Curio: Hanks a Million

Alexa here. With the release of Captain Phillips, the annual game of reevaluating Tom Hanks is afoot. Does the Everyman dial it down to play a non-hero hero, or is he in fact at his most Tom Hanksiest to date?  Did Gravity beat him in the space race, since it beat him at the box office this week? I, for one, don't care: I love Tom Hanks for all his versatility and charm and Tom Hanksiness, so there.

its so weird that i can't stop thinking about CASTAWAY lately. I guess it's the vulnerability of Mr Hanks in Capt Phillips reminding me of his other nomination-worthy dramatic lost at sea movie
