Movie Reviews

“Bad News Bears” HH Billy Bob Thornton breezes through some wickedly well-timed one-liners in this remake of the profane 1976 hit. He’s the coach of a sad-sack youth baseball team, a situation that summons up laughs even if the film never feels really necessary. (PG-13, for language.)

“Batman Begins” HHHH A terrific slice of Hollywood fantasy, sprung from the comic book protector of Gotham City. This dark version tells of Batman’s origins, with an ingenious storyline and a sterling cast, led by Christian Bale as millionaire Bruce Wayne. (PG-13, for violence, subject matter.)

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” HHH Remake of the Roald Dahl story about a little boy who wins a tour through the candy factory owned by eccentric Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp). The material is still very weird (including Depp’s performance) but director Tim Burton’s imagination is a full flower. (PG, for subject matter.)

“Crash” HHH The lives of a group of people intersect in Los Angeles, with race a special hot button issue. Director Paul Haggis goes overboard on the operatic style, but some scenes have real emotional power. With Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, Terrence Howard, Don Cheadle. (R, for language, violence, nudity.)

“The Devil’s Rejects” H Rob Zombie directs this homage to violent 1970s exploitation movies, and achieves a fair approximation of the form. Having said that, the movie is utterly vile, which seems to be exactly what the director wants. (R, for violence, nudity, language.)

“Fantastic Four” HH The tone is mostly light and juvenile in this adaptation of the Marvel comic about Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and The Thing. The first half is fun, but it’s hard to care about characters when nothing much seems at stake. (PG-13, for violence.)

“George A Romero’s Land of the Dead” HHH The fourth film on zombies from director George Romero, whose “Night of the Living Dead” kicked off the genre. It’s the usual serving of gore with social commentary, and quite effective. (R, for violence, nudity, language, subject matter.)

“The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” HHH A bright, sarcastic romp through the cult novel by Douglas Adams, about an average Englishman (Martin Freeman) whisked away on a space trip after the Earth is destroyed. A fresh cast and a Monty Python spirit make this a welcome change of pace. (PG rating is for subject matter.) (PG, for subject matter.)

“Howl’s Moving Castle” HHH An eye-filling animated spectacle from “Spirited Away” director Hayao Miyazaki, about a wizard and his magical ambulatory castle. The visual dazzle makes up for the storytelling vagueness. (In Japanese, with English subtitles, or in English.) (PG, for subject matter.)

“Hustle &Flow” HHHH A Memphis pimp-hustler (brilliant performance by Terrence Howard) is seized by an impossible idea of turning himself into a rapper. The rich location shooting and muscular music make this a crackling film. (R, for language, violence, nudity.)

“The Island” HH Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson are denizens of an enclosed world (the Earth has been contaminated) who begin to wonder what life is like outside. Michael Bay directs, with impressive technical virtuosity, this lame idea. (PG-13, for violence, subject matter.)

“Ladies in Lavender” HH A man washes up on the shore of Cornwall in the 1930s, interrupting the quiet lives of two sisters living there. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are always watchable, but this tea-sipping movie doesn’t push them or the story hard enough. (PG-13, for subject matter.)

“Mad Hot Ballroom” HHH Delightful documentary about fifth-graders in New York City preparing for a citywide ballroom dancing competition. Utterly winning, in the “Spellbound” tradition. (PG, for language.)

“Madagascar” HHHH A zippy and funny DreamWorks cartoon about four escaped zoo animals who must fend for themselves in the wild. It has good jokes, good slapstick, and one uproarious lemur king. (PG, for subject matter.)

“March of the Penguins” HHH Dazzling photography in Antarctica charts the breeding cycle of the Emperor penguin, a hilarious dogged creature. Except for some syrupy narration, the movie presents a really compelling world. (G)

“Me and You and Everyone We Know” HHHH Writer-director-star Miranda July fashions a sweetly sad look at a group of misfits, in a movie that’s whimsical and very funny but fundamentally about serious things. (R, for subject matter, language.)

“Mr. &Mrs. Smith” HH Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie use their movie-star appeal to carry this action movie for a while, but only for a while. They’re two assassins stuck in a boring marriage together, a scenario that ends in the usual explosions. (PG-13, for violence, subject matter.)

“Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” HHHH Final production in the “Star Wars” saga, which begins in the fluffy mode of Parts I and II but becomes a cooler, darker movie when Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) turns toward the dark side of the Force. George Lucas rolls out the impressive hardware and the political metaphors with equal authority, leaving you to wonder why the previous installments of the trilogy couldn’t have been this good. (PG-13, for violence.)

“War of the Worlds” HHH Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise re-make the H.G. Wells novel about alien attack, and although the pedal is to the metal rather effectively, you wonder what the point is. Some of the images are grand, but the connections to the Sept. 11 world are vulgar to the point of distraction. (PG-13, for violence, language, subject matter.)

“Wedding Crashers” HH Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn crash wedding receptions to meet and seduce women, a strategy that works until they fall for a couple of daughters of the Treasury Secretary (Christopher Walken). The movie’s a mess, although Wilson and the hyperventilating Vaughn have some funny scenes. (R, for nudity, language, subject matter.)

“The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill” HHH A feel-good documentary about Mark Bittner, a formerly homeless man who tends a flock of wild parrots (probably released pets) in San Francisco. It’s a little hippy-dippy, but it creates a nice little urban haven. (G rating.) (probably released pets)

“Yes” H In London, an American woman (Joan Allen) carries on an affair with a Lebanese man (Simon Akbarian) completely in rhyming couplets. This would be insufferable enough without director Sally Potter’s pretentious overlay of geo-political meaning to the thing. (R, for language, subject matter.)
