NEW FILMS TODAY

ALL ROADS LEAD HOME — * 1/2— A family drama that's far more hackneyed than it is heartwarming. Vivien Cardone (TV's "Everwood") stars. Complete review in this section, running time: 108 minutes, PG (violence, drugs, vulgarity, mild profanity, slurs, nude artwork)

CHOKE — ** 1/2 — A darkly comic, highly dysfunctional and possibly offensive tale based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel. Complete review in this section, running time: 92 minutes, R (vulgarity, sex, profanity, nudity, slurs, brief drugs, violence)

EAGLE EYE — *** — A thriller that's either one of the year's sillier films or one of its most enjoyable ones. Or possibly both. Complete review in this section, running time: 118 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief drugs, slurs)

FOREVER STRONG — *** — This sports drama is the most polished film to emerge from a recent glut of locally produced features. Complete review in this section, running time: 110 minutes, PG-13 (violence, drugs, vulgarity, slurs, brief gore)

THE LUCKY ONES — ** — This all-over-the-place road-picture dramedy is a well-intentioned mess. Complete review in this section, running time: 108 minutes, R (profanity, sex) —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA — ** — Yet another attempt by Spike Lee to make a grand cinematic statement. This time it's a clumsy World War II tale. Complete review in this section, running time: 155 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, slurs, vulgarity, brief nudity, brief drugs, brief sex)

NIGHTS IN RODANTHE — ** — The movie version of the Nicholas Sparks tale begins with promise but drowns in syrupy sentimentality. Complete review in this section, running time: 98 minutes, PG-13 (sex)—Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

TOWELHEAD — ** — A muddled, confused coming-of-age tale that comes from Oscar-winning screenwriter of "American Beauty." Complete review in this section, running time: 124 minutes, R (vulgarity, sex, slurs, profanity, brief partial nudity, violence)
