LIV Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith rock god Steve, still can't find her niche in the movies.

She was fine as Arwen in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but was naturally overshadowed by the sheer scale of the entire trilogy.

You'd have to go back to 1996 releases Stealing Beauty and Tom Hanks' That Thing You Do! - when I was lucky enough to meet her - to find a time when she radiated promise to match her looks.

Apart from the overlooked One Night at McCool's (2001), her career has often disappointed - think Jersey Girl in 2004.

Shame. Liv's not a bad actress. Has the Hollywood pedigree. And she looks unique.

But this weekend's release The Strangers isn't how I want to see her.

Crawling around on the floor in the face of an unseen enemy isn't my idea of fun... and, as you'll see in my Friday review, it's doubtful anyone would ever want to watch the first half an hour of this horror film ever again.

+ Meanwhile, hands up if you realised that Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone) could still only be 28 today. It's also hard to believe that it was back in 2003 that he starred as the incredibly annoying Michael Alig in Party Monster.

His last film, Sex and Breakfast (2007) is about couples using anonymous group sex to sort themselves out.

Yeah, right. Could be a key reason why we're unlikely to ever see it over here... unless it's in a DVD bargain bin.
