Former Creed singer takes acoustic route
ST. LOUIS — Scott Stapp, known for the big, loud concerts he performed as lead singer of arena rock band Creed, strips it all down on his latest tour.
"I'm excited to get out there and bare my soul." Stapp says. "I'm breaking the songs down to the core, and this enables me to really push my boundaries as a vocalist."
He says the shows feature him and a friend on a pair of acoustic guitars, playing Creed hits and
songs from Stapp's first solo album,
"The Great Divide" (2005).
Translating the hits of Creed, whose biggest songs include "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open," to acoustic versions was an easy task for Stapp because the songs were originally written acoustically, he says.
He'll also cover songs that he has come to love over the years. Some of those songs might include the Doors"Riders on the Storm" and "Light My Fire," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Alice Cooper's "18."

"The Office" actor becomes quirky superhero in 'Super'
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Best known as Dwight, the perpetually failing schemer on "The Office," Rainn Wilson is blessed with a swell face for a cut-rate, homemade superhero mask. Those glaring eyes really pop through. And the actor's way of italicizing his comic reactions to the latest perceived or genuine slight has a way of filling out even an ill-fitting crime fighter's uniform.
In writer-director James Gunn's "Super," Wilson plays Frank, aullen fry cook who is good and sick of feeling like a loser. His recovering addict wife (Liv Tyler) has been seduced, both chemically and sexually, by a drug-dealing Lothario (Kevin Bacon). Frank speaks to God, pleading for guild-
ance. Zoning out in front of the TV, watching a Christian network, Frank gets an idea via a superhero character known as The Holy Avenger (Nathan Fillion): Why not become his own superhero savior, The Crimson Bolt, and get that woman off his back? With the hyperactive assistance of a comics store clerk who nicknames herself "Bolite", the wrench-wielding Frank starts putting both scum and casual transgressors alike in the hospital, or the morgue.

Ellen Page, as the clerk with the insatiable bloodlust, is the best thing about "Super." "We could get claws! Like Wolverine!" she says, so excited she can barely contain herself. The face-gashings and blood geysers grow increasingly explicit in "Super," partly for laughs, partly because Gunn — who started out writing for

SUN(2:30) 7:00
FRI: 9:15 ONLY
SAT: (4:40) 9:15
SUN: (4:40) 9:15
The film's limitation is its familiarity. The notion of an ordinary citizen becoming a superhero, with or without superpowers, carries little creative currency at this point in time. Still, Wilson does amusingly steely work, while Page goes bonkers, giving her gleeful nut job one of the more memorable laughs in recent American film history.
THE ILLUSIONIST (PO)
FRI-SAT: NO SHOWS
the notorious trashmeisters of Troma films and directed a very good killer movie, "Slither"—has an interest in complicating, to some degree, the audience's attitude toward Frank. He's like the schlubby second cousin to the George C. Scott character in the revenge thriller "Hardcore", a scold when it comes to his side-kick's expletives ("No cussing!") and a righteous kettle of violence.

Law & Order creator:
Ulrich's exit 'painful'
LOS ANGELES — Dick Wolf, the creator of the "Law & Order" franchise, has seen more than his share of actors come and go from his dramas. But his decision to remove Skeet Ulrich from "Law & Order: L.A." was particularly hard.
"Sometimes someone has to die so that everyone else can live," Wolf said during a conference call to promote the April 11 return of the drama, which has been off NBC's schedule since last November. "It was a very, very painful call to make."
