And I'm back again! Hopefully I could post more this coming days but studying keeps me off online. Hope you'll understand guys.
So I took a different route for now and grab a movie on the line of Colin Hanks. No please don't tell me to even compare them because I would be looking at him as a different actor. Just himself that is.
So the movie starts when Troy Gable (played by Colin Hanks) defies his father (surprisingly enough, Tom Hanks got the role) and quits law school to pursue his dream of being a writer. But nonetheless, he needs to get a job to pay his bills and stuff and takes on the role of a 'road manager'. And guess what? It's the mentalist, "The Great" Buck Howard, which it turns out to be mad sometimes and being a 'perfectionist' in every way.
Troy would have a love interest here and I'm sure you'll feel cheesy about it. But I could say it did work. There's some chemistry going on so thumbs up to that.
It's a good-feel movie and just the right element of everything. And it's really great to see where every character goes as it progresses.
So it's long overdue (I know) but its definitely worth it. Here I go on my review on the movie 'Big' starring Tom Hanks on it. And I'll start with one of my favorite scenes:
The space goes...
Down down baby, down down the roller coaster. Sweet sweet baby, sweet sweet don't let me go.
Shimmy shimmy coco pop, shimmy shimmy rock, Shimmy shimmy coco pop, shimmy shimmy rock
I met a girlfriend- a triscuit,
She said a triscuit-a biscuit,
Ice cream soda pop
Vanilla on the top.
Oooo Shalida, walking down the street,
Ten times a week I meant it. I said it. I stole my mama's credit. I'm cool. I'm hot. Sock you in the stomach three more times.
I just laughed out my chair just seeing Tom Hanks do this. I don't know, it was funny and odd at the same time since a grown man does it. And trying to convince a kid that he just got 'humongous' because of a wish on a machine.
And one of the most prominent scene in the movie is where MacMillan (played by Robert Loggia), boss of the company 'MacMillan Toy Company'. The two end up playing duets together on a foot-operated electronic keyboard, performing "Heart and Soul" and "Chopsticks".
I personally think that was a hard scene, to see that they needed both to be in sync. And I think it was awesome cause it took Hanks character somewhere that could make things interesting.
Susan:
I'm not so sure we should do this.
Josh:
Do what?
Susan:
Well, I like you, and I want to spend the night with you.
Josh:
Do you mean sleep over?
Susan:
Well, yeah.
Josh:
OK... but I get to be on top.
One of the best scenes also on the movie, I just couldn't help but laughed on how innocent was Tom Hanks here. You could just see it in his face. (Is it me or did I just see the possibility of him being Forrest Gump here?)
Overall, I love the movie because the reason is it's fresh for me since every other movie of Tom Hanks seems to be drama or something. Well kinda, this movie has one on the last part but won't spoil it though. It's a feel good movie and I highly suggest it that you/friends/ relatives and even kids watch it! After all, we were a kid once and wished we were 'Big' already.
