Cast Away

Pros: very entertaining
Cons: none

We have sort of a family tradition of going to see a movie over the Christmas holiday. The were three we wanted to see but Cast Away won and I'm glad it did!

I am a fan of both Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt so that was a big plus going in. The...

Pros: A One Man Show, Without Knowing It
Cons: Make Her Divorce the Dentist!

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at Federal Express? Ever wonder who those people are that are so anal about time that they're always trying to shave minutes off delivery times? (probably the same people who put pizza delivery guys everywhere...

Pros: awesome acting, plot
Cons: a little slow in some spots

I'm one of those pillow-crouchers. Yknow, the kind of people that hide behind whoever's sitting next to them, or some inordinate piece of furniture when a part of the movie gets too intense for them. I spent a bit of time with my head behind my...

Pros: Zemeckis, Hanks, Hunt, and Wilson.
Cons: I left my Kleenex at home.

There are a handful of visionary directors out there that are worth seeing every film (good or bad) that they are involved with. For me, those directors are Spike Lee, David Fincher, Oliver Stone, Spike Jonze, Steven Spielberg, the Coen Brothers, James...

Pros: A story of survival that will inspire you
Cons: A ending that is a let down

Tom Hanks has come along way from his days of Bosum Buddies and Bachelor Party. Over the past 12 years, he has play a child in a man's body, a gay man dying of AIDS, a simple man who sees the world, and now, a man who must do whatever it takes to...

Pros: great visuals
Cons: maybe Tom Hanks is getting too tiring in the same role

Tom Hanks has done it again folks. He found a role that was written specifically for him. Last night Brittani and I were fortunate to take in a movie. She really wanted to see Cast Away, meanwhile I really wanted to see The Grinch, we know who won....

Pros: Drama at it's best.You want more.
Cons: You can't have more.

Pros: Tom Hanks
Cons: Not particularly original in plot

I know that it's sacrilege to say that Tom Hanks could be miscast in anything, but the issue deserves some serious consideration in this movie.

Before I get pummeled by the uncounted legions of Tom Hanks fans out there, let me first say that...

Pros: great acting and photography
Cons: probably couldn't really happen

This film is really something special, and a surprisingly absorbing and finally affecting one, because it's about silence, solitariness, and the spiritual deepening impossible to achieve without both. My Uncle Joe recommended this film to me, and he's...

Pros: Tom Hanks
Cons: the ending

Tom Hanks will probably earn another Oscar nomination for his performance in "Cast Away" and may just win his third one. And Wilson, his volleyball, may just win best supporting actor. However, I doubt that the movie will obtain one of those...

Pros: A great film of pychology as well as entertainment.
Cons: Little dialouge and length of film may bore moviegoers.

I have always been a fan of the movies and literature that pit man V.S. nature. Ever since I read the book Hatchet the ability for man to survive in extreme conditions has been intriguing to me, so this movie was a must see for me.

Pros: Tom Hanks
Cons: needs more Helen Hunt and storyline

The peak and valleys of Castaway starring Tom Hanks are exhausting. It is an entertaining account of a FedEx employee who gets stranded upon a lonely island. Why such obvious commercial use of a major carrier? Anyway, now that you know who the sponsor...

Pros: Tom Hanks is such a great actor! Wasn't predictable at all.
Cons: The ending. What was in the box?

We (my boyfriend and I) bought Cast Away on DVD the same day it came out, because we were so excited to see it! We never had the chance to go to the theatre and see it, and it was always rented out at Blockbuster. I came on to epinions.com to see what...

Pros: Life Like
Cons: Ending to long, ended to abruptly.

I have been wanting to see this movie since I seen the previews. The day it was released on video, My husband rushed out to go get it.

Chuck (Tom Hanks) works at Fed Ex, and travels from place to place. While on a airplane to do a job, the...

Pros: great acting and effects
Cons: can depress easily depressed people.

Thank the lord.. I finally got tickets to this movie after a week of trying. I had to go when the theater opened or else an evening show would sell out before noon (the pains of a big city)! Even the cynical critics raved about this drama. After the...
