X-Men Origins: Wolverine


Did you ever wonder about the story behind the X-Men superheros? This movie finally tells the story about Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) from his family to how he ended up with knives in his hands. An action packed movie that us adrenaline junkies will enjoy.

Watchmen


Set in the 1980's during a time where war between the U.S. and Soviet Union was heating up and a group of masked heroes had been forced to retire this comic book made into a movie focuses on a small group of the superhero retirees and their effort to help bring peace to the world. I enjoyed the movie and felt that Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley) made the movie. If you like the comic you will probably like the movie.

Hancock


Will Smith plays a not so superhero in this movie about a man with superhero powers but that most the world dislikes because he is bitter and mean. One day he saves Ray, (Jason Bateman) a public relations agent, who tries to repay him by cleaning up his image and making the world love him. As he gets to know Ray and his family Hancock finds out some new information about who he really is. An enjoyable movies because it was not your typical superhero movie.

Underdog


This movie is based on the old Underdog cartoon where a dog accidentally gets transformed into a "super" dog. He had to use his new powers to perform heroic acts and battle the mad scientist. This is a cute family film that won't win any awards, but is enjoyable to watch.
