Catch Me If You Can
Just saw it this afternoon. Actually a very excellent movie. Not deep or earth-shattering, but eminently engaging and extremely watchable. Spielberg at his best.
DiCaprio doesn't get in the way, either. He's quite good, makes you believe the character and care for him, root for him, a scared kid. I forgot it was DiCaprio five minutes in. Anyone have a line on a good biography of Frank Abagnale, Jr? I'm interested in exactly how close the movie comes to the truth of events. |

I really liked this movie too.
Would like to learn more about Abagnale. |

I want to see this movie...it reminds me greatly of the Cary Grant movie To catch a thief that was out...oh...in 1955.
Hopefully I'll get to see it this weekend - but there's gonna be hockey in town - so that will win  -k |
