ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL — ★★★½ — A winning and surprisingly moving documentary about a struggling Canadian heavy metal band. Running time: 90 minutes, not rated, probable R (profanity, vulgarity) — Cary Darling, McClatchy Newspapers
THE BROTHERS BLOOM — ★★★ — A peculiar, darkly comic caper film with clever lines of dialogue and some serious literary references. Running time: 109 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, slurs, brief nudity, brief sex, gore)
DRAG ME TO HELL — ★★★ — This modestly budgeted, supernatural thriller is one of the more fun films to come along this year. Running time: 99 minutes, PG-13 (violence, gore, slurs, vulgarity, profanity, nude art)
THE GARDEN — ★★★ — This documentary about a California community garden wears its heart on its sleeve. With subtitles, running time: 80 minutes, not rated, probable R (violence, profanity, slurs, brief drugs)

UP — ★★★★ — Disney-Pixar's latest cartoon feature strikes a good balance between humor and necessary character drama. Running time: 96 minutes, PG (violence, mild vulgarity, slurs)
MIDNIGHT MOVIE
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW — ★★½ — The uneven but popular rock opera about transvestites from outer space is entertaining when viewed with interactive crowds. Running time: 100 minutes, R (violence, sex, profanity, vulgarity) (May 31: Tower)
