There was Nothing Wrong with that Movie!
Quote James upon the credit roll of Hancock
So far, the summer has disappointed me when it comes to bad movies. They have been good! Wanted was way better than expectations, and now Hancock was also quite entertaining.
I expected to laugh at Will Smith and enjoy his comedy carrying the movie. But it did not entirely rest upon his talents. And joy of joy - Charlize Theron is in a scene wearing a loose tank top with MACALESTER in the blue and orange!
BLUE AND ORANGE
BLUE AND ORANGE
OUR COLORS ARE
BLUE AND ORANGE
THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT RHYME WITH ORANGE
GOOOOOOO MAC!
Turns out Peter Berg - the film-making Mac Grad did Hancock. Hats off to you Mr. Berg! After reading a few reviews, I really did not expect such an engaging story line. And the plot twists took me by surprise - though I found out in the car ride home that Michelle figured out some of them before hand.
Good stuff. Will be buying that one on DVD.
Updated: Interesting interview with Pioneer Press - with some hints about deleted scenes that look fun.
That was my reaction to Get Smart which I went to last night. I was fearing the worst, but what I saw was surprisingly good. It was far less silly than I thought, and made many references as an homage to the original, including a scene with the original Siegfried that was hilarious. Recommended.
