Last night, Linda and I got a babysitter and went out to see Hancock. I was pleasantly surprised. Although the story took a bit of a left turn about which I'm not sure how to feel, it had some moments at which I laughed harder than I have in a long time. I'd definitely recommend the movie.

I haven't yet seen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and at this point I may be waiting for it to come out on video. I've heard lukewarm reviews of the movie, but I can't imagine it being too much worse than Temple of Doom.

Another movie that got less than great reviews was The Happening. I'll likely also see this one at home once I can get it from Netflix. I do really like M. Night Shamalamadingdong - my favorite movie of his is actually Signs, although I liked Lady in the Water more than some other people seem to have.

Dark Knight comes out soon, and I really want to see that one in the theater rather than wait for its home release. I haven't been a huge fan of the DC remakes¹, but this one looks pretty good.

Wanted wasn't even on my radar until it was already in the theater, and I've never really liked any Angelina Jolie movies², but it's gotten some really good reviews, so I'd like to see it at some point.

Hellboy 2 is coming out soon too. If there weren't so many other options, I'd probably see it. I liked the first one a lot. But as things are, I'll likely catch it on video.

Lastly, Pineapple Express, a Seth Rogen action/comedy for which I've got high hopes. If you haven't seen this trailer, you should check it out. And speaking of trailers, take a look at the trailer for Know1ng. I'm not a fan of Nicholas Cage, but somehow I like the scripts he picks, and so I often end up liking his movies.
