THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT — ★★ — An "Amityville Horror" variation "based on the true story." Running time: 92 minutes, PG-13 (violence) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

IMAGINE THAT — ★ — A movie so deprived of humor it almost defies categorization as a comedy. Running time: 107 minutes, PG (vulgarity, violence, mild profanity, slurs, brief drugs)

KNOWING — ★ — Basically a cinematic defense of numerology. Nicolas Cage stars. Running time: 110 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

LAND OF THE LOST — ★★ — The big-screen adaptation of the kids show is full of lowest common denominator humor. Running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, drugs, brief sex, slurs, brief gore, nude art)

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS — ★★★½ — An animated, science-fiction/comedy with considerable charms and excitement. Running time: 94 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, brief drugs, mild profanity, slurs)

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN — ★★ — An unnecessary sequel to Ben Stiller's 2006 smash "Night at the Museum." Running time: 105 minutes, PG (violence, profanity, vulgarity, slurs, nude artwork)

OBSESSED — ★ — This domestic thriller feels like something from about 1984. Beyonce Knowles stars. Running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (sex, profanity, vulgarity, violence) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

OUTRAGE — ★★★ — The fact that this gay politics documentary will get people talking makes it worthwhile. Running time: 90 minutes, not rated, probable R (vulgarity, profanity, slurs, violence)

PAUL BLART: MALL COP — ★★ — "The King of Queens" star Kevin James plays a harried security guard in this unfunny comedy. Running time: 87 minutes, PG (violence, mild profanity, slurs, vulgarity)

THE PROPOSAL — ★★★ — More fun than earlier clunkers like "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" and "My Life in Ruins." Sandra Bullock stars. Running time: 108 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, brief sex, brief partial nudity, slurs, violence)

RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN — ★★½ — While it's not classic sci-fi, this remake is fun. Dwayne Johnson stars. Running time: 98 minutes, PG (violence, brief drugs, slurs)
