ENCHANTED — ***— Amy Adams enchants as a fairy-tale princess trapped in the real world in this cheeky romantic comedy/fantasy. Running time: 95 minutes, PG (violence, mild vulgarity, mild profanity, nude art)

THE EYE — * 1/2— The real stiff in this horror remake is Jessica Alba, who gives a flat performance. Running time: 97 minutes, PG-13 (violence) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

FOOL'S GOLD — * 1/2— A charmless romantic comedy-adventure that's dumber even than the recent "National Treasure" sequel. Running time: 110 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief sex, brief partial nudity)

THE GOLDEN COMPASS — ** — A muddled, confusing fantasy. Running time: 113 minutes, PG-13 (violence) —Eleanor O'Sullivan, Asbury Park (N.J.) Press

I AM LEGEND — *** — More of an improved "Omega Man" remake than a faithful adaptation of Richard Matheson's story. Will Smith stars. Running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (violence, gore, drugs, profanity)

IN BRUGES — ***— Those who can withstand this darkly comic thriller's verbal assault on their sensibilities will be rewarded. Running time: 101 minutes, R (profanity, violence, gore, drugs, vulgarity, slurs, brief sex, nude art)

INTO THE WILD — ****— Sean Penn's adaptation of the best-selling book is touching, thoughtful, sad, funny, sweet and ultimately redemptive — all at once. Running time: 149 minutes, R (violence, profanity, nudity, gore, brief sex, vulgarity, brief drugs)

JUMPER — **— A science-fiction adventure film doesn't do anything with its cool premise. It also has a wooden lead, Hayden Christensen. Running time: 88 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief sex)

JUNO — ****— A teen-pregnancy comedy filled with witty dialogue and genuine emotion — and occasional crudeness. Running time: 97 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, brief sex, brief drugs, brief gore, slurs)

THE KITE RUNNER — ** — A cinematic CliffsNotes version of Khaled Hosseini's best-selling book. With subtitles, running time: 122 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, rape, slurs, vulgarity, brief gore)

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL — *** — This quirky comedy-drama treats some potentially offensive material with surprising taste and restraint. Ryan Gosling stars. Running time: 106 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, mild profanity, brief drugs, slurs)
