Hancock (Theaters)
Will Smith has always been one of my favorite actors to watch on the bigscreen. Since his appearance as Mike Lowrey in Bad Boys back in ‘95, I have loyally watched every film he has appeared in. Unfortunately, Smith chose the wrong film to star in this year. During a summer where blockbuster superhero films have dominated the box office, Hancock completely fumbled and flopped.
The premise of the storyline was a really promising one. Something out of the box and different from the rest. However, with such poor execution and a lack of an antagonist for that true superhero experience, this film was just not very good.
I thought Smith did his best to make the film as entertaining as possible, but even with his charm and genuine humor, he could not save it from mediocracy. I would rank Hancock right there beside Wild Wild West. One of Smith’s missteps throughout his otherwise phenomenal career.

Gears of War 2 Confirmed for Pre-Orders
After playing through the original Gears of War recently, I seriously can’t wait for its sequel! I had stumbled across a ton of rumors about a release date on the internet but many of them turned out to be false.
Today, while browsing Amazon.com I noticed Gears 2 was available for pre-order. I figure since Amazon is taking pre-orders with a release date set at November 30, 2008, it must be legit. Im thinking of picking up the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition

Ninja Warrior (Sasuke and Kunoichi) G4TV
If you haven’t seen Ninja Warrior (Sasuke) on G4TV yet, you’ve been really missing out on some incredible feats of skill. Already in its 20th season, I consider Ninja Warrior to be “The Best” sports entertainment show on television today.
During each season, hundreds of hopefuls tryout for the opportunity to compete in a four stage obstacle course which increases in difficulty as you advance. Before the show airs however, the competition is narrowed down to only 100 contestants with a shot at becoming the next Ninja Warrior. In the twenty seasons of competition, only two contestants have ever completed all four obstacles. Kazuhiko Akiyama in season 4 and Makoto Nagano in season 17. The courses prove to be so difficult and competitive that many of these contestants actually set up ninja warrior training grounds to practice months before the actual show.
