Hancock. 5/10. Not as bad as feared. The middle of the movie was pretty nice, where he was learning to be a nice hero. The rest was pretty boringly random.

Superman 2 The Richard Donner Cut
I think its a lot better movie from what I remembered, but some of the stuff mostly the ending leaves me ARGH.
-First off they use a new time travelling element like the end of the first film.
-Second, they keep the scene in which Clark goes back to beat up a dude at a bar. Superman wouldn't beat up a person just for picking on him!
Disappointing. I really liked the first one but this one was so disjointed and so insane that it actually circled around and became boring. Although when it went into Godzilla mode...that was brilliant.
I saw Knowing, probably about a month ago.. Wasn't anything special, and it was pretty obvious. But I must say, the plane crash was the best scene I've ever seen in any movie, because of the sound..
Very good. It's a continuation of the Japanese drama, Galileo, where a university physics professor teams up with a rookie detective to solve cases that usually at first appear paranormal. All of which are based on a series of novels. I watched the series last year which I enjoyed, but the movie was a step up and stands alone very well with a self contained murder mystery.

Re: Last movies you saw
I watched The Hours last night. Not a movie I normally seek out, but my mom got it on Netflix so I watched it with her. I swear this movie came out in 2005 or 2006, but apparently it came out in 2002. Anyway, it's intense and dramatic and sad as hell, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Many good performances in it. I had to drink a lot of wine during and afterward though because it bummed me out.
I just saw Wolverine Origins and I just can't believe Stan Lee let his name get attached to that film. I guess they offered him large sums of money....
Anyway, we all know Origins was shit so I'll talk about the other film I watched, which was W..
W. was not very good...at all...Oliver Stone has some good ideas, and he's a great cinematographer. And Josh Brolin did a helluva job playing George Bush Jr. I wasn't sold on him at first, but as the movie went on his acting got better and the role became believable. And that's about it. The movie was exaggerated, made too many personal implications about the Bush family, and it kept alluding to Bush's God-agenda. It portrayed Bush senior pretty negatively too. But the weirdest part is that the movie was released right before Bush finished his 2nd term...why not just wait till Bush is done?
It was an interesting biopic, but it needed more humor and less exaggeration. And this whole, "Bush is on a crusade through some higher power" this was overdone imo. I'm all for the juxtaposition of religion's peaceful message and war, but meh.
I've seen too many shitty movies in the past 72 hours. Need to go clense myself with good cinema...bleh.
