Watch 'Hancock' repair his image
"Hancock" — Will Smith stars as Hancock, a superhero with amazing powers who's also a drunk and a jerk. After saving the life of a public-relations guy named Ray (Jason Bateman), Hancock allows the guy to help him with his image. Hilarity ensues — for a while. Then the film takes a weird direction with an odd subplot about amnesia and immortality and gods. "Hancock" isn't a horrible movie, and it's not super-great, either. But it's good enough to make it the movie pick of this week. The film is being released in both theatrical and unrated editions. ALSO THIS WEEK "Pink Panther Ultimate Collection" — Wow. This is one of the biggest box set collections I've seen: 18 discs. The first nine discs have nine of the 10 feature films ("Return of the Pink Panther" isn't included because MGM doesn't own the rights); the remaining nine discs have all the Pink Panther and Inspector Clouseau cartoons (more than 190). COMEDY "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All" — This is the DVD release of Colbert's one-hour Comedy Central holiday special featuring musical guests John Legend, Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, Willie Nelson and Feist. John Stewart makes an appearance to sing a duet with Colbert — an original song entitled "Hanukkah." "George Carlin: It's Bad For Ya" — This is the late George Carlin's final HBO performance. Although this isn't George's best show, it is certainly his best set this decade. Special features include his 1969 appearance on "The Jackie Gleason Show" and selections from his 2007 three-hour interview for the Archive of American Television.
