OVER HER DEAD BODY — * 1/2 — A charmless, mediocre romantic comedy with supernatural overtones. Eva Longoria Parker stars. Running time: 96 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, violence, brief sex, brief nudity, brief drugs)

PENELOPE — ** 1/2 — This modern-day fairy tale is generally charming but is seriously thin on laugh-out-loud moments. Christina Ricci stars. Running time: 85 minutes, PG (vulgarity, profanity) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

SEMI-PRO — ** — Will Ferrell's latest is a '70s-period sports comedy that's only funny about half of the time. Running time: 91 minutes, R (profanity, violence, vulgarity, sex, drugs, slurs, brief gore)

SHUTTER —** — This uncredited remake of a 2004 Thai horror film has its moments. But even at 86 minutes, it's a drag. Reviewed Saturday, running time: 86 minutes, PG-13 (violence, sex, profanity) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

SLEEPWALKING — * 1/2 — A movie so unoriginal it might as well have been titled "Generic Bleak Film Festival Drama No. 500." Charlize Theron stars. Running time: 100 minutes, R (profanity, drugs, violence, vulgarity, brief sex, slurs, brief gore)

THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES — *** — It's too creepy for little ones, but this is also the best fantasy movie to come along in a while. Running time: 97 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, mild profanity, slurs)

THERE WILL BE BLOOD — *** — P.T. Anderson's oil drama is pretty riveting stuff — despite the rushed and ridiculous finale. Best Actor Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis stars. Running time: 158 minutes, R (violence, profanity, vulgarity, gore)

TYLER PERRY'S MEET THE BROWNS — ** — A Madea-sized, big fat step backward for filmmaker Tyler Perry. Angela Bassett stars. Reviewed Monday, running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (drugs, profanity, vulgarity, violence) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

UNTRACEABLE — * 1/2 — The latest "torture-porn" thriller should have been titled "Unwatchable." Diane Lane stars. Running time: 100 minutes, R (torture, violence, gore, profanity, drugs)

VANTAGE POINT — * 1/2 — A hopelessly convoluted and contrived thriller clearly trying to duplicate the style and feel of the vastly superior television series "24." Running time: 90 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, gore, brief drugs)

THE WATER HORSE: LEGEND OF THE DEEP — *** — The boy-and-his-creature fantasy has some genuine appeal, much of it being the talented European cast. Running time: 108 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, mild profanity)

WELCOME HOME ROSCOE JENKINS — * — An alternately gooey and annoying comedy in which Martin Lawrence tries to play straight man. Running time: 114 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, violence, profanity, sex, racial epithets, brief drugs)
