NOW PLAYING
‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ 1/2
The adaptation of the fantastical novel about the 16th president of the United States discovering that vampires are planning to take over the country, and who makes it his mission to eliminate them. Too bad the people behind this movie didn’t make this insane conceit more fun because this isn’t even bad enough to be camp — striking visually, but badly written, badly acted and boring. (Roger Moore, McClatchy Newspapers) (R, 105 minutes)
‘The Avengers’ 1/2
It’s Marvel Comics’ biggest movie to date, as Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of superhumans to form a team to help save the Earth from the villainous Loki and his army. Director and co-writer Joss Whedon has pulled off the tricky feat of juggling a large ensemble cast and giving everyone a chance to shine, of balancing splashy set pieces with substantive ideology. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) (PG-13, 142 minutes)
‘Bernie’
Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughey turn in fine performances in Richard Linklater’s quirky tragicomic portrait of small-town Texas, where a local mortician kills a wealthy widow he befriends. (Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times) (PG-13, 104 minutes)
‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’
A group of British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel, Tom Wilkinson and Maggie Smith star in this old-fashioned seriocomic romp that has its moments — a subtle delivery or a poignant exchange — but more often feels heavy-handed, sappy and overlong. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) (PG-13, 124 minutes)
‘Born to Love You’
The Filipino romantic comedy stars Coco Martin and Angeline Quinto in a story about a poor girl who likes to join amateur singing contests with her two younger siblings, and later falls in love with a photographer. (NR, 105 minutes)
‘Brave’
In this arresting and affecting movie from Pixar, a Scottish princess defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, she must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse. Featuring a truly independent female lead character, the movie never oversells its supernatural elements, and instead creates a completely plausible world where the ordinary, the surreal and the mythological all happily coexist. (Christopher Kelly, McClatchy Newspapers) (PG, 100 minutes)
‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted’ 1/2
The zoo animals are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple. Their journey takes them through Europe where a traveling circus provides them with the perfect cover. This is one of the fanciest, most carefully assembled animated features ever put on the screen. The jokes come fast and the script adds a creative, off-kilter vibe that sets the movie off from its peers. This one is almost too good to leave to the children. (Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star-Tribune) (PG, 95 minutes)
‘The Manzanar Fishing Club’ 1/2
A superb feature that ingeniously and warmly looks at a surprising chapter in the story of an internment camp in eastern California, as a group of Japanese-Americans do their best to fish for trout in the surrounding waters of the Eastern Sierra. (Tom Keogh, Seattle Times) (NR, 74 minutes)
‘Men in Black 3′ 1/2
Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin star in the latest sequel of the popular sci-fi action series. This time, Agent J travels in time to MIB’s early years in the 1960s to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history. Fifteen years since the zippy original and a decade since the sub-par sequel, we have a movie no one was clamoring for, one that has not aged well and is filled with old shtick. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) (PG-13, 106 minutes)
‘Prometheus’ 1/2
In Ridley Scott’s anticipated prequel to “Alien,” a team of explorers discovers a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. It’s a visually exquisite but unforgivably stupid movie. For all its gloss and craftsmanship, this is a rote “final girl” flick with tentacles. A billion-dollar franchise has been saddled with a dollar-store script. (Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune) (R, 124 minutes)
‘Rock of Ages’
A story based on a hit Broadway musical has a small-town girl and a city boy meet on the Sunset Strip during the 1980s while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. The all-star cast is game, but the filmmakers can’t stop winking and mocking the mockable music and the era long enough to let the picture, built around over-the-top tunes by Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Journey and others, pay off. (Roger Moore, McClatchy Newspapers) (PG-13, 123 minutes)
‘Safety Not Guaranteed’
Three cynical Seattle magazine employees follow up on the story of a mysterious eccentric who believes he has solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again. This confident, quick-witted romantic comedy is a giddy joy from start to finish. (Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune) (R, 86 minutes)
‘Seeking a Friend for the End of the World’ 1/2
Steve Carell and Keira Knightley star in an apocalyptic story about a man and his flighty neighbor who go in search of his high school sweetheart as an asteroid nears Earth. The pairing of Carell’s and Knightley’s characters doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but for the most part they have enough unexpected, opposites-attract likability and find themselves in enough strangely amusing situations to make the movie work. The mawkish third act, however, nearly destroys all that appeal. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) (R, 101 minutes)
‘Snow White & the Huntsman’
In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen. The movie is an intriguing mash-up of old and new, but what makes it a drag is a barely sensical screenplay that doesn’t so much tell a story as string together noisy action sequences with geektastic back story. (Christopher Kelly, McClatchy Newspapers) (PG-13, 127 minutes)
‘That’s My Boy’
Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg star in this no-holds-barred raunchfest about a single father’s lackluster parenting skills coming back to haunt him when he tries to bond with his now-grown estranged son. Sandler has made worse movies, but never one as grotesque as this groaner. (Roger Moore, McClatchy Newspapers) (R, 114 minutes)
