NEW FILMS FRIDAY

IN A DREAM — ★★★ — Jeremiah Zagars' documentary about his artist father is a biographical mosaic. Running time: 78 minutes, not rated, probable R (vulgarity, nudity, profanity, sex, drugs)

IS ANYBODY THERE? — ★★★ — Michael Caine is so watchable that we can forgive this film's occasional lapses. Running time: 94 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, slurs, violence, brief drugs, brief sex, brief nudity)

LOVE N' DANCING — ★½ — A clunky romancing-and-dancing tale with ridiculous dialogue and performances. Running time: 95 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, slurs, mild profanity)

NEXT DAY AIR — ★★ — A dopey, bloody and downbeat "Black Pineapple Express." Running time: 88 minutes, R (profanity, drugs, violence, brief sex) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

PARIS 36 — ★★ — A Gallic knock-off of Aussie Baz Luhrmann's 2001 musical-romance "Moulin Rouge." French with subtitles, running time: 115 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, slurs, brief sex, profanity, brief nudity, brief gore)

STAR TREK — ★★★½ — An exciting, constantly entertaining reboot of the supposedly exhausted Trek concept. Running time: 126 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, brief sex, slurs, brief drugs, brief gore)
