UNDER THE SEA 3D — ★★★ — This "sequel" to the 2006, large-screen hit "Deep Sea 3D" holds our interest just fine. Narrated by Jim Carrey. Shown in 3D, running time: 40 minutes, G (violence) (Clark Planetarium)

CONTINUING FILMS

17 AGAIN — ★★½ — Zac Efron does show some charm in this silly but fun comic fantasy. Running time: 102 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, violence, profanity, slurs, brief drugs, brief sex)

ANGELS & DEMONS — ★½ — A thriller so far-fetched that it makes the "National Treasure" movies look plausible. Tom Hanks stars. Running time: 138 minutes, PG-13 (violence, gore, drugs, nude art, profanity)

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)

DEPARTURES — ★★★ — This thoughtful drama's deliberate tempo may test the patience of some. Japanese with subtitles, running time: 130 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, sex, brief partial nudity, brief gore, mild profanity, slurs)

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)

EASY VIRTUE — ★★ — There's not enough of Noel Coward's biting wit on display here. Jessica Biel stars. Running time: 96 minutes, PG-13 (sex, brief nudity, vulgarity, slurs, violence)

FAST & FURIOUS — ★½ — Essentially a remake of the 2001 hit "The Fast and the Furious" with the same cast. Running time: 108 minutes, PG-13 (violence, sex, profanity, drugs) — Christy Lemire, Associated Press

FIGHTING — ★★ —A silly, yet sometimes entertaining variation on the "Big Fight" movie formula. Running time: 105 minutes, PG-13 (violence, sex, profanity) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

THE HANGOVER — ★★★ — Given how sick-and-wrong this comedy is, you may feel guilty for laughing. Running time: 100 minutes, R (profanity, vulgarity, violence, drugs, nudity, slurs, sex, brief gore)

HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE — ★★ — A mix of musical numbers and silly slapstick, clearly crafted for Miley fans. Running time: 102 minutes, G (slapstick violence, mild profanity, mild profanity)
