The Terminal

Tonight we watched The Terminal staring Tom Hanks. We didn’t realize it was a Steven Spielberg movie until I was about to pop it into the DVD player. Both of us really like this movie. Hanks plays a man stuck in a terminal when there is a coup in his home country and the United States doesn’t recognize his passport. He is forced to stay at the airport until the war is over in his country. As I mentioned we both really like the movie and recommend it. Tom Hanks is great, as always. It’s amazing how well he can play different characters, this one from a former Russian country who barely speaks English.

Longhorns Win a Close One

The Longhorns pulled out a nail biting win against the Nebraska Cornhuskers today, 22-20. It wasn’t looking good, down 20-19, when the Longhorns caused a fumble with less than two minutes to go. They drove down the field and kicked the game winning field goal with 20 seconds left in the game. The Longhorns dominated most of the game and it wasn’t until the end of the third quarter that the Cornhuskers became energized, perhaps it was the snow that started to fall. Anyway, Colt McCoy rallied them and drove down the field. It was the most exciting Longhorn game since the National Championship.
