• The Incredible Hulk—PG-13—This latest adaptation of the comic book stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner. Banner lives in the shadows, cut off from his life and the woman he loves (Liv Tyler), as he desperately hunts for a cure for the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashed the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. He is on the run from the military, led by General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), which wants to capture him and exploit his power. But when he is confronted with a new adversary known as The Abomination, whose destructive power exceeds even The Hulk's, he must decide whether to live in peace as Bruce Banner or become a hero as The Hulk.

• The Happening—R—The newest thriller from director M. Night Shyamalan is about a family on the run from an inexplicable and unstoppable event that threatens humankind. It comes with no warning – within minutes episodes of strange, chilling deaths that defy reason erupt in major American cities. No one knows what's causing it. Is it a terrorist attack, an experiment gone wrong, a toxic weapon, an out of control virus? Philadelphia high school science teacher Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Alma (Zooey Deschanel), their friend Julian (John Leguizamo) and his 8-year old daughter all hit the road, heading for the Pennsylvania farmlands where they hope they'll be able to escape the attacks. But it soon becomes clear that no one, and nowhere, is safe.
