Seems Promising...

With a huge all star cast featuring comedy kings such as Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and , Robert Downey Jr. {who, by the way, is in black makeup for this film} this movie is sure to make you laugh.

Premiering August 13, 2008, Tropic Thunder is about a group of spoiled actors sent to Vietnam to film a movie. This group set out to make the "most expensive war movie," but eventually the producers shut them down.

After that the fun begins when the self absorbed actors are forced to encounter real bad guys and real war situations in Southeast Asia.

Also make sure to look out for some cameos by Nick Nolte and Tom Cruise.

With this cast, and the great makeup job done to Robert Downey Jr, I can't wait to take a peek at this movie.

Check out Tropic Thunder on the IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/ , and look for the review on this blog, coming soon!!

Hancock

Big police chase. Guns going off. Banks getting robbed. Chaos ensuing and all. What is a city to do? Well, here comes Hancock, like it or not, to the rescue!!

His style of hero is much different from the norm, which is what makes this movie fun. He's rough, gruff, and out of control. He drinks, he smells, and he really doesn't seem to care what people think of him. His fashion of heroism involves wreaking more havoc than the criminals; perching a group of robbers on the point of a tall building stuck in their car... It's refreshing to see a brand new take on heroes; that they can be "human" too.

Then one day the gruff Hancock saves the life of Ray {Jason Bateman}, a public relations manager and a very nice man. Hancock is impressed with Ray and seems to really like him. Ray and Hancock become friends, and the story continues from there. Ray helps Hancock with his PR problems...

There is also a clever plot twist you never would have seen coming. This movie has it all. It's funny, packed with action, laughs, and lovable moments.

I give Hancock 5 stars: because yes, I really liked it that much. It was fun to watch, and even the end left you with a smile on your face.

I definitely recommend seeing this movie as soon as you can. As for taking the kids? Depends. There is some strong language used in this movie {"Hancock, you smell like alcohol!" "That's cuz I'm drunk, bitch!} so I'd say keep it for the older set.

So, until next time, happy viewing!!
