Tom Hanks stars in his first Western unless your counting Woody

This might be an actual Hanks movie that I will like not holding my breath though.

Yes, terrible title for UK residents. I love a good western though, possibly my favourite genre. Not so sure over that January date though...

I'm interested for sure, but as is normal now I don't think I can get myself too excited for anything at the mo.

Dear god, I thought Hanks might have surprised me this time but no he's doing his same old crap.

Is this where he travels across the US and then moves to the UK to form a piece of toilet paper sunday newspaper?

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy we're getting to see it, but it saddens me as yet another I lose the cinema experience of. My Dad is responsible for me having a great love of the Western genre, and it's always a tradition that on the rare occasion one hits the flucks, we always go together...

‘News of the World’ Review: A Simple yet Uplifting Change of Pace from Paul Greengrass

Matt Goldberg reviews Paul Greengrass' new movie News of the World starring Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel.

[gibbsy]

Film is in the same vein as Hostiles and The Homesman with a brilliant performance by Tommy Lee Jones. I find Hanks a very watchable actor, probably because you know what you're going to get so this will be on my list when it comes to streaming or disc.

Looking forward to this. I’m still not sure of a “Hanks” in a western, but the trailers look good

Yes, looking forward to it. I would have normally made a cinema trip for it. Quite possibly my favourite genre.

Westerns and Horrors I can’t decide which..

 

[richp007]

Horror's are great, but Westerns just ooze cool.

And often you can't beat the score.

On NF today people !!!

I enjoyed it, depends if you don't like Tom Hanks, i do. Not the most exciting of westerns.
Wish there was more interesting Native American Indian scenes, i understand they were in the background of this story 7/10

 

[lucasisking]

Was alright. No surprises with the characters or the narrative. Plays out exactly as expected and we've already seen this story several times. 6/10
