Saving Mr Banks

THE OSCARS BIGGEST NOMINATION MISTAKES

Leonardo DiCaprio as Best Actor? Puhleeze! He seems to be playing the same person in every movie and never “disappears” into a role. SO over-rated.

Michael B Jordan should have been a Best Actor nominee for “Fruitvale Station.“ He’s NOTHING like the character he portrayed. And Fruitvale Station should have gotten a nomination too!

Saving Mr Banks (above) was one of the most entertaining and delicious movies of the year and it was all but shut OUT. A pleasure to watch. It left Tom Hanks’ other movie “Captain Phillips” in the dust.

“Blue Jasmine” was not nominated for Best Picture? Insane! Did anybody really think “Gravity” was more entertaining? Was Gravity more entertaining than “The Butler?” We think not.

“American Hustle’s” hairstylist Kathrine Gordon didn’t get a nomination for the best movie hair in memory? What’s WRONG with these people?

Movies Saving Mr Banks Tom Hanks

IF YOU LOVE HOLLYWOOD, YOU’LL LOVE “SAVING MR. BANKS”

Walt Disney is high on our list of Most Admired People so we were itching to see “Saving Mr. Banks.” Although it isn’t really ABOUT Walt Disney, it’s a great story and really entertaining. There are many delicious and colorful Los Angeles scenes at LAX, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Grauman’s Chinese Theater, and Disneyland in the glorious early 60’s. We’ll take Tom hanks as Walt Disney over Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips any day…

Disneyland Emma Thompson Saving Mr Banks Tom Hanks Walt Disney

TOM HANKS HAS THE WALT DISNEY LOOK DOWN PAT

Walt Disney has always been one of our heroes, and who better to play him in a movie than Tom Hanks? That explains why Tom has been promoting “Cloud Atlas” with that peculiar mustache. “Saving Mr Banks” is the story of Walt’s 20 year pursuit of the film rights to author PL Travers’ (played by Emma Thompson) novel “Mary Poppins.” Disney’s daughters adored the book and he promised to turn it into a movie. He developed an interesting relationship with Travers through the years of negotiation. We look forward to seeing vintage Disneyland. (Above are some photos from scenes filmed at Disneyland.)
