Terminal

Watching movie is a form of relaxation for me and my family so I grab every opportunity to watch a couple of movies every week. The movie in my mind right now is a Tom Hanks starer and directed by Steven Spielberg. I forgot about the story line so I’m sharing the link of the movie trailer instead.

An eastern immigrant finds himself stranded in JFK airport, and must take up temporary residence there.

My share for TCP this week.

TCP: One Hour Photo

This week’s TCP theme features the versatile actor Robin Williams. I picked One Hour Photo for my entry. Williams portrays an offbeat character in this movie which is a far cry from the usual role he usually play. Find out more about this movie through this storyline I borrowed from imdb.com.

Storyline

Middle aged Sy Parrish works as a technician at a one hour photo lab located in a SavMart store in a suburban mall. Sy is a lonely man, never having had any friends. He knows much about his customers through the photographs they have developed. But he knows more about the Yorkin family – specifically Nina Yorkin and her adolescent son Jake Yorkin, the two in the family who drop off and pick up the family’s photofinishing – than anyone else, the family about who he is obsessed. Nina’s husband, Will Yorkin, is incidental to his obsession since Sy has only seen him in photographs. Sy’s obsession includes fantasizing about being their favorite “Uncle Sy”. He has even been making an extra set of prints for himself of all of their photographs since Jake was a newborn. After an incident at work and after Sy finds out more about the family through a set of photographs, he decides to right the injustices he sees in the only way he knows how. His actions demonstrate his true mental state. Written by Huggo

TCP: Lorenzo’s Oil

My favorite Susan Sarandon movie is Lorenzo’s Oil.

Lorenzo’s Oil is a 1992 drama film directed by George Miller. It is based on the true story of Augusto and Michaela Odone, two parents in a relentless search for a cure for their son Lorenzo’s adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). The film was nominated for two Academy Awards. wikipedia
