NEW FILMS FRIDAY

12:08 EAST OF BUCHAREST — **— Self-indulgent comedy-drama takes its time getting to the point. Romanian with subtitles, complete review on Page W7, running time: 89 minutes, not rated, probable PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, slurs)

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE — **— The Beatles song covers are the highlight of this muddled, musical fantasy/romance. Complete review on Page W3, running time: 134 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, drugs, nudity, brief sex, slurs, brief gore)

DANS PARIS (INSIDE PARIS) — **— Overwhelmingly dark and downbeat, this French drama is nearly unwatchable. French with subtitles, complete review on Page W6, running time: 93 minutes, not rated, probable R (profanity, nudity, brief drugs, sex, vulgarity)

FEAST OF LOVE — **— Some rather racy and explicit sex scenes drag down this well-acted romantic comedy-drama. Complete review on Page W6, running time: 102 minutes, R (nudity, sex, profanity, violence, brief drugs, vulgarity)

THE GAME PLAN — **— This attempt to make Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson cute and cuddly is not horrible, but it is overly familiar. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 110 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, brief drugs)

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON — *** 1/2— This documentary about the NASA missions features some never-before-shown footage. Complete review on Page W5, running time: 100 minutes, PG (violence, mild profanity, vulgarity)

THE KINGDOM — **— Jamie Foxx stars in this heavy-handed, nearly two-hour counterpoint to the nightly news. With subtitles, complete review on Page W5, running time: 110 minutes, R (violence, profanity, gore, torture, vulgarity, slurs)

LADRON QUE ROBA A LADRON — ***— A Spanish-language caper comedy that is Hollywood slick, well-acted and funny. Spanish with subtitles, complete review on Page W7, running time: 90 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, sex) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

MIDNIGHT MOVIE

ROCK 'N ROLL HIGH SCHOOL — ***— This fun 1979 musical comedy about rockers taking over their high school has become a cult classic. Running time: 93 minutes, R (violence, sex, profanity, vulgarity) (Tonight and Saturday: Tower)
