DR. SEUSS' HORTON HEARS A WHO! *** This mostly charming comic fantasy is rendered in state-of-the-art digital animation and includes more of Seuss' material. Complete review on Page W3, running time: 88 minutes, G (comic violence, mild vulgarity, brief drugs, slurs)
FUNNY GAMES ** All this unpleasant thriller remake shows is that a film can be restrained and subtle and still be in bad taste. Naomi Watts stars. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 112 minutes, R (violence, profanity, torture, gore, vulgarity, brief drugs, slurs)
HONEYDRIPPER *** Audiences who are patient with screenwriter/director John Sayles' Deep South music parable will be rewarded. Complete review on Page W5, running time: 124 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, slurs, vulgarity)
NEVER BACK DOWN ** The mixed-martial arts fighting drama is watchable if you can stand the sight of people pummeling each other. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 110 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, slurs, brief gore, vulgarity, brief sex)
