While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Marvel's 'Incredible Hulk' Beefy But Doesn't Satisfy

NPR | By Kenneth Turan

Published June 12, 2008 at 11:00 PM CDT

If you've ever gotten really angry, you feel a kinship with "The Incredible Hulk." First he gets mad, then he turns green, and then he gets even, flattening everything in sight.

Morning Edition and Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan says Marvel Entertainment's resurrection of the monster for the big screen is solid and efficient, if not particularly adventurous. And it has a problem ending.
