Movie reviews

“Coffee and Cigarettes” HH A collection of black-and-white shorts by director Jim Jarmusch, some of them stretching back to 1986. An all-star cast performs in very uneven vignettes grouped around coffee and cigarettes: Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Tom Waits, the White Stripes. (R, for language.)

“Envy” H A mild idea given a modest treatment: Ben Stiller is distraught when his neighbor (Jack Black) achieves enormous success with an idiotic invention. The performers (including Christopher Walken) are given lots of leash by director Barry Levinson. (PG-13, for language, subject matter.)

“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” HHH From “Adaptation” writer Charlie Kaufman comes this tale of a man (Jim Carrey, in a lovely performance) trying to medically erase the memory of a love affair. The comedy doesn’t quite work, but the film is inventively visualized and creates a sustained melancholy mood. (R, for language, subject matter.)

“I’m Not Scared” HHH In the Italian countryside in the late seventies, a 10-year-old boy comes across a kidnapped child trapped in a pit. This dark fable works up suspense and spookiness in convincing fashion. (In Italian, with English subtitles.) (R, for violence, subject matter.)

“Man on Fire” HH Denzel Washington gives a professional performance as a burned-out CIA assassin hired to protect a little girl (Dakota Fanning) in Mexico City. Director Tony Scott bungles the premise by indulging in distracting TV commercial style. With Christopher Walken, Radha Mitchell. (R, for violence, language.)

“Mean Girls” HHH Funny high-school comedy about the cruelties of teenage girls, with Lindsay Lohan as the innocent caught up in the super-clique at her school. Tina Fey’s script backs off to deliver some lectures on decency, but it’s got a good ear for lingo and absurdities. (PG-13, for subject matter.)

“Shaolin Soccer” HHH A high-spirited slapstick comedy about a kung fu-influenced soccer team. Star-director Stephen Chow keeps the sight gags coming, even if the movie becomes a standard sports feature in its second half. (In Cantonese, with English subtitles.) (PG-13, for violence.)

“Super Size Me” HHH Morgan Spurlock decided to eat three meals a day at McDonald’s for a month and document the results. He takes some getting used to, but this movie, which also looks at the pervasiveness of fast food in general, is an entertaining and alarming picture. (Not rated; probably PG-13, for nudity, language.)

“Touching the Void” HHHH A riveting docu-drama about a real-life mountain climb in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. Joe Simpson and Simon Yates narrate their hair-raising escape from the mountain, which involved a broken leg, a howling storm, and incredible survival instincts. (Not rated, probably PG-13, for language.)

“The Triplets of Belleville” HHH Wildly and darkly imaginative animated film by a French director, Sylvain Chomet. The dizzying plot has to do with a cyclist in the Tour de France who is kidnapped and taken away to a giant metropolis. (PG-13, for subject matter.)

“Troy” HHH It bungles its love story and bogs down in some tedious dialogue, but at least this epic of the Trojan war delivers on the spectacle, and its character-driven approach to the blockbuster movie is welcome. Brad Pitt is the Greek warrior Achilles as a surfer dude, Eric Bana comes off better as Hektor. (R, for violence.)

“Van Helsing” H The vampire-hunter (Hugh Jackman) from the old Universal monster movies is called up to fight Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, and assorted werewolves. A loud, nonstop carnival of digital effects, many of which are dazzling, if only you had a chance to enjoy them. (PG-13, for violence, subject matter.)

“Kill Bill Vol. 2” HHH The conclusion of Quentin Tarantino’s homage to B-movies (masquerading as a revenge opus), in which the Bride (Uma Thurman) knocks off her tormentors, especially mastermind Bill (David Carradine). A languid movie with more conversation than ultraviolence, this mad enterprise could only have been made by one person. (R, for violence, language.)

“Shrek 2” HHH A sequel to the monster hit, flabbier than the original but chock-full of pop references and Hollywood in-jokes. This time the Shreks (voices of Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz) travel to meet the in-laws, a situation that affords less fairy-tale satire than the first movie. Best new character: Antonio Banderas as Puss-in-Boots (PG, for subject matter.)

“13 Going on 30” HH An unremarkable comedy, but a fun coming-out party for a new Hollywood star, Jennifer Garner, who plays a 13-year-old girl transported to a 30-year-old’s life. Garner plays it with abandon, even if the plot keeps intruding. With Mark Ruffalo. (PG-13, for subject matter.)
