The Terminal movie cast trailer

I often question overwhelmingly positive opinions about admired filmmakers and actors, particularly a one-two punch team like Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Digressing for a moment here, I am a big Martin Scorsese fan. I think he is the greatest American director alive, for the time being. Therefore, I wish I could say that "Gangs of New York," his last major film, was a disappointment, as many found it to be, but I thought it was one of the most powerful epics ever made. And that leads me to Steven Spielberg, a formidable director with a curious desire lately not to overinflate or pontificate manipulative emotions. And, leaving aside the execrable "1941" and "Hook," Spielberg has not made a single bad film. Every work speaks for itself, from "Saving Private Ryan" to "Catch Me if You Can." Those last two pictures also starred Tom Hanks. These guys never seem to disappoint me but I suppose I was waiting for one of them to fail, just once. Failure is not a bad thing - it just builds character. Still, "The Terminal" is one of the breeziest, most charming comedies in quite some time, and a truly unique marvel thanks to Spielberg and Hanks
