NEW FILMS FRIDAY

THE GOOD SHEPHERD — ** — Robert De Niro's aloof, fictionalized thriller about CIA history is more chilly than chilling. Matt Damon stars. Running time: 167 minutes, R (violence, profanity, sex, nudity, torture, drugs, vulgarity, brief gore, racial epithets)

THE HISTORY BOYS — ** 1/2 — The strong gay themes in this adaptation of the stage play suggest a version of "The Dead Poet's Society" written by Oscar Wilde. Running time: 108 minutes, R (profanity, vulgarity, brief sex, nudity, violence, brief drugs)

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM — *** — Not unlike "Jumanji," this comic fantasy is a bit of a mess, yet surprisingly appealing. Ben Stiller stars. Running time: 108 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, profanity)

WE ARE MARSHALL — ** 1/2 — It may overstay its welcome, but this fact-based sports drama is modestly appealing. Matthew McConaughey stars. Running time: 127 minutes, PG (violence, mild profanity, vulgarity)

WONDROUS OBLIVION — ** 1/2 — You've seen this British coming-of-age drama many times before, but it won't kill you to pretend you haven't. Running time: 106 minutes, PG (violence, profanity, racial epithets) —Ty Burr, The Boston Globe
