DEFINITELY, MAYBE — *** — This "mystery love story" does have considerable appeal — including Ryan Reynolds' performance. Running time: 111 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, brief drugs, slurs, brief sex)

DOOMSDAY — * — A dopey sci-fi thriller that copies "28 Days Later" and every other "virus wipes us out" movie of recent vintage. Running time: 105 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, sex, nudity) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

DR. SEUSS' HORTON HEARS A WHO! — *** — This mostly charming comic fantasy is rendered in state-of-the-art digital animation and includes more of the actual Seuss material. Running time: 88 minutes, G (comic violence, mild vulgarity, brief drugs, slurs)

DRILLBIT TAYLOR — *** — There may be some questionable humor, but this Owen Wilson vehicle recalls the cultily adored 1980 hit "My Bodyguard." Running time: 102 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, brief partial nudity, drugs, brief sex, slurs)

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, utterly un-affecting 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)

FUNNY GAMES — ** — All this unpleasant thriller remake shows is that a film can be somewhat restrained and subtle and still be in bad taste. Naomi Watts stars. Running time: 112 minutes, R (violence, profanity, torture, gore, vulgarity, brief drugs, slurs)

THE GOLDEN COMPASS — * — A muddled, confusing fantasy that adds up to little more than the "Yawn-icles of Narnia." Running time: 113 minutes, PG-13 (violence) —Eleanor O'Sullivan, Asbury Park (N.J.) Press
