Marlowe Investigates HANCOCK!!


Merrick here...


There was a big screening of HANCOCK last night; Marlowe sent in his thoughts on the film.

THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS PIECE - more spoilers than review, actually.

PLEASE NOTE: the version screened last night was incomplete, so the film might change between now and it's early July release.

A Kid Tossing, Hard Boozing, FX Loving HANCOCK Trailer Arrives In Glorious QuickTime!!


Merrick here...


There's a new HANCOCK trailer over at Yahoo. It's rather similar in nature to the one which screened on AMERICAN IDOL a few weeks back - but expanded a bit.

Even though we're hearing extremely mixed feedback on this film, I'm still holding out hope that it may still be aiight. It opens in early July, presumably after IRON MANia has subsided. We'll see.

Action!! Effects!! Booze!! The New HANCOCK Trailer Has Some Pretty Cool Stuff In It!!


Merrick here...

A new trailer for HANCOCK premiered on TV last night & has already hit YouTube. It shows tons of action & visual effects; I love the shot of Will Smith powering through the air in his Superman pose with a bottle in one hand.

Another Quick Review Of HANCOCK!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Response seems decidedly mixed on this one so far. I like Peter Berg a lot. One of the first films I ever took shit for recommending on this site was VERY BAD THINGS, and over the years, I think he’s gotten better with each film.

Per yesterday's Talkbacks about superheroes throwing cars, here's one of several new images from Will Smith's HANCOCK.

The pics appear on dvd-forum, which can be accessed by clicking Will (that sounds wrong).

Bravado Says HANCOCK <I>Doesn't</I> Suck Ass??

Merrick here...


Earlier today we posted two reviews of HANCOCK that pretty much eviscerated the movie. You can find those reviews HERE.

Bravado just sent in a mini-review challenging the previous write-ups. You can see a trailer for the film HERE.

Peter Berg is directing DUNE, but apparently his HANCOCK sucks ass... joy...

Hey folks, Harry here... I like Peter Berg - but this DUNE thing scares the shit out of me. Rather than remaking this film, I'm more behind giving the entire budget to Lynch to finish out that full scale 5-6 hour version that he made, but really didn't get to finish. BUT - ok... Berg is making DUNE.... that's a done deal. It'll be our future reality. BUT his next released film is going to be HANCOCK - and wow... JV - who saw the film up in Plano... makes this film sound like a steaming turd to avoid at all costs.

JoBlo has the first look at the trailer for Will Smith's HANCOCK!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Over the last year I've heard nothing but good things about the script (surprising because there are more writers on this film than Oscars on Spielberg's shelf) and getting Will Smith to play a cranky, lazy superhero in a huge-budgeted comedy is pretty hard to mess up.

Images From The Set Of HANCOCK!! See Will On His Butt & Theron Lifting Trucks!!


Merrick here...

KaNkeRhOnD Extraordinaire sent in some photos from the filming of HANCOCK. This is the angsty, not-entirely-squeaky-clean superhero movie that was once called TONIGHT, HE COMES. That sounded kind of like a porn title, so they changed it to HANCOCK...which could also be twisted to sound like a porn title if one was smutty enough (which, evidently, I am if I noticed this).

Not sure what's going on in these shots. I hadn't heard anything about Theron's character being a superhero in this film...so I don't know what she's doing hoisting up that bigass truck. Maybe it's a dream/imagination sequence or something?
