Watch Movie with Nuffnang Community

As Nuffnang's community grew larger each day and as token of appreciation they decided to giving out more to the community. This time they are giving away FREE tickets to their own blogging community to watch the movie 'Hancock' on the 7th of July 2008, 9.30pm at Cathay Cineplex , The Curve.

There are heroes... there are superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility -- everyone knows that -- everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake.Hancock isn't the kind of man who cares what other people think -- until the day that he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all.
