You can choose your friends but not your relatives as the saying goes, but in Mel's case it seems to be the other way around! Patricia Arquette and Alan Alda star in this offbeat comedy that leads to a bit of self-discovery and a lot of neurotic mayhem! A charming little comedy.

HULK (2003)
Certification12 Our Rating
Where 'The Hulk' differs from recent comic book adaptations such as Spiderman, Batman and the awful Daredevil, is that there is no crime fighting ethic. The creature of the title is a genetic mutation unleashed and driven by anger and rage. What's more the genetic mutation was partly created by a fruitcake professor (Nolte) whose penchant for self-experimentation ensures his son Bruce (Bana) inherits a @*$*@%-up gene pool. For these reasons alone The Hulk has a darker and more sinister tone than
