    Fans of the BBC sitcom "One Foot in the Grave" might recognise something of the "Victor Meldrew" in Tom Hanks' portrayal of the eponymous curmudgeon. Formerly head of the community association, he takes it upon himself each morning to do his "rounds" - checking the gates are closed, the permits are displayed, the recycling is correct - all pretty anal, really.

    #MovieReview #AManCalledOtto Initially hesitant to watch "A Man Called Otto" due to doubts about its ability to captivate my interest, I waited for its streaming release. Tom Hanks' involvement and the lengthy runtime coupled with lackluster promotional material contributed to my hesitation. To my pleasant surprise, the film turned out to be fantastic. With a well-crafted script and Tom Hanks delivering an outs…
