Prognosis..."Terminal" or "Do you have an appointment?"

We love movies. Mrs. Shu and I stepped out Friday evening to take in The Terminal and were left wondering why.

Why would Stephen Spielberg put out a movie with more holes in it than swiss cheese? Why would Spielberg put out a movie where a little old Indian guy steals the show?

After the flick was over, we were driving to a local establishment to get a late dinner and we were doing our own review. We both agreed it was a good, not great, movie. We both agreed that the parts played by just about everyone in the movie could have been played by anyone else with the same effect.

You'll notice I said just about everyone. Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones had very little chemistry. Robin Williams and just about any other of the hundreds of "cute" actresses could have turned in equal or better performances. The show stealer? Kumar Pallana as "Gupta". His signature line in this movie "Do you have an appointment?" provided most of the much-needed comic relief in this show.

See the movie but go to a matinee. Don't pay full price for it.
