Movie Review: Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks
Characters: Frank Abagnale Jr. and Carl Hanratty
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Tagline: The true story of a real fake
Grade: A+

I love movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. (As if someone couldn't tell.) He's a great actor and he's gorgeous (not everything, but it always helps). So, of course I loved this movie. And also, Amy Adams was in it and, like I said, I'm one of her biggest fans. Tom Hanks is pretty cool, too. (Anyone associated with Band of Brothers and/or Damien Lewis is automatically cool in my book.) The movie is the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., who, after his parents get divorced, becomes a con man. He becomes one of the best and most famous con men of all time, impersonating a PanAm pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer...he even passed the bar exam after studying for only two weeks. Carl Hanratty is the FBI agent that chases after him for years. I really like this movie because, not only is the acting good and the story well written (even if it was a true story, someone still has to write it, right?), but it's also really fun. If you want a modern retelling (kind of), check out USA Network's White Collar. (which also stars Matthew Bomer...making it an automatic win...look at that, bringing up Damien Lewis and Matthew Bomer in the same post...that's a win too.)

Hard work...and other stuff

I had a pretty good day today...I cleaned house, which is my job. I get paid pretty well. I just hate vaccuming. It sucks...like, bad. I also did school...til five...with a practice ACT in the middle of it...ya...hard work. And I have this slight crush on this guy...and yeah, he's cute. That's all. :)

More college stuff

So, I went to a meeting for John Brown University tonight and they told us some info. I had a lot of fun...and of course, my stupid ex-boyfriend showed up. Apparently he's decided he has to go there...I know he won't though cause he doesn't like working...or doing school...or doing anything besides watching youtube videos. So, I guess I'll just have to pray that something will happen so he won't go. Ugh....boys suck.
