After my husband and I caught the speech that Tom Hanks gave at the Golden Globes tonight, we dried our cheeks and decided we not only need, but owe it to ourselves, to watch every film that Tom Hanks has ever done. Let's just state the obvious here - Tom Hanks is a national treasure and possibly the best thing that's happened to America (at least in recent history). He is a blessing on the world and we just can't get enough of him.
We've always been big fans of Hanks (or Hanksyboo as he is sometimes called in our house) and we own quite a lot of his movies. However, after scrolling his filmography on IMDB.com, we realize there are a lot we haven't seen. Some that we've never even heard of! So like any obsessive compulsive person would do, I made a color-coded spreadsheet of all his movies in chronological order, to be checked off one at a time. As I looked at the list of 55 movies, I realized the obvious - That's roughly one movie a week for an entire year. Time to start a blog!
So every week, this blog will be updated with what movie we watched, our review/comments, and probably some kind of adorable food/drink pairing to go along with the movie because that's how freaking cute I like to roll.
Hopefully someone other than our parents will read this, and enjoy the journey with us as we Thank T Hanks for all his amazing work.
