RENO 911!: MIAMI — ** — This movie spin-off is even cruder and dumber than the popular Comedy Central television program. Running time: 84 minutes, R (vulgarity, violence, profanity, sex, nudity, drugs, brief gore, racial epithets)

SHOOTER — ** — This claustrophobic tale of conspiracies collapses into a seemingly eternal series of explosions and false endings. Running time: 125 minutes, R (violence, profanity) —Christy Lemire, Associated Press

SLOW BURN — * — A carbon copy of "The Usual Suspects." Reviewed Tuesday, running time: 93 minutes, R (sex, violence, profanity) —Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

TMNT — ** — Those film phenoms of 1990, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, are B-O-R-I-N-G. Running time: 80 minutes, PG (violence, profanity) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

TYLER PERRY'S DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS — ** — Playwright Perry almost gets out of his own way with this urban "Cinderella." Running time: 95 minutes, PG-13 (drugs, sex, vulgarity, violence, profanity) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

THE ULTIMATE GIFT — ** — James Garner is the most interesting part of this almost painfully earnest drama. Running time: 117 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, mild profanity)

WILD HOGS — * 1/2 — Every bit as terrible as you'd expect a film to be with John Travolta, Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence. Running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, violence, profanity, brief nudity, brief drugs)

THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY — *** 1/2 — This British thriller makes war look ugly. Running time: 127 minutes, R (violence, profanity, torture, vulgarity, brief sex, gore)

THE WORK AND THE GLORY III: A HOUSE DIVIDED — ** — This third film about early LDS Church history seems curiously anticlimactic. Running time: 96 minutes, PG (violence)

ZODIAC — ** 1/2 — Real-life story of a serial killer in the San Francisco area during the '60s and '70s boasts a strong cast but is too long. Running time: 160 minutes, R (violence, profanity, drugs, sex) —Christy Lemire, Associated Press
