NEW FILMS FRIDAY

BRUNO — ★★ — Too much of the same thing from Borat creator and star Sacha Baron Cohen. Running time: 82 minutes, R (vulgarity, profanity, nudity, sex, violence, slurs, brief drugs)

THE HURT LOCKER — ★★★★ — A tense thriller that is arguably the best feature film made about the Iraq War so far. Running time: 131 minutes, R (violence, profanity, gore, vulgarity, slurs, brief drugs)

I LOVE YOU, BETH COOPER — ★ — An unfunny comedy that unsuccessfully tries to re-create the classic John Hughes comedies. Running time: 104 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, violence, brief sex, slurs, brief drugs, nudity, brief gore)

MOON — ★★★ — A well-acted sci-fi/thriller with numerous nods to its equally heady predecessors. Sam Rockwell stars. Running time: 97 minutes, R (profanity, violence, gore, brief sex, brief partial nudity, brief drugs, vulgarity)

TULPAN — ★★½ — A portrayal of a culture that's been spoofed and parodied by other features. Russian with subtitles, running time: 100 minutes, not rated, probable PG-13 (nude photos, violence, slurs, vulgarity, brief drugs)
