Playing at local movie theaters

BROKEN ENGLISH — ** 1/2 — Parker Posey's performance is the best part of this predictable and overly familiar comedy-drama. Complete review on Page W5, running time: 97 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, brief sex, brief drugs, brief partial nudity)

EAGLE VS SHARK — ** 1/2 — A New Zealand export that tries a little too hard to duplicate the look and feel of the 2004 hit "Napoleon Dynamite." Complete review on Page W7, running time: 87 minutes, R (profanity, violence, sex, vulgarity, brief nudity)

HAIRSPRAY — *** — John Travolta's rather unfunny and sometimes tone-deaf turn is the one sore-thumb element in this energetic and enjoyable musical-comedy. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 107 minutes, PG (vulgarity, profanity, racial epithets, violence)

I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK & LARRY — * 1/2 — The usual sexist, racist, vulgar and just plain unfunny humor we've come to expect from an Adam Sandler movie. Complete review on Page W3, running time: 115 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, violence, profanity, nudity, slurs, brief sex, brief drugs)

INTRODUCING THE DWIGHTS — ** 1/2 — A little of this shrill drama goes a long way, and we get to witness a lot of it. Brenda Blethyn stars. Complete review on Page W6, running time: 104 minutes, R (sex, nudity, profanity) — Christy Lemire, Associated Press

RE-RELEASES

KILLER OF SHEEP — *** 1/2 — Filmmaker Charles Burnett's 1977 tale about a South Central Los Angeles neighborhood holds up remarkably well. Black and white. Complete review on Page W7, running time: 80 minutes, not rated, probable PG-13 (violence, profanity, slurs, vulgarity)

MIDNIGHT MOVIE

STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN — **** — Still the best of the big-screen "Trek" movies, this 1982 science-fiction thriller is surprisingly tense. Running time: 113 minutes, PG (violence, gore, profanity) (Tonight and Saturday: Tower)
