    MOVIES
    21 jump street
    In 21 Jump Street, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum turn up first as high school enemies. Hill is a nerd; Tatum is the popular jock. Time passes, and both men enrol in the police academy. Theyre hopeless as cops. Nonetheless, they get an assignment to catch a drug lord operating out of a high school, and so our bumbling heroes turn back the clock several years to go undercover. The film is rude, speedy and outrageous, and we mean that in the best way. ****

    Dr. seuss the loraX


    The Lorax, based on Dr. Seuss book, focuses on a lovestruck boy named Ted (voiced by Zac Efron), whos determined to find a real tree for the beautiful Audrey (Taylor Swift), with the help of his raging granny (Betty White). The quest takes him to the hermit home of the Once-ler (Ed Helms), who tells the tale of a misguided young man and how his dream of providing materials for the masses produced ecological disaster. This despite the fervent efforts of the defender of the trees, the Lorax (Danny DeVito). The Lorax is a fun, fast-paced little movie. ***

    niss steps in to replace her fragile kid sister, and is joined by the local baker Peeta Mell a r k ( Jo s h Hu t c h e r s o n ) . Theyre joined by a couple of dubious mentors, including etiquette advisor Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), wardrobe advisor Cinna (Lenny Kravitz), and the drunk and cynical Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson). The Hunger Games is undeniably a rich fantasy adventure. ****

    in DarKness
    In Darkness is about the Nazi-occupied city of Lvov during the Second World War, where a handful of Jews survived by hiding in the citys sewer system. Their hiding place and their survival depended upon a Catholic sewer worker and antiSemite Leopold Socha (Robert Wieckiewicz) who hid the Jews for money. In Darkness is a thriller, of course, as both Socha and his hidden group face discovery and death every day. ***

    american reunion
    American Reunion is the fourth installment of the sex-crazed comedy. The old crowd gets together back for a high school reunion, and it turns out some things never change. Jim (Jason Biggs) is still preoccupied with masturbating; Oz (Chris Klein) is a successful TV sportscaster; Stiffler (Seann William Scott) is still a lusty loose cannon obsessed with high school girls; and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) are about the same. There are two comedic elements in American Reunion worth experiencing, and they are Eugene Levy, as Jims bumbling dad and Scotts Stiffler. American Reunion is a dopey movie with two or three laugh-out-loud moments. **

    frienDs With KiDs


    Friends With Kids is a contemporary romantic comedy set in New York. Jennifer Westfeldt and Adam Scott star as Julie and Jason, best friends in a group that includes one married couple played by Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig, and another played by Maya Rudolph and Chris ODowd. Its all footloose and fancyfree until those married couples start having babies, and then life gets a bit more complicated. Friends with Kids has a great cast and better-thanaverage writing, but its uneven overall and the ending is clunky. ***

    john carter
    John Carter begins with cynical ex-Civil War soldier Carter (Taylor Kitsch) butting heads with Col. Powell (Bryan Cranston). On the run from Powell, Carter hides in a cave and activates mysterious mumbo jumbo that lands him on Mars. There he encounters his first Martian, Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe), the leader of a species known as the Tharks. Carter eventually breaks away along with a helpful female Thark (Samantha Morton), Heliumite princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins), and jumps into head-exploding intrigue. John Carter is entertaining when its in action mode, but drags when it fixates on the byzantine planet politics. ** Opens today.

    Seann William Scott returns in the fourth entry of the American Pie series, American Reunion.
    In Mirror, Mirror, Lily Collins stars as Snow White, a princess left to fend for herself after the king, her father, vanishes. She is just a child when the kingdom is taken over by her fathers second wife; that stepmother queen (Julia Roberts) is concerned only with her own beauty and the things money can buy. The rest of the players are Armie Hammer as a visiting handsome prince, Nathan Lane as the Queens henchman and those famed seven little people, here given names such as Grub and Wolf to distinguish them from the whole Disney take. While colourful and full of silly jokes, Mirror, Mirror is a tad too long and slow. *** decrepit apartment building in Jakarta and attempt to capture a drug lord named Tama (Ray Sahetapy) who controls the entire building. Energetic, technically impressive, laced with tension and spectacularly violent, The Raid has been making waves wherever it plays. **** public image. Salmon Fishing in Yemen is a wonderfully rich experience that most romantic comedies can only dream about. ***

    Wrath of the titans


    The sequel to Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans returns us to Perseus (Sam Worthington), who is called into battle again when Zeuss ( L i a m Ne e s o n ) b ro t h e r Hades (Ralph Fiennes) plan to unleash Chronos, the exiled god of the Titans. Perseus fights a Minotaur, not one but three Cyclops, and so on. Wrath of the Titans is a big, dumb, spectacular, dazzling, roller-coaster of pseudo-awesomeness. **

    being flynn
    In Being Flynn, De Niro plays Jonathan Flynn, a failed writer whose delusions of grandeur remain intact, even as his failures knock him down the food chain from cabbie living in a slum to unemployed homeless guy crashing in a shelter where his estranged son (Paul Dano) works. Being Flynn is a melancholy exercise, a not particularly well-written take on the
