You're SPECIAL (So Special)...

Speaking of superhero flicks, just recently caught the trailer for the upcoming Michael Rapaport flick, 'Special', and it actually looks kind of good. It seems he plays a run-of-the-mill average guy who digs comic books, somebody that is pretty much so plain that he's virtually 'invisible' to everybody around him.

All that changes when is accepted into an experimental drug study for a new anti-depressant. As he begins to take the drugs, an unexpected side effect occurs – he begins to develop 'special powers': the ability to levitate, to read peoples' minds and even walk through walls. Of course, upon discovery of these new 'abilities', the next logical step is to put together a homemade superhero suit and hits the streets to fight crime and the 'forces of evil'.

I'll let you watch the trailer, but (for obvious reasons) this sparks the ire of the pharmaceutical company manufacturing the drug, making them his 'arch-nemesis' in the process. Looks like an equally funny and sad little movie. It drops on 21-Nov, even though it debuted at the film fests over two years ago! Wow...
