Now playing

28 Weeks Later ***1/2

Robert Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Jeremy Renner. Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. 99 minutes. Rated R.

Opening during the outbreak depicted in the original film, Weeks wastes no time in first creating and then compromising our loyalty. No sooner have we been introduced to married survivors Don (Carlyle) and Alice than we’re watching our ostensible hero callously abandon his wife to the infected hordes. Seven months pass. The epidemic, successfully contained, is now over. (Ha.) Civilians slowly return to what remains of London, now under military jurisdiction; among the first wave of resettlers is our cowardly buddy Don, who’s been reunited with his two young children. Credit Fresnadillo for continually finding new and innovative ways of creeping us out, from a lengthy sequence shot through a night-vision rifle scope to the unexpected lyricism of one character’s post-transformation onslaught. –MD

300 **

Gerard Butler, David Wenham, Lena Headey, Vincent Regan. Directed by Zack Snyder. 117 minutes. Rated R.

The film is about the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. Thanks to the whiny indecision of corrupt religious leaders and spineless bureaucrats, Spartan King Leonidas (Butler) is unable to take his full army to meet the massive Persian forces, and must make do with only 300 of his best soldiers, acting as his personal retinue. It’s brutal, it’s painful, it’s mind-numbing and, most disturbingly, it’s a rallying cry for the testosterone-heavy that posits “no mercy” as the most noble sentiment in the world. –JB

After the Wedding **1/2

Mads Mikkelsen, Rolf Lassgard, Sidse Babett Knudsen. Directed by Susanne Bier. 120 minutes. Rated R.

Mikkelsen sinks into the role of Jacob, a man with a mysterious past who runs an orphanage in India. He flies to Denmark to meet with a rich bigwig, Jørgen (Lassgård), and raise money to run his organization. Jørgen invites Jacob to his daughter’s wedding, where Jacob runs into an old flame, now Jørgen’s wife, Helene (Knudsen). He does the math and realizes that he’s the birth father of the young blushing bride, Anna (Christensen). None of this will be particularly surprising to anyone who’s ever watched a soap opera or a melodrama. –JMA

Away From Her ***

Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent, Michael Murphy, Olympia Dukakis. Directed by Sarah Polley. 110 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Grant and Fiona have been married for more than 40 years when the film begins. We get the sense that for the last several years they’ve had a happy life. That is, until Fiona begins forgetting things, and the onset of Alzheimer’s threatens their close bond. There’s much to like in this assured and insightful debut. As in most films directed by actors, the performances are strong all around. Polley makes effective use of a fractured narrative and some luminous visuals. –BS

Black Book ***1/2

Carice van Houten, Sebastian Koch, Thom Hoffman. Directed by Paul Verhoeven. 145 minutes. Rated R.

The film starts with the bombing of the farmhouse in which Dutch Jew Rachel Stein (van Houten) has been hiding from the Nazis, and that sets her on an odyssey through the underground resistance, where she dyes her hair blond and takes on the name Ellis de Vries. Not content simply to lay low until the war ends, Rachel/Ellis teams up with anti-Nazi fighters to take on the German occupants of Holland. The staid World War II epic has become Hollywood’s most boring awards-baiting genre, and Black Book sidesteps all that by being unabashedly lurid and melodramatic, with tons of suspense and plenty of silly plot twists. In Dutch and German with English subtitles. –JB

Boy Culture (Not reviewed)

Derek Magyar, Patrick Bauchau, Darryl Stephens. Directed by Q. Allan Brocka. 88 minutes. Not rated.

A successful male escort describes in a series of confessions his tangled romantic relationships with his two roommates and an older, enigmatic male client.

Bug ****

Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, Harry Connick Jr. Directed by William Friedkin. 102 minutes. Rated R.

Cocktail waitress Agnes (Judd) lives a sad, lonely existence, hiding from a sadistic ex (Connick) and mourning the loss of a young son. Her best friend introduces her to Peter (Shannon), and they hit it off. Before long, Peter begins to feel bug bites and announces that bugs are crawling around under his skin. Agnes begins to believe him, and she, too, suffers bites. This is a crazy, intense creepster of a movie, masterfully directed in great sinking movements. It’s The Exorcist for a darker time. –JMA

Delta Farce (Not reviewed)

Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, DJ Qualls. Directed by C.B. Harding. 90 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Three bumbling Army reservists bound for Iraq are accidentally dropped at a Mexican village besieged by hostile forces.

Disturbia ***

Shia LaBeouf, Sarah Roemer, Carrie-Anne Moss. Directed by D.J. Caruso. 104 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Kale Brecht (LaBeouf) is confined to his house. His only visitors are his friend Ronnie and love interest Ashley (Roemer). His life is quickly reduced to a vicarious existence as he spends his time looking out the window at his neighbors. Paranoia sets in and he begins to suspect one of them could be a killer. Our protagonist is on house arrest, complete with alarm on his ankle. This is both a strength and a weakness. As remakes of Hitchcock masterpieces (Rear Window) go, this one is actually pretty good, at least until the climax devolves into a slasher flick. –BS

DOA: Dead or Alive ***

Jaime Pressly, Holly Valance, Sarah Carter, Devon Aoki. Directed by Corey Yuen. 87 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Based on the video game of the same name, Yuen’s DOA: Dead or Alive starts fast, moves fast and ends before you know it. Like a cross between Charlie’s Angels and Enter the Dragon, the action revolves around an annual fight tournament on a remote island. The best fighters in the world, each with a different style, are invited to join. DOA: Dead or Alive is unquestionably brain-dead, but also a great example of unpretentious, second-gear celluloid, generated quickly, cheaply—and for the fun of it. –JMA

The fire guy and the shiny guy battle it out in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer **

Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis. Directed by Tim Story. 92 minutes. Rated PG.

In the new sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the superhero team’s problems begin when first class is overbooked. Their problems continue in the same vein. The million-dollar wedding between Mr. Fantastic and Sue Storm, aka the Invisible Girl (Alba), is over-publicized, and Sue worries about how they’re going to raise a family when they’re so famous. Their wedding is subsequently interrupted when the Silver Surfer begins blowing holes in the planet and knocking out electrical systems. Unfortunately, he’s just the minion of the planet-eater Galactus, who has now been informed that Earth is on the menu. The film hinges entirely on these gigantic, yet straightforward, simple conflicts, resulting in little or no emotional involvement in the characters. –JMA

The fire guy and the shiny guy battle it out in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Georgia Rule *1/2

Lindsay Lohan, Jane Fonda, Felicity Huffman. Directed by Garry Marshall. 113 minutes. Rated R.

This rather feeble fish-out-of-water comedy stars Lohan as a rebellious teen named Rachel, who’s been sent to live with her sassy grandma (Fonda) in a movie-stereotype small town in Idaho to learn some old-fashioned values. Then this happens, at about half an hour into the movie: Rachel casually divulges the fact that her stepfather started sexually abusing her when she was 12 years old. This unexpected revelation changes the whole tenor of the film—or at least it should. But Marshall blithely soldiers on with the city-girl-in-a-small-town hijinks, and Rachel’s past as a serial liar throws the whole sexual-abuse scenario into doubt in an uncomfortable and dramatically unsatisfying manner. –JB

Gracie *

Carly Schroeder, Dermot Mulroney, Elisabeth Shue. Directed by Davis Guggenheim. 95 minutes. Rated PG-13.

In 1978 New Jersey, Gracie (Schroeder) has an oddly close, tender relationship with her brother. They never fight, and she tells him she loves him just before he gets into a car with his buddies. Not surprisingly, he dies. Gracie decides to try out for his place on the soccer team, but everyone else agrees that it’s crazy for girls to play soccer. Gracie tumbles headfirst into the tired, bloated “inspirational sports drama” formula, following each required turn so blindly and blandly that it ends in yawns rather than cheers. –JMA

Hostel: Part II ***

Lauren German, Roger Bart, Heather Matarazzo, Bijou Phillips. Directed by Eli Roth. 93 minutes. Rated R.

Plot-wise this is virtually the same movie as the first one, with American girls being tortured in Eastern Europe swapped in for American boys, and it’ll never be mistaken for anything more than a cheap, trashy exploitation movie. But it’s actually pretty good at being that, and the slight changes in structure make it a bit more successful than the first movie. Roth has wisely pretty much ditched the political commentary, which was muddled and unsuccessful the first time out, and allowed his main characters to be mostly sympathetic without embodying any ugly-American stereotypes. This formula wouldn’t work again, but the second time around finds enough variation to be satisfying for those who don’t expect too much. –JB

Jindabyne **

Gabriel Byrne, Laura Linney, Chris Haywood. Directed by Ray Lawrence. 123 minutes. Rated R.

Four men on a fishing trip find a murdered woman’s body but decide to finish their baiting and bonding before reporting the cadaver. Might’ve worked. Didn’t. Instead, it’s like something Sam Shepard might’ve come up with if he was on deadline and had a bad migraine, with a little dash of Deliverance thrown in. (And if that comparison strikes you as odd, you’re actually getting the point here.) Forward momentum is lacking and never compensated for with things like well-crafted character development—although Byrne is outstanding in the movie’s only meaty role. –AZ

Knocked Up ***

Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann. Directed by Judd Apatow. 129 minutes. Rated R.

The wholesome values in Knocked Up are effectively intermixed with the movie’s real selling point, its outrageous humor, but it’s clear which side wins out. That makes the film either an act of subversive genius—getting stoners and slackers to appreciate the importance of parenthood—or a strangely conservative scolding in the guise of a dumb comedy. As tempting as it is to give Apatow credit for subversion, it might be safer to say that he’s really just telling his audience to grow up and accept some responsibility. That’s exactly what happens to Ben Stone (Rogen), a prototypical representative of the Apatow demographic, when his one-night stand with driven E! news producer Alison Scott (Heigl) results in an unplanned pregnancy. –JB

Mr. Brooks ***1/2

Kevin Costner, William Hurt, Demi Moore, Dane Cook. Directed by Bruce A. Evans. 120 minutes. Rated R.

Mr. Brooks (Costner) has a slight addiction to bloodshed. He’s been going to AA meetings to help suppress these urges, but that little devil on his shoulder keeps egging him on. Temptation is beautifully personified by Marshall (Hurt), who’s not so much Brooks’ alter-ego as he is a bad-influence type of imaginary friend. Marshall periodically pops up to offer Brooks fathering advice, remind him of little details he might forget and, of course, persuade him to massacre copulating couples for kicks. In spite of the convoluted finale, Mr. Brooks still ends up being good, twisted fun. –MSH

Nancy Drew ***

Emma Roberts, Tate Donovan, Max Thieriot, Laura Elena Harring. Directed by Andrew Fleming. 99 minutes. Rated PG.

Crafty teen detective Nancy (Roberts) enters the picture fully formed (no prologue necessary). She solves a crime, negotiates with the robbers and scales down the side of a building before leaving her hometown of River Heights for Los Angeles, where her lawyer father (Donovan) has picked up some temporary work. He makes her promise not to sleuth in the big city, but Nancy has already found a mystery in their rented house. Decades earlier, a movie star (Harring) disappeared, then turned up murdered. Nancy tries to figure out whodunit and why. Fleming creates a clever, snappy, self-aware picture in which Nancy thrives. –JMA

Ocean’s Thirteen ***

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Al Pacino. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. 113 minutes. Rated PG-13.

As in the first film, our heroes have targeted a fabulous Las Vegas casino—this one owned not by Andy Garcia’s Terry Benedict, who’s partially bankrolling the operation, but by a preening, back-stabbing mogul named Willie Bank (Pacino). Their objective isn’t quite what you’d expect, though. Ocean & Co. don’t want Bank’s vast fortune for themselves—they’d just prefer that Bank, who’s both humiliated and hospitalized their jovial mentor, Reuben (Elliott Gould), possess a whole lot less of it. For the most part, Ocean’s Thirteen reverts to the breezy, weightless antics—charismatic men plotting byzantine schemes in exotic locales—that made Eleven such forgettable fun. –MD

Once ***1/2

Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova, Geoff Minogue. Directed by John Carney. 85 minutes. Rated R.

Once is a musical expressly designed for people who think they hate musicals—a movie that takes full advantage of the genre’s expressionistic power, conveying heightened emotions entirely via libretto, while at the same time remaining firmly grounded in gritty, mundane reality. Carney’s means of achieving this apparent contradiction is refreshingly simple: Both of his lead characters are aspiring musicians, and their week-long relationship is ostensibly a musical collaboration, as they jointly compose, arrange and record a demo. Nobody ever really bursts into song in Once—it’s more as if they stumble into song, tentative and uncertain, finding their confidence and their passion as they go along. This approach lacks the razzle-dazzle of the classic musical, but it has an endearingly awkward charm of its own. –MD

Paano Kita Iibigin (Not reviewed)

Regine Velasquez, Piolo Pascual. Directed by Joyce E. Bernal. 115 minutes. Not rated.

Fired from her job and evicted from her apartment, Martee (Velasquez) brings herself and her son to Zambales for a vacation. In a dilapidated resort owned by Lance (Pascual), Martee finds work, and love.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End *

Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Geoffrey Rush. Directed by Gore Verbinski. 168 minutes. Rated PG-13.

At World’s End picks up, as these things tend to do, roughly where its slightly less inflated predecessor ended, with Elizabeth Swann (Knightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Rush) and the surviving swabbies of the Black Pearl to rescue Jack Sparrow (Depp) from the very euphemistically named Davy Jones’ locker. Even if you loved The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man’s Chest, this dour, tedious, aggressively unfunny, egregiously padded helping of celluloid fluff will only waste your time and money. –MH

Shrek the Third **

Voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas. Directed by Chris Miller. 92 minutes. Rated PG.

The loveable titular ogre (voiced by Myers), already saddled with talking-animal sidekicks Donkey (Murphy) and Puss In Boots (Banderas) and married to princess-turned-ogre Fiona (Diaz), acquires a horde of new friends and foes in this latest installment. Chief among them is the supremely uninteresting Artie, cousin to Fiona, and Shrek’s choice to succeed Fiona’s late father as the king of Far, Far Away, because the ogre himself would rather not rule. What started out as a genial stab at Disneyfied fairy tales has morphed into a catch-all parody with no focus and even less bite. It’s hard to buy into the movie making fun of anything when it’s become such an easy target for mockery itself. –JB

Spider-Man 3 ***

Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church. Directed by Sam Raimi. 140 minutes. Rated PG-13.

You want villains? Our boy Spidey must contend not just with the Sandman (Church), an ex-con brawler capable of departiculating his entire body at will; not just with Harry Osborn (Franco), who’s discovered his late father’s secret laboratory and refashioned himself as a junior version of the Green Goblin; but also with a malevolent hunk of symbiotic black goo from outer space, which first attaches itself to one of Spider-Man’s costumes and later transforms snotty rival Daily Bugle photographer Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) into a fanged mutant Spider-Clone known as Venom. You want romance? Mary Jane (Dunst) is still around, but she’s now simmering with jealousy at the vapid blond advances made by Peter’s science lab partner. The overall game plan involves tossing so much sheer stuff at us that we’ll be too dizzy and distracted to notice that no single element is actually working. –MD

Steel City **

Tom Guiry, John Heard, Clayne Crawford, America Ferrera. Directed by Brian Jun. 95 minutes. Rated R.

Guiry is reasonably solid as an aimless twentysomething whose father (Heard) ends up in jail for vehicular manslaughter, and even if most of the dialogue consists of characters delivering overwrought speeches to each other, at least Guiry and Heard have some genuine father-son moments. From its washed-out color scheme to its shaky, hand-held camera work to the mournful acoustic guitar on its soundtrack, nearly everything about Steel City is pure Indie Filmmaking 101. –JB

Surf’s Up **1/2

Voices of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel. Directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck. 85 minutes. Rated PG.

Cody Maverick (LaBeouf) doesn’t fit in with his penguin kin, preferring to surf over gathering fish and tending eggs. Cody travels to fictional Pen Gu Island for a big surf competition, where he falls for a lifeguard named Lani (Deschanel) and learns totally deep life lessons from his idol, an aging surf champion named Big Z (Bridges). It’s breezy and fitfully amusing stuff, and directors Brannon and Buck make at least a token effort to break out of the monolithic computer animation pack with the mockumentary gimmick, although livening up one tired genre by combining it with another is not necessarily a formula for success. –JB

Vacancy (Not reviewed)

Luke Wilson, Kate Beckinsale, Frank Whaley. Directed by Nimrod Antal. 80 minutes. Rated R.

A young married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and finds hidden video cameras in their room. They realize that unless they escape, they’ll be the next victims of a snuff film.

The Valet (Not reviewed)

Daniel Auteuil, Kristin Scott Thomas, Gad Elmaleh. Directed by Francis Veber. 85 minutes. Rated PG-13.

A porter and a supermodel have to pretend to be a couple in order to salvage a CEO’s marriage.

Waitress ***1/2

Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, Jeremy Sisto. Directed by Adrienne Shelly. 107 minutes. Rated PG-13.

Jenna (Russell) is an unhappily married—and very unhappily pregnant—waitress at a small-town diner who’s constantly dreaming up exotic pies and naming them after whatever crisis she’s currently undergoing. Abortion, it seems, is out of the question—the possibility is never so much as raised—but Jenna’s red-state family values don’t stop her from embarking upon a guilty, start-stop affair with her hunky but equally married new obstetrician (Fillion). This all goes more or less where you’d expect it to, but it’s hard to begrudge familiarity when it’s accompanied by such dizzy warmth and offbeat charm. –MD
