NEW FILMS FRIDAY

13 TZAMETI — ** 1/2This French-made mix of "The Most Dangerous Game," "Fight Club" and "Saw" has its share of tense moments. French with subtitles. Running time: 90 minutes. Not rated, probable R (violence, profanity, gore, drugs, vulgarity).

THE COVENANT — Thriller based on the comic book miniseries about a sorcerous pact. Not screened for critics; to be reviewed next week. Running time: 97 minutes. PG-13 (violence, sex, partial nudity, profanity).

FACTOTUM — ***This askew look at a life of drift and impermanence has a subdued, modest grace. Matt Dillon stars. Running time: 94 minutes. R (profanity, sex). —Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

HOLLYWOODLAND — ***Ben Affleck's performance as George Reeves is one of the highlights of this slowly engrossing but lengthy mystery/thriller. Running time: 126 minutes. R (profanity, violence, vulgarity, sex, gore, brief partial nudity, brief drugs, racial epithets).

THE PROTECTOR — **Thai action star Tony Jaa has plenty of astonishing fighting moves, but he lacks presence and the plot for this revenge-thriller is ridiculous. Running time: 92 minutes. R (violence, profanity, gore, vulgarity, brief nudity, brief sex, brief drugs, racial epithets).

MIDNIGHT MOVIE

THIS IS SPINAL TAP — *** 1/2 — Rob Reiner's hysterical 1984 mockumentary about a past-its-prime heavy-metal act. Running time: 82 minutes. R (vulgarity, profanity). (Tonight and Saturday, Tower)
