NEW FILMS FRIDAY

DOOMSDAY — English filmmaker Neil Marshall ("The Descent") returns with this post-apocalyptic thriller. To be reviewed next week, running time: 109 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, sex, nudity)

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)

GEORGE A. ROMERO'S DIARY OF THE DEAD — ** 1/2— By mocking himself and "The Blair Witch Project," the veteran horror director gets more life out of his long-running zombie movie concept. Complete review on Page W4, running time: 95 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, vulgarity, brief drugs, nude art)

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)

MIDNIGHT MOVIE

FRANK MILLER'S SIN CITY — *** 1/2— The violent and sexual content means it's not for everyone, but this multistoried 2005 thriller is visually stunning. Black and white, running time: 126 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, torture, nudity, drugs, vulgarity, sex) (Tonight and Saturday: Tower)
