In a pathetic display of media-generated conformity, audiences rewarded the witless Hancock with a crushing victory at the box-office over the long 4th of July weekend. The inspiration-free actioner tallied $66M ($107.3M) to overwhelm the infinitely superior Wall-E ($33.4M/$128.1M) and further enshrine milquetoast weirdo Will Smith as the putative king of the box-office.

We've been looking at billboards for BloodRayne all over the city without much enthusiasm for weeks now. (What is Ben Kingsley doing in this movie? We'd rather see him in Ghandi II: Electric Boogaloo). But when we stopped at a light on Fletcher near the LA River yesterday, we yelped with delight.
