hancock

we went last night to the grove and ate at the farmers market and went to see hancock for shannons birthday. it was fun. i got to eat at the crepe place which is one of my favorite fast food ish places in la. yum.

the movie was really really funny. the plot was a lot twistier than i thought - not as straightforward as the previews make it seem. will smith is so funny. his character, the drunken superhero gets a pr rep and makes over his image. when the pr guy (jason bateman) is convincing hancock that he needs his services he shows him a youtube video of hancock in shredded clothes shoving kids out of the way to get ice cream from the ice cream truck. hancock makes some comment about fighting crime "butt ass nekkid" and jason bateman says yeah you prolly shouldnt be doing that.

but i disagree. will smith fighting crime butt ass nekkid is not a public travesty it is a public service... come on peter berg! get it straight! anyways we enjoyed it and didnt find it cliched and predictable like the spiderman and fantastic four movies. go see it, but only take your kids if you are ok with the language and comic book type violence. besides the shredded clothes youtube video (and you cant really see anything except part of his butt) there isnt any nudity or sex. older kid friendly. :)

in other movie news, we saw previews for eagle eye (looks maybe good) and the dark knight (really excited) and another movie i want to see but cant remember the title.

has anyone seen wanted or get smart yet? those are the two movies i really want to see right now.
