Movie list

New FILMS Friday

AFGHAN STAR — ★★★ — There's some genuine tension in this documentary about a reality-television competition. Persian with subtitles, running time: 87 minutes, not rated, probable PG-13 (slurs, violence, vulgarity)

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS — ★★★½ — A delicious farce that may be the funniest animated film of the year. Running time: 81 minutes, PG (mild profanity)— Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

COLD SOULS — ★★★ — A mix of surrealist science fiction and off-kilter humor that is not for all audiences or all tastes. Running time: 101 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, drugs, vulgarity, slurs, brief nudity, brief sex)

THE INFORMANT! — ★★½ — The fact-based, '80s-period comedy-drama is too talky for its own good. Matt Damon stars. Running time: 108 minutes, R (profanity, vulgarity, slurs, brief drugs)

JENNIFER'S BODY — ★½ — A gory horror-thriller that tries — and fails — to be equal parts snark and snarl. Megan Fox stars. Running time: 102 minutes, R (gore, profanity, violence, vulgarity, sex, slurs, brief drugs, brief nudity)

LORNA'S SILENCE — ★★★ — The lead character is unlikable, but this dramatic thriller has some effective moments. With subtitles, running time: 101 minutes, R (drugs, profanity, sex, brief nudity, violence, vulgarity, slurs, brief gore)

LOVE HAPPENS — ★★ — A cliche-ridden, treacly drama that trivializes the bereavement process. Aaron Eckhart stars. Running time: 109 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, violence, slurs, brief drugs)

MY ONE AND ONLY — ★★½ — A modestly diverting comedy-drama about George Hamilton's teen years. Renee Zellweger stars. Running time: 108 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, slurs, violence, brief sex, brief drugs)
