Tom Hanks

When a movie is sold as being the next incredible cinematic experience that will change the way we watch movies, expectations are huge. Audiences may scoff. It could all backfire. But Alfonso Cuaron's 'Gravity' lived up to the hype and audiences responded in kind, giving it the biggest opening ever for a non-sequel October release.

Tom Hanks is sure to earn himself an Oscar nomination for his performance in director Paul Greengrass' 'Captain Phillips,' and the new trailer previews his riveting portrayal in this true-to-life tale of a captain facing Somali pirates.

Reader's Digest -- which still exists, apparently -- has released the results of its '100 Most Trusted People In America' poll, and Tom Hanks has been voted as the guy to whom Americans would most likely give their spare house key.

Michael Clarke Duncan was laid to rest yesterday in Los Angeles and a number of his friends were on hand to share their memories of the larger-than-life actor including Jay Leno, Holly Robinson-Peete, Stevie Wonder and his 'Green Mile' co-star Tom Hanks. Below you can watch Hanks speak lovingly about his favorite Michael Clarke Duncan story, which had the audience laughing.

So I was on my way home last night and this movie quote popped into my head.  Not sure why, but it did.  Of course, once it was on my brain, I couldn't figure out for the life of me who said it or what movie it was from.

Something very important happened between the time when Jonah Hill first hosted ‘Saturday Night Live‘ in 2008 and when he did for the second time last night — the 28-year-old was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in ‘Moneyball.’ Although he ultimately lost to Christopher Plummer, apparently the nomination had gone to Hill’s head just a little bit.

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson took in an L.A. Kings hockey game Saturday night and were caught on the arena's kiss cam.  Check out the funny video.

Oskar believes that his father, who died in the  attacks of 9/11 , left a hidden message for him somewhere in the city.

My family will likely spend some time relaxing with a movie or two this weekend.  My son only has two ballgames, and then we've got a couple of days off to enjoy time with family, friends and each other!  When we all have some time off like this, we like to make some popcorn and watch an "old" movie.  At leas...

Funny thing happened on the way to "Late Night with David Letterman"...  or at least it happened on Letterman last night.  Jim Carey told a story about his dog getting sprayed by a skunk.  Oddly, the story sounded an awful lot like one Tom Hanks had told Letterman.
