1To be young and in love are a few of life’s simplest joys. Some search high and low, and some find it in the most typical places like school or the office. This week’s serving of Big Screen Tuesday is loaded with extra cheese to satisfy your heart’s cravings for some ooey gooey and uhh.. action?

 

What happens when you take a story like Kick-Ass and add tons more of drama? Just like every other superhero, Griff The Invisible isn’t much different from the rest—a shy and awkward office worker by day who turns into a dashing superhero by night. His secret identity however is jeopardized when he meets Melody, a young woman who shares the same passion for the impossible. True Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten plays the lead role in this new romantic comedy about a young superhero who himself needs to be saved. Did we mention that he does his own stunts in the movie, too?

Based on the novel by David Nicholls, One Day tells the story of two friends, and how they spend every July 15th (together or not) over the next 20 years since they spent a night together after college graduation. Anne Hathaway plays Emma, a Tex-Mex waitress who gradually fulfills her ambitions through hard work, alongside Jim Sturgess who plays Dexter, a successful TV producer who turns into a wreck after becoming addicted to alcohol and drugs. The big question is: Will these two ever end up more than just friends?—LADYZAZA
