NEW FRIDAY
8: THE MORMON PROPOSITION — ★½ — A heavy-handed, supposed nonfiction feature that makes Michael Moore look "subtle" by comparison. Running time: 78 minutes; R (profanity, slurs, violence, vulgarity, brief drugs, torture)
EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP — ★★★½ — A brilliantly untrustworthy documentary that becomes an act of provocation unto itself. Running time: 78 minutes; R (profanity) — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
JONAH HEX — Josh Brolin plays the grizzled Civil War veteran in this Western based on the popular DC Comics character. Running time: 81 minutes; PG-13 (violence)
PLEASE GIVE — ★★★ — This bittersweet comedy-drama's observations about guilt and mourning are unexpectedly moving and effective. Running time: 90 minutes; R (profanity, nudity, drugs, brief sex, slurs, vulgarity)
TOY STORY 3 — ★★★★ — The animated "three-quel" is funny, thrilling, smart and even a little touching — and is easily the best film of the summer so far. Running time: 103 minutes; G (violence, vulgarity, slurs)
NEW WEDNESDAY
KNIGHT AND DAY — Action comedy starring Cameron Diaz as a kidnapped woman who begins aiding her on-the-run captor (Tom Cruise). To be reviewed when it opens next week; running time: 110 minutes; PG-13 (violence, profanity)
