Hancock

Rating: PG-13

Stars (out of 4): * 1/2

Length: 1 hour, 32 minutes

Synopsis: This reimagining of the superhero as a loathesome, foul-mouthed, often inept beast can't even be saved by Will Smith. For while, it seems as if the improbable storyline will somehow work. But then it devolves into the terrible movie you expect. And given the sailor-caliber swearing, how it earned a PG-13 rating is a mystery.

Don't listen to the "official" critics reviews. If you like special effects and Will Smith you will enjoy the movie. The movie has a great twist at the end. There are many jokes that are crude, but funny. If you enjoyed Will Smiths previous movies you will like this one.

Tropic Thunder

Writer-director-star Ben Stiller makes a movie about making a movie that no movie-maker should ever have made. And it's a riot. This is the project that Stiller will be known for, a Vietnam War epic satire that all those years spoofing Hollywood, the industry he grew up in and the people who run it, were leading up to. Showtimes, review and more. Watch trailer.
