First Thoughts: Just doesn’t look good at all, but it couldn’t be worse than Norbit.

Movie: Hancock (PG-13)
Starring: Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman, Eddie Marsan & Johnny Galecki

Synopsis: You have your heroes and there are the superheroes, but then there’s Hancock. He doesn’t exactly follow the normal superheroes path. He is conflicted, sarcastic and pretty much just doesn’t care. He tries to help out, but doesn’t exactly do so the way people would want or expect. One day he saves the life of a PR guy and that guy sets out to revamp Hancock’s image even though everyone thinks it is a lost cause.
First Thoughts: The reluctant hero that doesn’t care aspect of this interests me. I was going to go see it today, but it looks like I will be seeing it Friday morning as per usual.

Kit wants to go to the hobo camp to see things for herself and gets her new friends to take her there. She writes an article about it from a kid’s perspective. When the crime spree strikes her home, her loyalties are tested, as her hobo friends are being charged with the crime. So, she sets out to find out who are the real people behind all the crime.
First Thoughts: Not my cup of tea, but may be a fine choice for parents looking for something fun to take their kids to see.
