--HANCOCK 2008--

John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy and reluctant superhero who is living in his own world. For some unknown reason, Hancock is depressed and has started drinking very heavily. He has saved many lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so, he has no regards for damaging buildings, trains, roads, cars, or anything that gets in his way of getting the job done. The last time he captured several criminals, it cost the city $9 million to fix the damages. The public has had enough of Hancock, and they want him to stop or go to another city. Then one day, Hancock saves the life of Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) from being run over by a train. Ray is a public relations executive who now can go home to his wife and child, because Hancock was there. Ray owes Hancock his life, and he makes it his mission to change his superhero's image and have the public cheering him. Ray's wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), believes Hancock cannot be fixed, and she doesn't want Ray to be hurt...

Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has accused protesters in Bangkok of trying to foment another coup."They want bloodshed in the country," he told journalists.In a day of stormy protests, supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) invaded government buildings and a state-run television station.Organisers of the demonstration have ignored a deadline to leave, vowing to keep supporters on the streets until the government falls.The protesters accuse Mr Samak of running the country on behalf of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup and now in self-imposed exile amid corruption charges.This is just the latest of a series of shows of force staged by the PAD over recent months.
