RT on DVD: Fred Claus, Hancock, and 24: Redemption

2. Hancock (Two Disc Unrated Edition) -- 38%



In a day and age where superheroes (and their movies) are a dime a dozen, it's refreshing to see a hero who is much more deeply flawed than the bookish Spider-Man, or the dark and depressed Batman; enter Hancock (Will Smith), a misanthropic, irresponsible, alcoholic superhero who uses his powers for good but leaves a litter of collateral damage in his wake.

Criticized for poor execution despite an intriguing premise, Hancock also stars Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron. The Two-Disc Unrated Special Edition includes both the theatrical cut and an unrated version of the film, a digital copy, and a dozen behind-the-scenes featurettes.

HA! Please, I remember when Vince Vaughn was funny. Now he sucks. I think he's in a even lamer holiday film with the horrible Reese Witherspoon. I will NOT see "Fred Claus".

Despite mixed reviews, I think I'll see "Hancock". Does anyone know the difference in the theatrical and unrated versions? Or is it like the "Talladega Nights" uncut version, with essentially no differences.

I'm a huge "The Colbert Report" fan, and I saw the christmas special, and it was hilarious! "Can I Interest You In Hannukah" is the best song. (Potato pancake), but I don't think I'll buy it. I don't buy TV specials.

Don't watch "24", so no comment on his TV movie, or whatver it is.

Ick, "Space Chimps", an animated film so bad it makes "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" almost look good. (Almost.) If I haven't made it clear, I don't want to do anything with it except avoid it.

Ew, it must be "dumpy family summer movies week" for the DVD market. And what's worse, this is probaly much better than things like "Norbit" or "Pluto Nash". Fire Eddie Murphy please!

People say "Hey, you're a teen, so you like things like 90210." No, I don't. Not that I'm knocking it, it's just not my thing.

As I've mentioned, (not here) I'm a Frat Pack fan. And this is the first Fratty film. And Scorsese likes it so I'm sold, when I can see it.

No real interest in anything this week. Like the critics say, Hancock had an interesting idea but not done right. I loved the graphic novel and novelization of The Death of Superman. I'm not sure about Superman Doomsday. I'd have to rent it first.

Like Judd Apatow? I do. Hate high school? Still do. The n this is for me, and it has a young Seth Rogen, and Jen, I think James Franco makes an appearence. I'll definately see that.

We began with "Fred Claus", and end with "Superman Doomsday" which is appropriate. Beginning and ending, with a whimper. I'm a big Superman fan and know of his comic book death, and his animated show. I loved the 1990's Batman TV show, but I don't like the Superman 90's show. Or his death in the comics. So I'll definately avoid this. This might be a good time for me to bring up the reboot film, but I won't. I'll just go and read an old Superman comic, BEFORE he died. It was never the same.

Thanks Jen.

I'll get Freaks and Geeks, Vince Vaughn is not a leading man and can only play wing.

I already have freaks and geeks, and the special cover isn't going to cause me to buy it again.

I don't for some reason own Bottle Rockets yet, so I will definitely get that tomorrow.

Also not planning on getting it, but didn't Dylan's wife in 90210 get shot because she was driving Dylan's car and the shooter thought it was him. Wow it is sad that I know that.

Freaks and Geeks is the best high school show of all time in my opinion. Has Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, James Franco, and a few others who are in the current Apatow comedies. It's good stuff, and so is Undeclared, with virtually the same cast.

Watched Hancock the other night and was quite surprised. I actually enjoyed it a lot. I wish they would have gone all the way and made it the R rating it was originally written for. Damn Hollywood, should've known they'd want a bigger audience. The original script was a lot raunchier.

12 months later? Hah. No one cares about it anymore. Did anyone ever? I saw the tv spot or the dvd release and thought, Who the hell wants to buy this 12 months later.

Poor Paul Giamatti. Hes actually a really good actor.
