CONTINUING

21 (2 hrs., 3 min.; PG-13 for some violence, and sexual content including partial nudity) Based on, but not truly inspired by, the true story of the MIT Blackjack Team, "21" takes a thoroughly by-the-numbers approach to its card-counting characters and their Las Vegas entanglements. Flashy and fun, but with nothing of substance and nothing that surprises. [C+]

88 MINUTES (1 hr., 48 min.; R for disturbing violent content, brief nudity and language) A college professor who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist in on the clock after a killer he helped to put away informs him that he has only 88 minutes to live. Al Pacino plays the prof, whose beautiful mind may save his life, but can't save this silly, dull movie. [D-]

BABY MAMA (1 hr., 39 min.; PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, language and a drug reference) Tina Fey's smart, graceful performance is easily the best ingredient in the lazily familiar recipe for this comedy about every woman's urge to be a mother. The plot is more or less one cliche after another, but Fey and co-stars Amy Poehler and Greg Kinnear will draw you in anyway. [B-]

BE KIND REWIND (1 hr., 41 min.; PG-13 for some sexual references) A movie for people who love movies, this airy comedy imagines that two friends must remake every film in the inventory of a tapes-only movie rental store after, well, after one guy's electro-shock-induced magnetism wipes everything out. It's goofy and silly, but in a way that's bound to make you smile. [B]

THE BUCKET LIST (1 hr., 37 min.; PG-13 for language, including a sexual reference) Psst! The screenplay for this death-defying drama, in which geezers live it up while they're goin' down (from cancer), is actually a scientific experiment to determine the maximum amount of inane, imbecilic dialogue and plot cliches that can occupy a single point in space and time. [D-]

DECEPTION (1 hr., 48 min.; R for sexual content, language, brief violence and some drug use) Men and women play games with mind and body in this devious sexual thriller, a film that remembers to include a serving of steak, along with its sizzle. Hugh Jackman is especially good as a reptilian lawyer who preys on the loneliness of a nerdy accountant (Ewan McGregor). [B]

EMMA SMITH: MY STORY (1 hr., 38 min.; PG for mild thematic elements and brief violence) The wife of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith steps into the spotlight ... sort of. The makers of this lovely, reverential film, including many of the same people who made the LDS Church-produced "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration," don't reveal very much at all about their subject. [C+]

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM (1 hr., 42 min.; PG-13 for sequences of martial arts action and some violence) At last! We finally get to find out who would win in a fight between Jackie Chan and Jet Li! Sort of. The beloved martial arts movie stars do indeed kick, punch and chop it out, but they're still just following the script. The movie is fun, though, despite its silly 21st-century framing story. [B]

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL (1 hr., 55 min.; R for sexual content, language and some graphic nudity) Peter (Jason Segel) flees to a Hawaiian resort after being dumped by his TV star girlfriend, Sarah (Kristen Bell). Only -- what are the odds? -- Sarah and her new man are already staying there! There's some humor and sweetness here, beneath a heap of crude, vulgar and sexual drivel. [C+]

FOOL'S GOLD (1 hr., 52 min.; PG-13 for action violence, some sexual material, brief nudity and language) Matthew McConaughey struts around with his shirt off and flexes the durably scruffy charm that still gets him jobs, while Kate Hudson deploys a clipped, acerbic wit. They're both better than the rest of this confused, sloppy action comedy, about a search for sunken treasure. [C-]

HAROLD KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY (1 hr., 42 min.; R for strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language and drug use) They aren't as funny as they were the first time, but the dope lovin' duo with a nose for trouble still find plenty of laughs while alternating between recycling the best bits of their first adventure and poking fun at post-9/11 paranoia. [B-]

HORTON HEARS A WHO! (1 hr., 28 min.; G) Honorable Horton, the elephantine softie who is loyal to the tiny beings only his enormous ears can detect, is as endearing as ever in this feature-length adaptation of the famous fable by latter-day Aesop Dr. Seuss. While a bit long and sometimes silly, the film is delightfully animated and frequently very funny. A fine family entertainment. [A-]

JUMPER (1 hr., 28 min.; PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence, some language and brief sexuality) The tender story of a kid who can teleport and the freaky white-haired hardcase who'd like to kill him because of that. Tight action scenes and some cool location shooting crank up the film a few notches past the actual potential of its dumbed-down, sometimes sketchy story. [B-]

LEATHERHEADS (1 hr., 54 min.; PG-13 for brief strong language) Before there was an NFL, the players played because they loved the game! (And probably because it beat bagging groceries or pumping gas.) George Clooney is aces as a roaring 20s football player and owner, but Clooney as director plays it safe, taking this sporting romantic comedy straight up the middle. [B-]

NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS (2 hrs., 11 min.; PG for some violence and action) Despite feeling rote and repetitive even for a sequel, this fast-paced follow-up to "National Treasure" keeps things rolling and gets up to some fun shenanigans. The atmosphere is so low-key and lighthearted that it's jarring when the occasional gunshot or car chase shakes things up. [C+]

NIM'S ISLAND (1 hr., 35 min.; PG for mild adventure action and brief language) Jodie Foster plays an agoraphobic adventure novelist summoned to a mysterious island by her littlest fan (Abigail Breslin) after the poor thing's father goes missing. Adults will probably find this one a tough sit, but the lively story and characters will be fun for kids. [B-]

THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (1 hr., 55 min.; PG-13 for mature thematic elements, sexual content and some violent images) The quasi-historical retelling of the involvement of Mary Boleyn in the sexual intrigues of her more notorious sister, Anne, is entirely too straight-faced -- and straitlaced; where's the hotsie-totsie-ism? -- to entertain. Stuffy performances, stuffy writing, stuffy results. [C-]

PENELOPE (1 hr., 25 min.; PG for thematic elements, some innuendo and language) Follow your nose to this charming modern fairy tale about a lovely lass cursed with a porcine proboscis. Can otherwise perfectly adorable Penelope (Christina Ricci) find love in spite of her sizeable schnozz? Though it doesn't have great depth of feeling, this gentle comedy does tell a sweet story. [B]

PROM NIGHT (1 hr., 28 min.; PG-13 for violence and terror, some sexual material, underage drinking, and language) It's the most romantic night of the year for the McStudents at McMovie McHigh School. Only, there's a McMurderous McSlasher on the loose at the swanky hotel where their prom is being held! Blah. No smarts. No scares. No suspense. No reason to buy a ticket. [D]

THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES (1 hr., 33 min.; PG for mild violence) All is not well after a dysfunctional family moves to a musty old manse in the woods. It's a family house, and after one of the boys goes poking around in a secret attic, he find's a forebear's notes about the sinister surroundings. A smart, crisp family film that parents and kids older than 7 or 8 can enjoy together. [B+]

VANTAGE POINT (1 hr., 30 min.; PG-13 for sequences of intense violence and action, some disturbing images and brief strong language) The gimmicky structure of this tense, exciting presidential assassination thriller flashbacks show the story's key events from multiple viewpoints -- works quite well. Strong acting from a great cast (led by Dennis Quaid) shores up weak characters. [B+]

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN? (1 hr., 33 min.; PG-13 for some strong language) Though his message about getting along and respecting differences is admirable, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock brazenly cheats on the intrigues teased by his movie's title. He does get on the ground in the Middle East, but what he finds there isn't very revelatory, or interesting. [C]
