Playing at local movie theaters
THE EYE * 1/2 The real stiff in this horror remake is Jessica Alba, who gives a flat performance. Running time: 97 minutes, PG-13 (violence) Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel
FOOL'S GOLD * 1/2 A charmless romantic comedy-adventure that's dumber even than the recent "National Treasure" sequel. Running time: 110 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief sex, brief partial nudity)
THE GOLDEN COMPASS ** A muddled, confusing fantasy. Running time: 113 minutes, PG-13 (violence) Eleanor O'Sullivan, Asbury Park (N.J.) Press
I AM LEGEND *** More of an improved "Omega Man" remake than a faithful adaptation of Richard Matheson's story. Will Smith stars. Running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (violence, gore, drugs, profanity)
INTO THE WILD **** Sean Penn's adaptation of the best-selling book is touching, thoughtful, sad, funny, sweet and ultimately redemptive all at once. Running time: 149 minutes, R (violence, profanity, nudity, gore, brief sex, vulgarity, brief drugs)
JUMPER ** A science-fiction adventure film doesn't do anything with its cool premise. It also has a wooden lead, Hayden Christensen. Running time: 88 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief sex)
JUNO **** A teen-pregnancy comedy filled with witty dialogue and genuine emotion and occasional crudeness. Running time: 97 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, brief sex, brief drugs, brief gore, slurs)
THE KITE RUNNER ** A cinematic CliffsNotes version of Khaled Hosseini's best-selling book. With subtitles, running time: 122 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, rape, slurs, vulgarity, brief gore)
LARS AND THE REAL GIRL *** This quirky comedy-drama treats some potentially offensive material with surprising taste and restraint. Ryan Gosling stars. Running time: 106 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, mild profanity, brief drugs, slurs)
