I recently had the opportunity to view Will Smith's latest film, Hancock. This is a film about a super hero who is immortal, can fly, and has super immense strength. However those are his good traits. Hancock also suffers from a alcohol addiction and is a homeless bum. The film's first half is nicely paced as the audience is not put to sleep by the introduction, however once you think you now were the story is going the filmmakers throw a curve ball into the movie. An unexpected twist and now half way through we have a totally different film on our hands. Overall the movie was good and entertaining, however the movie's story line leaves you looking for more. I would like to stress the PG-13 rating on this movie because of the heavy use of language. This film is a totally new look for Will Smith: he is a drunk and a fowl mouth. I applaud him from trying out new roles and characters. My only wish and hope for him however is that he gets better at them as he goes.
I give it three and a half out of five stars.

Many people are all pumped up to go see this new batman movie. The only problem I have with all the press on this movie is that if Heath Ledger was still alive would this film be getting all this hype. Dont get me wrong this film looks to be the best batman ever, or at least since the very first batman (1989) directed by Tim Burton and also featuring the joker as the main villian. There is something about the joker character that people cant seem to get enough of. It might be his ruthlessness, or lack of remorse that draws the attention of the audience. Non the less whatever it is, the attraction has gained a large following and Im going to go out on a limb here and saw that the Dark Knight is going to be the highest grossing film of the year. Remeber to check it out in theatres July 18 and if you have an IMAX near you, this would be a great film to see in that format.
