Creature Creator reminds me a lot of those little keychain Tamagotchis that were all the rage back in fifth grade. Only now, instead of waiting for your digital critter to "hatch" or spending agonizing hours feeding it, you just get to create it and then watch it go. It's like being on the god side of the digital beast universe. Which is, obviously, effing sweet.

Summertime is movie time. More often than not we hear the boring term "summer blockbuster," which refers to a recent big-budget Hollywood juggernaut ("Wanted" comes to mind). Picture a giant beach ball getting tossed around-it might be fun to play with for a while, but in the end delivers little.

Depending on who you are there is some good news and some bad news about Hancock.
If you love superhero movies like The Incredible Hul¬k--where the traditional comic book structure of hero defeats super villain, finds romance and battles inner turmoil remains untouched¬--then you will most likely be disappointed by Hancock.
