NEW FILMS FRIDAY

BELIEVE — * 1/2 — A locally produced "mockumentary" that's too heavy on the mocking and too light on the laughs. Complete review on Page W5, running time: 78 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, mild profanity)

FRACTURE — *** — It's Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins' exchanges that make this predictable legal thriller rewarding. Complete review on Page W3, running time: 113 minutes, R (violence, profanity, gore, brief sex, vulgarity)

HOT FUZZ — *** — This violent buddy-cop movie spoof from the "Shaun of the Dead" creators has several enjoyable aspects. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 121 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, vulgarity, brief drugs, brief nudity)

IN THE LAND OF WOMEN — ** 1/2 — An obvious attempt to copy the hipster-cool vibe of "Garden State." Adam Brody stars. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 98 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, drugs, violence, brief sex)

THE PAGE TURNER — ** 1/2 — This mostly diverting French import has a curiously unsatisfying ending. French with subtitles. Complete review on Page W6, running time: 81 minutes, not rated, probable PG-13 (violence, brief sex, brief gore, brief drugs)

THE TRIPPER — ** 1/2 — Sort of fun — for people with a taste for gory slasher flicks. Complete review on Page W8, running time: 98 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, drugs, nudity, sex, vulgarity)

VACANCY — * — This insufferable, poor-taste thriller is as empty as its title suggests. Luke Wilson and Kate Becksinsale star. Complete review on Page W8, running time: 80 minutes, R (violence, profanity, gore, brief drugs, vulgarity, brief nudity)

RE-RELEASE

BECKET — **** — Both Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton are at their best in this historical drama, and the material is surprisingly topical and resonant. Complete review on Page W1, running time: 148 minutes, made before ratings (1964), probable PG (violence, brief gore, mild profanity, vulgarity)
