My movie recommendaton for the day is "A Hologram For The King", which stars Tom Hanks.

The blurb on my cable tv said that it was set in Saudi Arabia so I thought that with my background of
growing up in West Pakistan back in the day I might enjoy it. The movie was nothing like I expected
and I did enjoy it very much. I still enjoy it and will watch it every chance I get.

No spoilers, no links but if you don't enjoy it I'll eat a bug.

I love Tom Hanks and I also used to live in Saudi, so I’ll certainly watch it this weekend!
