Although the stated aim of the movie ads is to reach the 19-26 year olds, who dominate the Sex and the City fan base, the ad also will be shown in theaters playing movies like You Don't Mess with the Zohan and The Incredible Hulk raising speculation that young boys may be a target. Merck has acknowledged it is testing Gardasil on boys and young men who can carry the HPV virus with an eye to seeking FDA approval...
...rated comics franchises--has been digested. Even PG-13 comic-book movies are maturing. Batman keeps getting darker scripts, like Nolan's The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger (in his haunting last performance, as the Joker). Marvel Studios' first two movies, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, star Robert Downey Jr. and Ed Norton, Oscar-nominated actors with indie credibility.

That thought, however, is nearly always followed by this question: Why do they bother...
...Incredible Hulk Directed by Louis Leterrier; rated PG-13; out now Less a sequel to the murky Ang Lee Hulk than an atonement for it, this muscular saga has Dr. Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) morphing into a more plausible 10-ft. green guy. The rooftop chases owe much to the Bourne movies, while the creature's romance-mismatch with stalwart Betty (Liv Tyler) suggests a pretty good remake of King Kong...
