Hancock

I've never been excited to see superhero movies in my life. Ever. Ironically, the first video cassette that my dad bought me was Batman. When I was 5 and living in the Borneo, he went to Singapore and bought us many, many great stuff. We each got a pair of roller blades, a video cassette (my sister got The Little Mermaid, me Batman, my big brother got We're Back and my little brother got The Land Before Time). We also got a video game console which I think was a Nintendo although I'm not quite sure.

My dad also bought himself an electric razor, which was the end of our 3-hour haircut-session era.

Now, I'm so very excited to see Hancock, the latest superhero movie starring Will Smith. It's Will Smith, so it has to be good. His last movie was I Am Legend, and to me it was pretty nifty. Although the best film I've seen in the cinema this year is Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis (which is the bestselling French film of ALL TIME, easily beating out Amélie), but I Am Legend comes in a close second.

Can't wait to see Hancock. It'll be out on 9th of July. Although at that time I'll be in Italy with some Irish girl (oops did I just blurt out my secret summer travel plan?), I'll still be scouring around Milan, or Florence, or whichever Italian city I'm at, to watch the film. I must. I must.
