NEW FILMS FRIDAY
THE ART OF THE STEAL — ★★★ — This documentary about an ongoing American art controversy is sure to get devoted art lovers' blood boiling. Running time: 101 minutes; not rated, probable R (nude art, profanity, violence, vulgarity, slurs, brief drugs)
CHLOE — ★★ — A sleazy, same-sex variation on "Fatal Attraction." Julianne Moore stars. Running time: 96 minutes; R (vulgarity, sex, profanity, nudity, brief drugs, violence, brief gore)
GREENBERG — ★★ — Co-star Greta Gerwig is the best part of this otherwise uninteresting comedy-drama starring Ben Stiller. Running time: 108 minutes; R (profanity, drugs, sex, nudity, vulgarity, slurs, violence)
HOT TUB TIME MACHINE — ★★½ — A sloppy, raucous time travel farce in the grown-men-gone-wild "Hangover" style. John Cusack stars. Running time: 90 minutes; R (vulgarity, sex, nudity, drugs, profanity) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel
HOUSE — ★★ — A peculiar horror-comedy from 1977 that's an endurance test for all but the most determined of movie fans. Japanese with subtitles; running time: 87 minutes; not rated, probable R (violence, gore, nudity, slurs, mild profanity)
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON — ★★★ — A cartoon feature, based on the popular books, that's a lot more fun and enjoyable than it has any right to be. Running time: 95 minutes; PG (violence, slurs, vulgarity)
