Every once in a while, a production that has a huge build-up in hype before its release lives up to all the expectations placed on it and is worth the months of trailers and commercials. Will Smith's latest movie, "Hancock," is not that production.
Smith plays Hancock, an amnesiac who wants to remember what happened to his life, who he is and why his body is completely impervious to harm.

Nate Kaeding likes to think of himself as a down-to-Earth guy.
Easier said than done for the Coralville native/turned NFL star when one mulls over his résumé.

It would be completely wrong to say that Pixar Animation Studios has done it again with their latest flick "Wall-E." It still wouldn't be enough to describe the film as a milestone that completely transcends any animated reel of the past. Words are often a good weapon.

Ever since what some would call that fateful hour, when the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve and the calendars switched to 2005, Lincoln smokers have been a persecuted bunch.

There's an arresting moment in "WALL-E" where we're given a view of the earth from outer space.
Instead of the standard sparkling blues and healthy browns and greens, we see a dirty sphere whose features have been dulled by years of environmental neglect and abandon.
