Friday the 13th is upon us everyone and there are no killers lurking around in hockey masks with big machetes. Well, not at the theatres there aren’t, but I’m sure a couple channels at home are showing them repeatedly. Nope, on the big screen we are being treated to our next big hit of the summer as Edward Norton tries to salvage a franchise that Eric Bana couldn’t jumpstart. M. Night Shyamalan also has a new one coming out, but I’m sure the big green guy is what you’re all after.
Wide Release
The Incredible Hulk – Starring Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, and more. Dr. Bruce Banner is a fugitive on the run and quite possibly the biggest threat to everything known to man. But what the American government doesn’t realize is that the alter-ego of Banner, a giant green Hulk, could actually be the answer to every one of their problems. If…he could learn to control it.
The Happening – Starring Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo, and more. A family is on the run from an inexplicable and unstoppable event that threatens not only humankind–but the most basic human instinct of them all: survival.

Encounters At The End Of The World – Filmmaker Werner Herzog travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, on Ross Island, the headquarters for the National Science Foundation and home to eleven hundred people during the austral summer.

Beyond the settlement, Herzog ventures from the under-ice depths of the Ross Sea to the brink of the Mount Erebus volcano. Over the course of his journey, nature in the wild shares equal time with human nature and he encounters many a colorful character along the way. Opened on Wednesday, June 11.
