This movie had good performances all around is fast paced, light hearted and funny. The beginning dragged just a bit, but picks up when Shady gets to Los Angeles and dawns a slightly different demeanor for everyone he meets. There's a few holes in the plot but they are minor instances that are easily overlooked. Solid core of actors in this one and they all have their moments. I would have liked to have seen some scenes built out more. And also was left wondering what happened between Thick and Shady. Maybe thats in the sequel? The New York scenes were great. And some of the fade out cinematography worked well, especially the close up's on Shady. All in all, entertaining.

Forrest Gump
(1994)
such tripe
15 December 2006
One would think you would have to be 5 years old to like this movie. Tom Hank's worse acting job ever. If you could call it an acting job. "Dah, I'm a dumb guy, please have empathy for me." This movie begs for your sympathy. But Forrest is a hollow shell, and as unbelievable as the inane plot. How can anyone like this movie. Your more likely to meet the Wizard of OZ in Emerald City than you are to meet an athlete like Forrest Gump. It's not possible and it's not funny to pretend that it is possible. How about a sequel where Gump becomes a heart throb movie actor? Or a brain doctor? Or how about an investment banker? It's not funny. It's not interesting. And poorly acted. Just plain stupid. Puke...And it made a lot of money. And is one of the most highly rated movies. Go figure.
