Date Night / ***1/2 (PG-13)
|
"Date Night" (PG-13, 88 minutes) Steve Carell and Tina Fey play a perfectly nice married couple from New Jersey who simply want to have a great night out together in Manhattan. Mistaken for another couple, they're spun into a nightmare involving a mob boss and an unpaid debt. Funny, because they seem halfway plausible. With Ray Liotta, Mark Wahlberg, James Franco. Directed by Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum"). Three and a half stars

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done / *** (No MPAA rating)
|
"My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done" (Unrated, 87 minutes) Werner Herzog's through-the-looking-glass version of a cop hostage drama, set in San Diego with excursions to an ostrich farm, the Peruvian rain forest and Mongolia. Not boring. Herzogian. With Willam Dafoe, Brad Dourif, Chloe Sevigny, Udo Kier, Grace Zabriskie and Verne Troyer. Three stars

After.Life / **1/2 (R)
|
"After.Life" (R, 118 minutes). After a car crash, Christina Ricci regains consciousness on a mortician's slab, and the undertaker (Liam Neeson) informs her she's dead, but is having a hard time accepting it. Well, is she? She talks, she moves--but us she alive? Her boyfriend (Justin Long) won't believe she's dead, but of course the police won't listen it him. A horror film that allows both possibilities. Well acted, nicely atmospheric, but finally frustrating because it leaves everything up to us to decide, and is deliberately too ambiguous to make that possible. Two and a half stars

The Greatest / ** (R)
|
"The Greatest" (R, 100 minutes) Good performances at the center of vagueness and confusion. Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan star as a couple shattered by the death of their son in a crash. Carey Mulligan as his girlfriend, who survives, and is left pregnant. Good actors, gripping story, but writer-director Shana Feste's film has inexplicable omissions, gaps and behavior that keep us at arm's length. Two stars

Clash of the Titans / *** (PG-13)
|
"Clash of the Titans? (PG-13, 106 minutes) Mortals in revolt against the gods, and battling terrifying lobster-monsters, the snake-haired Medusa, and the dreaded Kragon. A great deal of CGI action, skillfully done, and several good actors testing their skill at declamatory denunciation. With Sam Worthington as the buzz-cut, stubble-chinned hero Perseus in a land of bearded warriors, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Alexa Davalos as Andromeda. Not great cinema, but amusing silly fun. Three stars
