My Own Worst Enemy is about a man. Actually two men–well, one man, two personalities, er, well, you’ll see.

Christian Slater plays a man plagued by an interesting problem: by day he’s Henry Spivey, an efficiency expert who lives in the suburbs with a wife (Yara Martinez) and the obligatory 2 children and a dog. His other personality is that of Edward Albright, a super-spy operative of the Janus Headquarters who speaks 9 languages, can run a 4 minute mile and is a trained killer.

The division between the two alter egos starts to break down when a chip implant in his brain malfunctions. The two different personalities start finding themselves fighting for control of the one body they inhabit.

I like Christian Slater. He brings an energy to the roles he plays that just agrees with me. He’s got the perfect steely glare that cuts to the chase as an operative.

Tyler Perry’s “The Family That Preys” just received a first official trailer over at Yahoo! Movies, and you can check it out just above. In a nutshell, the film centers on two very different families learning to work together. Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, KaDee Strickland, Sebastian Siegel and Tyler Perry star.

There’s not that much to say about the trailer except that it promises the usual Tyler Perry family drama and romance, and that’s fine with me as long as he manages to inject his projects with fresh ideas and engaging story lines. “The Family That Preys” marks the second film Perry releases this year, following his romantic drama “Meet the Browns.” Watch for it in theaters Sept. 12, 2008.
