By 1989, Hanks was already so popular with audiences that The Burbs opened atop the box office simply because of his likability and star power, despite mixed reviews. A meh but pleasurable dark comedy from Joe Dante, five years after his handcrafted masterpiece of mayhem Gremlins, The Burbs co-stars Bruce Dern, Carrie Fisher, Corey Feldman and Rick...
At the absolute zenith of the pandemic, two Hank pictures were released on streaming to positive notice: News of the World and Greyhound on Apple. Directed by Aaron Schneider from a screenplay by Hanks, Greyhound co-stars Elizabeth Shue, Stephen Graham and Hanks' son Chet Hanks. It's a relatively low-fi World War II maritime thriller that fleshes o...
Tom Hanks is rarely bad in a movie, and he's certainly not bad in Asteroid City. Unfortunately, Wes Andersonloves a sprawling ensemble, and in this dramedy about a stargazing camp, Hanks is mostly relegated to telephone conversations. Here's to hoping that if he comes back for a second Anderson project he gets a little more screen time.
Co-starring with Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Anna Gunn, Hanks teamed up with director Clint Eastwood for this biopic/legal drama hybrid about Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. Sully examines the emergency landing of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River and the legal investigation that followed. Sully doesn't have the heft of the director or...
News of the World reunited Hanks and director Paul Greengrass years after the considerable success of Captain Phillips. Based on the novel of the same name, the action drama stars Hanks as a Civil War vet who crosses paths with a 10-year-old girl (Helena Zengel) raised by Kiowa and journeys across perilous Texas terrain to return her to her family....
Turner & Hooch is Tom Hanks and a big dog. Does it get any more high-concept appealing than that? Tomorrow Never Dies director Roger Spottiswoode directs the Oscar winner in a comedy crime caper about a by-the-book detective who inherits a deceased colleague’s Dogue de Bordeaux. The film was adapted for a Disney+series in 2021. Be warned: This is a...
Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers has to be among the most perfect casting decisions of all time. Hanks played the beloved, iconic children’s television personality in Marielle Heller's drama A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. The Oscar-nominated film, written by Noah Harpsand Micah Fitzerman-Blue, centers on real-life journalist Tom Junod (played by The ...
In frequent collaborator Steven Spielberg's Cold War-set Bridge of Spies, Hanks plays real-life lawyer James B. Donovan, tasked with a prisoner exchange after defending a convicted KGB spy. Divided into two distinct halves, Bridge of Spies is light on its feet, a little creaky at times, and mostly satisfying—a notch under top-tier Spielberg. Everyo...
Before box-office behemoths Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, the classic pairing of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks shined in Moonstruck writer/director John Patrick Shanley's cult classic, underrated rom-com about a hypochondriac who's apparently about to die, accepting an offer from an eccentric millionaire (Lloyd Bridges) to die with dignity, in...
Hanks' debut as screenwriter/director is an ensemble dramedy about a fictional rock band in the vein of The Beatles. High-energy That Thing You Do! is charming and fun; it succeeds handsomely in evoking a bygone era, and it's fluffier than some of the more groundbreaking pictures Hanks was attached to in the '90s. That's a high bar! A deleted scene...
