Tropic Thunder - 7.5/10

A good Ben Stiller style comedy/action movie. The Les Grossman scenes were phenomenal, the actors making fun of actors was very well done, and the little asian kid playing the Poppy King character was awesome. As always, some of the humor fell flat for me, but when you're trying to make everyone laugh, that happens. The jokes that feel flat for me make someone out there laugh their ass off, and they hate the jokes I loved.

Hancock - 5.5/10

A fun action romp superhero movie, until they started not explaining a damn thing that was going on, for no real good reason. It's as if you were watching a Robin Hood movie, and suddenly Friar Tuck is a kick ass kung fu artist, and it's never explained why. It goes outside what you expected (which is great!) but never gives any context as to how or why. Still, a passable film.
