imitate it in real life then-then-then it ain't so bad!
If I were still a kid I would be grabbing my neighbourhood friends to come on a real live treasure hunt. I'm not exaggerating either. Since I'm not a kid anymore, I'll let someone called Judy do the job for me.

Thoughts on Captain America (spoilers)

I watched Captain America yesterday and I thought about writing a review. Then I thought of something better. I'll just share my thoughts.


Captain America took place during World War II and every time Captain America fought with his side-kick Bucky Barnes, I had my eyes on Bucky the whole time. You may know him from Gossip Girl, playing Carter.



Now that he's buff and all powerful, you see him more than a friend? Typical.

Guess what. They killed the only character I cared about in the entire film. Why the best friend! Whhhyy!!!!!! I didn't even know his name!


He sleeps for 70 years and nobody thought to tuck him in?!
What did you think about the movie?

I have a feeling that Iron Man is going to steal every scene in the Avengers.

Tapeworm Scared Me for Life

This occurred when I was nine years old. Mother was going to make us fish for dinner.
