1: Hancock
Lets just say that I watched this movie is the most horrible manner. Third row from the front. To make matter worst, we all fell sick after watching the movie due to the fact that the movie was shot in a shaky manner. Apart from that, Will Smith is the hottest African American alive :). Such a great body, height and face. Charlize Theron looks incredibly different in the movie. Shes good looking as well. I bet the guys would be drooling watching her in the film. Film is pretty good. Storyline contains several scenes that would make people laugh or tear. Smart choice of actors I must say. Ahuh another superhero movie this year although it is not your typical superhero or comic book adaptation film.
John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world. For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily. He has saved many lives in Los Angles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way to get the job done. The last time he captured several criminals, it cost the city $9 million to fix the damages. The public has had enough of Hancock, and they want him to stop or go to another city. Then one day, Hancock saves the life of Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from being run over by a train. Ray is a Public Relations executive who now can go home to his wife and child, because Hancock was there. Ray owes Hancock his life, and he makes it his mission to change his superhero's image and have the public cheering him. Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), believes Hancock can not be fixed, and she doesnt want Ray to be hurt. (IMDB, 2008)

2:Wanted
Ahh yes I have heard people talking about how hot Angelina Jolie looks in the film. Guys guys *ahem. The film is pretty violent to be honest but absolutely entertaining. I love how the story moves until the end. Graphic novel adaptations are getting extremely popular. I have no idea why though. Perhaps graphic novels was already a major hit to most of the people. Therefore, adaptations are done as it would attract viewers.
"Wanted" tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, we're introduced to a hero for a new generation: 25 year old employed slacker, WESLEY GIBSON. Wes is the most disaffected, cube-dwelling, clock-punching drone this planet has ever known. His boss chews him out hourly, his girlfriend ignores him routinely, and his life plods on in interminable boredom and routine. Everyone knows this disengaged slacker will amount to absolutely nothing, and so does he, until he meets a women by the name of FOX, and then everything changes. Wes' estranged father is murdered, and the deadly Fox recruits him into The Fraternity, a secret society that trains him to avenge his father's death, by unlocking his dormant powers. And oh boy does he have powers, as she teaches Wes how to develop his lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, he discovers that The Fraternity lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: to carry out the death orders given by emotionless Fate itself. Wes, with his wickedly brilliant and sexy tutor, plus the paternal guidance of The Fraternity's enigmatic leader, SLOAN, young Wes grows to enjoy all the strength and success he ever wanted. But, slowly, he realizes there's more to his dangerous associates than meets the casual eye. And, as he wavers between new found heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one can ever teach him; that he alone controls his destiny

3: The Dark Knight (Batman)
As much as I love Batman films especially Batman Begins. This is without a doubt the best made Batman film. Ahh yes. Actors plays a vital role here. With actors like Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Aaron Echart, Morgan Freeman---> The film contains a solid crew of actors. Without a doubt Heath Ledger's character of Joker in the film overshadows all the other characters. His brilliant acting shows his versatility in tackling various roles. This would be one of his best performance. The joker definitely leaves a deep impression to most as his characteristics haunts the mind. I bet audiences have some kind of love/hate relationship with his character. The plot of the film keeps audiences hungry for more. People were making wild guesses on what would happen next. The storyline was twisted with the unexpected happening. I would say bravo to Christopher Nolan and his crew for producing such a fabulous film. The film has earned the reputation of the most anticipated movie of the year. I would say that this is the best film of the year so far. The mise-en-scene of the film is just great. Highly recommended! although might be some parts appearing a little too draggy. Go Watch the freaking film now!
lol I have been waiting for the release of this film for such a long time and I finally get to watch it during the opening. How awesome is that?
Set within a year after the events of Batman Begins, Batman, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new district attorney Harvey Dent successfully begin to round up the criminals that plague Gotham City until a mysterious and sadistic criminal mastermind known only as the Joker appears in Gotham, creating a new wave of chaos. Batman's struggle against the Joker becomes deeply personal, forcing him to "confront everything he believes" and improve his technology to stop him. A love triangle develops between Bruce Wayne, Dent and Rachel Dawes. (IMDB,2008)
