NEW FILMS FRIDAY

ALL THE KING'S MEN — **This sluggish remake of the 1950 best-picture Oscar winner wastes a first-rate cast and material. Running time: 128 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, racial epithets, brief gore, partial nudity)

CONFETTI — ** 1/2This "mockumentary" about a competition to stage a wedding in Britain comes off more like a reality TV show. Running time: 94 minutes, R (nudity, language, mild violence) —Bob Strauss, Los Angeles Daily News

FEAST — * 1/2The "Project Greenlight" production is an unsatisfying gumbo rehashing other, better horror movies. Running time: 88 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, vulgarity, brief sex, brief drugs)

FLYBOYS — ** 1/2It's too long, but the thrilling air-battle scenes in this World War I drama will make it worthwhile for aircraft buffs. Running time: 139 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, brief gore, vulgarity, racial epithets)

HALF NELSON — ***The performances save this self-important drama from itself. Running time: 106 minutes, R (drugs, profanity, sex, violence, racial epithets)

JACKASS: NUMBER TWO — *Johnny Knoxville and his pals return for more irresponsible stunts and gags in this even more painful "reality" sequel. Rrunning time: 83 minutes, R (violence, vulgarity, nudity, profanity, gore, racial epithets)

JET LI'S FEARLESS — *** 1/2The popular Hong Kong action star's final martial-arts epic sees him going out on a high note. Chinese with subtitles. Running time: 103 minutes, PG-13 (violence, brief gore, brief drugs, profanity)

PRINCESAS — ** This drama rehearses hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold tropes, and irrelevant subplots burden the leads. Running time: 109 minutes, not rated probable R (profanity, sex, vulgarity, violence) —Bob Strauss, Los Angeles Daily News
