What`s with all the magician driven movies coming out?

Magic is apparently very hot.

Movies always come out in pairs or threes. Ones usually good others suck, but not always.

Example: armegedon, deep impact
I could name a lot more, but I'd probably spell them wrong too.

Could someone please kill Tom Hanks already?

Well, Mallkovich is a phenominal actor (Dangerous Liasons, anyone?). He' turn this role into a movie worth watching. :-)

Is Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks related? Long live Tom Hanks. He's a great actor. I have always enjoyed his movies. Well, except for Joe vs the Volcano. That one was out there. I loved Forest Gump. I'll probably see this one.

Tom Hanks is Colin's father in real life.

Joe vs. the Volcano is a classic. One of the coolest parodies on modern day office life. I gets silly towards the end, but the office life scenes are just great.
