"Hancock was an interesting movie. Although the climax was stupid, I still thought it was a good movie. "

"Who just wasted 90 minutes of his life watching Hancock? This guy. I should have listened to the wife and just stuck with enjoying the trailer (which included all the best comedic moments). I will give Peter Berg credit for not dragging this into a 2 hour movie. But in 90 minutes, choose your poison: comedy, arch-nemesis, reformation, origin.... you could drill down on any one of these. Hancock turns out to be an action comedy that decides 45 minutes in that it wants to explore some new facets and there just isn't time for that. The big showdown in the hospital at the end was just painful. You know how it's going to end between Hancock and Bateman's wife... why complicate things with guys who also have powers? Unexplained powers. Powers that didn't seem to exist earlier... and yet they've known Hancock for centuries. See? Now I'm getting angry. Skip this movie. "

"Many smart cinephiles and comic book geeks will avoid watching Watchmen this weekend. Not to avoid the crowds of opening weekend, and not to patiently await word of mouth from friends and reactions from critics. No, these bright few will ignore the out-of-season blockbuster event because there is absolutely no reason to see this movie. They recognize that any Watchmen adaptation (particularly this one that’s been made) is completely unnecessary. Well, for anyone not out to profit from it, anyway. Of course, even Warner Bros. might have been better off not producing the thing, since the studio won’t be making as much money as it had initially envisioned thanks to that profit-participation settlement with Fox. The point of this post is not to call Watchmen watchers stupid. Rather, our list of five reasons the film is unnecessary is to help moviegoers get smart. After reading this, though, if any of you are still determined to waste your time sitting through almost 3 hours of redundan "

"Because there’s nothing like waiting until the last minute to do some holiday shopping, we’ve compiled this handy-dandy shopping guide to the best DVDs of 2008 that you can use now, or wait until the dust settles and clean up with any cash that Santa or Hanukkah Harry happened to leave you. It’s broken down by the person you’ll be shopping for to make things easier, even if that person happens to be yourself. When noted, we’ve picked the Blu-ray version over the standard definition, because we try to be all about 1080p and other technical terms whenever possible. But, the regular versions are just fine as well. Still, it’s true what they say: once you go HD you’ll never go back. The Superhero Fan Iron Man: In my opinion, this was a much better movie than The Dark Knight. Why? Bec "

"Hancock is a surprising film. For one thing, I was surprised that Jason Bateman, usually a master of smarm and weaselly tics, was able to portray a kind-hearted, genuine good guy with such conviction. Here, he uses his formidable skill at comedic deadpan to deepen Ray, a sweet, gentle boy scout of a Public Relations man. The strength of the film’s action scenes was also quite disarming. Though director Peter Berg’s fidgety, shaky camera often confused the action or diluted the drama, the images in the film had a real weight to them, particularly when contrasted with the murky fuzz of other computer generated spectacles. During a pivotal bank robbery sequence, I felt like I was a child watching a Superman movie for the first time, such was the wonder and excitement wrought by the filmmaking. Mostly, though, I was surprised by the fact that, in a film like this, I actually found myself in uncharted territory. Something of a twist occurs late in the film, and I realized that I ... "

"With Halloween less than a month away, it’s time to start thinking about what to go as. That is, if you haven’t already. A good costume-loving cinephile typically knows well in advance what he or she will dress up as for Halloween (and Comic-Con, too). But if you’re one to wait until the last minute, and also one who likes to be a lot more contemporary than, say, dressing up as a Ghostbuster or Edward Scissorhands, I’ve got some suggestions for you for costumes based on recent films. Check them out after the jump. “Nuke the Fridge” - from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull For this costume, you need to prepare

"With Will Smith's recent film endeavors being less than satisfactory, it's all too easy to write off his career as burnt out (I about gnawed my arm off halfway through Hitch's banal, expatiated attempt at story-telling). What happened to the witty, quarrelsome yet charming personality that graced television in the early 90s? Or to the ordinary man turned hero that jerked tears in Independence Day? Still, with the Smith we all learned to love waving bye-bye to originality over a decade ago, it's nice to see a matured William take on this unconventional take of a superhero submerged in an ever-changing, hardly accepting society. Will Smith stars as Hancock, an alcoholic-vigilante with do-good on the mind yet do-wrong in his tactic. From destroying exquisite city buildings to wrecking havoc on oncoming trains, Hancock can't seem to get his shit together in accordance with society's view of a hero. Major props to Smith for even accepting such a daunting role, although it seems Hollyw ... "

"A friend with weed is a friend indeed. That is the lesson to be extracted from the latest comedy off the Judd Apatow assembly line, “Pineapple Express.” While it may get anti-marijuana advocates abuzz with consternation, it's a sweet little trip until a dramatic shift to violence quite literally calls the cops to this feel-good party. “Express” is laced with guffaws and gunplay, and while not as startlingly schizophrenic as this summer's “Hancock,” it still feels as though its personalities are squished together in such a forced fashion, it threatens to disrupt the good vibes it garners through much of the film. And, like all of Apartow's blockbuster comedies before it (“Knocked Up,” Superbad,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”), it overstays its welcome by at least 30 minutes. Imagine, if you will, an entire film devoted to the ganja-clouded escapades of Brad Pitt's Floyd, the moviewestoner he portrayed in Tony Scott's &ldqu ... "
