Ellen, Rainn, and Liv Make For a Super Trio
Rainn Wilson is about to step out of The Office and into comic book territory. In the upcoming comedy Super, Wilson will play an average Joe who pretends to be a superhero to win his wife (Liv Tyler) back from a drug dealer. Calling himself Crimson Bolt, Wilson's character uses a wrench to make up for what he lacks in powers.

Families Are Kooky! Previews for Smother and Easy Virtue
These two movies might take place in completely different countries and time periods, but the Monster-in-Law/Meet the Parents/isn't-family-wacky overtones are the same. If there's anything to take away from the trailers for Smother and Easy Virtue it's "beware the in-laws!"
We've been keeping an eye on Easy Virtue for a while now, seeing as it's Jessica Biel's (as a bright blonde?) first big leading lady role in a comedy — a British comedy that takes place in the 1920s, no less.
The Incredible Hulk: Most Improved But Not the Best
Bringing Marvel's Hulk to the big screen is a challenging undertaking. For one thing, the idea of the Hulk is just funny: when a guy loses his temper he morphs into a giant green monster who smashes things. Plus, that green monster in ripped-up pants is just cartoonish, any way you slice it.
The Strangers: Slow and Steady Gets the Scare
The Strangers director Bryan Bertino takes a simple storyline based in reality ("inspired," in fact, by true events) and tells it with such careful realism that our own basic human terror, usually lying dormant within us, rises inescapably to the surface. He has figured out a perfectly lethal recipe for horror movie success: take a large dose of realism, add a few scary things and then patiently wait for the fear to rise.
This movie is a great example of a horror/suspense film done well.
Movie Preview: The Strangers
I'm currently working on my full review of The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman but I'll go ahead and tell you now: it's so scary! I'm posting the full trailer here today to get you scary movie fans pumped up, and to remind you that there are some cool, smaller movies making their way into theaters nowadays besides the big blockbusters.
But OMG I cannot even watch this trailer!
What's the New Hulk Movie's Biggest Challenge?
Recently The LA Times ran a piece that analyzes the bumpy road it's been to bring the latest Marvel comic book hero, The Incredible Hulk, to the big screen.
First and foremost there's the question of "why?" Ang Lee's disappointing stab at it was out in theaters a mere five years ago.
The Incredible Hulk Teaser Trailer Arrives!
While the results of my comic book adaptation poll leaned toward the "I'm sick of these movies" option, many of you commented that there are some movies based on comic books that you simply cannot wait to see — and The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton is one of those. And now, after nearly a year of following this project, we have a teaser trailer for this summer blockbuster.
Edward Norton will earn my sympathy and support pretty much every time, so watching him struggle with his powers and his identity — which takes up the majority of the trailer; we don't see an inch of green skin until about two-thirds of the way in — is actually pretty interesting.
First Look: Liv Tyler in The Strangers
Apparently this trailer is R-rated, though I can't say I see much of anything too racy in it. The preview for the horror film The Strangers, does get pretty scary toward the end, though, and I like both her and Scott Speedman, so I'll be interested to see this film when it comes out in October.
The plot outline is pretty basic: "A young couple cozied up in a vacation home are terrorized by three unknown assailants."
