A preview of movies opening this weekend: [ PREVIEW ]
"Alex and Emma" >> Rob Reiner's romantic comedy, starring Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson, is loosely based on the true story of how Fyodor Dostoyevsky found himself enamored of his stenographer. Hudson has a multiple-part role as the inspirational transcriber to Wilson's writer, as well as the female characters in his 1920s-set novel. (PG-13)
"From Justin to Kelly" >> After successfully staring down Simon Cowell, "American Idol" singers Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson (both with albums out) face their toughest judge yet -- the fickle movie-going public -- when they head to the beach for spring break. They play college students who meet, fall in love -- and break into song often. (PG)
"The Hulk" >> Director Ang Lee ("Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") adapted the Marvel Comics man-turned-monster character for the screen as a psychodrama striving to make viewers confront their inner Hulk. But this is supposed to be a summer blockbuster movie as well, so expect the CGI-created creature to go on a trademark "HULK SMASH!!!" rampage. Eric Bana plays the Hulk's alter ego Bruce Banner, a scientist whose failed experiments cause him to mutate into the green-skinned behemoth whenever he loses control of his emotions. Jennifer Connelly plays his love interest. (PG-13)
