Hancock

Another big goofy absurd story.  (Geesh . . . I gotta look for some realism somewhere).  And directer Peter Berg shoots like Hancock is an indy (a $150 million indy).  Lotsa handheld close ups . . .  real close up . . you can’t see the whole face the camera is so close.  We do find out that Charlize Theron has actual facial pores . . . so maybe she really is human.  But that kind of distracts from the story.  Oh . . . was that a spoiler?  Sorry.  I couldn’t wait for this big piece of noisey crap to be over.  [ RT ]

It will be a hit.  This just in from Variety: Sony’s Will Smith tentpole Hancock got off to a rip-roaring start, grossing between $6.7 million and $6.8 million from 3,680 theaters in Tuesday night previews.
