At 10:30 p.m. last Thursday, I felt like hitting the grass.
311 was energetically finishing up their last set with "Who's Got the Herb?" while I was frantically searching for my green Ford Escort in the dark amongst other dark cars.

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.
