Daily Box Office: Thursday, April 29, 2010
The Back-Up Plan tops Thursday's box office with $0.8 million

A Nightmare on Elm Street / * (R)
"Nightmare on Elm Street" (R, 95 minutes). Teenagers are introduced, enjoy brief moments of happiness, are haunted by nightmares, and then slashed to death by Freddy. So what? One star

The Square / ***1/2 (R)
"The Square" (R, 116 minutes). In a small Australian town, a married construction supervisor is having an affair with the wife of a lowlife. When she discovers her husband's illegal cash, they plan to steal it and run away together. This doesn't go as planned, in a first-rate, classically effective film noir thriller. Three and a half stars

Exit Through the Gift Shop / ***1/2 (Unrated)
"Exit Through the Gift Shop" (Unrated, 86 minutes). A London graffiti artist named Banksy arrives in Los Angeles and meets an obscure Frenchman named Thierry Guetta, who has dedicated his life to videotaping graffiti artists. While Banksy is editing the footage, Guette renames himself Mr. Brainwash, becomes an artist, and organizes an exhibition of his work through which he makes a fortune in sales. Fascinating and funny--and not a hoax. Three and a half stars

Harry Brown / *** (R)
"Harry Brown" (R, 103 minutes). Michael Caine in a subtly powerful performance as a lonely old man in a shabby London housing estate, which is terrorized by thugs. As an ex-Marine, he's locked all his skills in a box and thrown away the key. That's what he thinks. A revenge thriller poised somewhere between "Death Wish" and "Gran Torino." Caine is a master. Three stars

Who Do You Love? / **1/2 (Unrated)
"Who Do You Love?" (Unrated, 90 minutes). Another retelling (after the 2008 "Cadillac Records") of the saga of Chess Records, the little label from the South Side of Chicago that helped revolutionize American music. The brothers Chess, Leonard and Phil, sell the family junk yard to start a club and then the label, and release hits by Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon and Etta James. A little passive in the story telling, but a lot of great music. Two and a half stars
