Now - the movie reviews!

Hancock

One of my most highly anticipated flicks to show up on DVD this Christmas season and it did not disappoint. The unrated version has a few extra scenes and one at the beginning that was cut for obvious reasons as well as being stupid and awkward. You'll know what scene I'm talking about as soon as you watch the unrated version. For a full review of Hancock, check out my theatrical review at http://www.mccookgazette.com/story/14421....

Fred Claus

Another flick I reviewed in theatres last year and after watching on DVD, I am even more bored with it than I was in theatres. I change my opinion a bit as this is not a film to watch again. Check out the original review at http://www.mccookgazette.com/story/12903....

There are two other movies released this week - Space Chimps and Meet Dave. Meet Dave is the latest Eddie Murphy movie where he plays more than one role - let me sum this review up in two words - STAY AWAY. To elaborate - DON'T RENT THIS GARBAGE. Space Chimps is not much better however I would rent it any day over Meet Dave. Space Chimps is exactly what the title describes - Chimps go into space. Meet Dave is the story of an alien race that arrives on Earth in a spaceship that looks like a human and not just any human - Eddie Murphy. Tantalizing.
