Sully

On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger (Hanks) glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career. Clint Eastwood is directing the film from a screenplay by Todd Komarnicki, based on the book "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters," by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow.

This was a great movie across the board.  The direction, the acting, the way the story was told were all really top notch.  I was curious to see how they would make this in to a full length movie that wouldn't just tell you the story that you already knew and they did an exceptional job of telling it from the pilot's point of view and in a non-heart string pulling kind of way.  The fact that I enjoyed this movie so much is that much more impressive when you take into account that this story/movie took my biggest fears (flying and birds) and combined them in the most horrible of ways and I was still loving every second of it.  

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.  It's a great reminder of how awesome Tom Hanks still is and is easily one of the better movies to come out this year.
