Happy Birthday to
Tom Hanks
54 today
One of the most critically and commercially successful actors of all time, even if his star has begun to wane. I say that, but we all know Toy Story 3 which he is the lead - even if Pixar is the star - will be this years highest earner as well as beloved by critics. Given that the Langdon movies have been improving it's possible The Lost Symbol might even be a decent film too.

Film News (11/07/09)
It's another slow news week, that's 2 in a row. I hope it picks up soon otherwise I'm going to have to start reporting on the endless rounds of comic book castings, or the lurid personal lives of dead celebrities. Anyway to the news:
High Alert
Octogenarian film-maker Norman Jewison is to return to the directors chair for the first time since 2003's The Statement. High Alert is said to be a comedy about panic in the threat of war, and will almost be a rutrn to the themes in his first film: The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming. It'll be interesting to see what laughs can be had out of the situation post Iraq.
Lost Symbol
More details are beginning to spill about Dan Brown's 3rd Robert Langdon adventure. It's set exclusively in Washington and centres around the formation of the Masons. Whilst funny handshakes and the thought of another bad haircut sitting atop of Tom Hanks might put you off, the $470m Worldwide gross of Angels and Demons pretty much guarantess this hitting cinemas sometime in the next 3 years.
