Tom Hanks lassos an important message in his only western role, NewsOfTheWorld.
It’s no big secret that in a cinematic industry seems to be caving to the pressures of the “streaming wars,” and that we will likely be facing an entirely new version of the marketplace in the wake of the writer’s strike.

These films are so consistently entertaining and feel like such outliers in an industry focused on superheroes that Hanks can be forgiven for having to take a paycheck role in a disastrous Pinocchio remake every now and then just to pay for them.
