tom hanks day

Did anyone notice that it was Tom Hanks day? It must've been because every channel on the dial was showing a Tom Hanks movie. I kid thee not. Here's the movies that I noticed airing today:

Big

Philadelphia

Sleepless In Seattle

You've Got Mail

Turner & Hooch

Punchline

I know there was another one that aired - I just can't recall. Some of the above movies played twice. I didn't watch any them. Don't get me wrong - I am a fan - I'm just not in the Tom Hanks mood today. Just mark it on next year's calendar that January 4 is Tom Hanks day.

I have a few favorites, Saving Private Ryan, Road To Perdition, Forrest Gump, and The Green Mile.

I ran across an interesting tidbit about Tom's next movie project. He will be playing my brother Brooky in a movie rumored to be released in 2012. Tom is currently trying to gain some weight and is taking some blues guitar lessons for the part. Below is a picture of Tom readying himself for his most challenging roll yet.
