Is it really two more weeks until "Hancock" opens here? Los Angeles is in the midst of an Epic Heat Wave that has us looking ahead to what overly air-conditioned hole we can crawl into this weekend and coming up disappointed. Not the mall, again.

The Europeans are getting their peek at the anti-superhero superhero flick now, like at this premiere in Berlin presided over by co-stars Will Smith (two-time Oscar nominee for "Pursuit of Happyness" and "Ali") and Charlize Theron (Oscar winner for "Monster," nominated, too, for "North Country").

With the mercury still rising, we may have to do a "Kung Fu Panda" repeat. Anything but "The Love Guru," which we're convinced would boil our brains more than the 100-degree temps.
