REBECCA HALL

THE TOWN

Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Rebecca Hall, Blake Lively, Pete Postlethwaite, Chris Cooper (Directed by Ben Affleck; Written by Ben Affleck, Peter Craig and Aaron Stockard; Warner Bros. Pictures)

Having made a striking directorial debut with “Gone Baby Gone,” the harrowing 2007 thriller starring his kid brother Casey, Ben Affleck recently decided he was ready for his own close-up. So he took on the weighty challenge of directing, co-writing and starring in “The Town,” an adaptation of Chuck Hogan’s tension-packed crime novel “Prince of Thieves.“ In the film, Affleck plays Doug MacRay, a tough dude who, like his best buddies in Charleston, a blue-collar section of Boston, grooves on robbing banks and armored cars, routinely terrorizing innocent bystanders in the process.

Yet MacRay is not all thug. More and more, his daydreams revolve around life in the slow lane of 9-to-5 employment and connubial cuddling with Claire (Rebecca Hall), a potentially dangerous witness to one of his uglier assaults. Sometimes people decide to make their daydreams come true, but that is not likely to be the real deal for MacRay, whose sense of loyalty to old friends is strong and seemingly unwavering. Besides, if he decides to go legit, he has reason to believe his trigger-happy colleagues in crime--especially "Hurt Locker's" Jeremy Renner as an itchy-fingered gun lover--will brand him a traitor and show him no mercy. So will it be a case of “Stick to Your Own Kind”? Or “Gone MacRay Gone”? Click here for a Critics Roundup on "The Town." Now Playing

JON HAMM

THE TOWN

ARMIE HAMMER

J. EDGAR

Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts, Judi Dench, Josh Lucas, Ken Howard (Directed by Clint Eastwood; Written by Dustin Lance Black; Warner Bros.)

J. Edgar Hoover, the much loved, much loathed co-founder and boss of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is played by Leonardo DiCaprio in this let-it-all-hang-out biopic. Under the direction of the preternaturally prolific Clint Eastwood, the film, which was written by Dustin Lance Black, the author of "Milk," will span many decades--from 1895 to 1972, the year Hoover died at the age of 77.

As a result, we will have the pleasure of seeing Dame Judi Dench play the youthful Hoover’s American-as-apple-pie mom, as well as Naomi Watts in the role of the aging Hoover's fiercely loyal secretary and Josh Lucas as Charles Lindbergh.

The most daring casting is perhaps that of Armie Hammer (the 24-year-old wonder who played both of the snooty, filthy-rich Winklevoss twins in “The Social Network”) in the part of Clyde Tolson, the FBI Associate Director who became Hoover's constant companion and sole heir. And, according to various sources, he was the true love of bachelor Hoover’s life. There have indeed been rumors that Eastwood plans to shoot at least one close-up showing Hammer and DiCaprio enjoying a tender kiss. That should make their day. Opening date to be announced

TOM HANKS

LARRY CROWNE

Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Cedric the Entertainer, Pam Grier, Jon Seda, Nia Vardalos, Ian Gomez (Directed by Tom Hanks; Written by Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos; Universal Pictures)

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts clicked as a team in “Charlie Wilson’s War.” Sharp, earthy and intimately in sync, they were strictly star stuff. Of course, it didn’t hurt to have Mike Nichols on the scene working his directorial wizardry on Aaron Sorkin’s artfully textured screenplay.

Will history repeat itself in “Larry Crowne,” the new Tom & Julia pairing? Maybe, but it doesn’t sound like a slam-dunk to me. This time, in place of Mike Nichols and Aaron Sorkin, we’re getting Tom Hanks and Tom Hanks. That’s right, the Oscar-winning actor has directed his own big-screen scenario for the first time since “That Thing You Do!,” a feeble, out-of-tune 1996 flick in which he played the manager of a band of post-juvenile musicians.

So who is this Larry Crowne and what does he want? He’s a middle-aged victim of the epidemic known as downsizing, and what he wants is a job. Three things stand in Larry’s way to prosperous employment: the trend in his godforsaken community is firing, not hiring; he’s middle-aged, going on senior citizenship; and he has no special skills. Yet he is not a total loser, as evidenced by his shrewd decision to enroll in a local college, where he plans to soak up the smarts that will morph him into a Very Irreplaceable Person. Naturally, he becomes a big man on campus, especially with the lunatic fringe, and he even manages to snuggle up and do some A+ homework with his public-speaking prof. Happily, she’s the brilliant, ravishing Julia Roberts, the teacher who has everything. Including a husband! Don’t be surprised, however, if her hubby flunks out.

Did I forget to mention that Tom Hanks did not concoct this daring, social-notworking tale all by himself? He got by with the help of an old friend—writer/actress Nia Vardalos. You may recall that Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, served as producers on “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” Vardalos’s wildly popular, screamingly unfunny 2002 comedy. (I still think of it as a Greek tragedy.) For the record, Nia’s husband, Ian Gomez, is also in “Larry Crowne.” What role does he play? I don’t know, but I’d be willing to bet that he has at least one scene with Nia. Now Playing

WOODY HARRELSON

SEVEN POUNDS

Will Smith, Woody Harrelson, Rosario Dawson, Madison Pettis, Barry Pepper, Michael Ealy, Steve Tom, Elpidia Carrillo (Directed by Gabriele Muccino; Written by Grant Nieporte; Columbia)

Multi-talented Will Smith targets our tear ducts in this tale of an IRS agent who is so overcome by guilt for the vile deeds of his past that he vows to put some joy in the lives of seven seriously suffering individuals. One is a blind pianist, played by Woody Harrelson; another is a perilously ill yet deeply seductive beauty, played by Rosario Dawson. You should probably be warned that this improbable story-line is not what "Seven Pounds" is really all about. In any event, you'd be best advised to bring along a hanky. Better make that two. Now Playing

JOSH HARTNETT

TEXAS LULLABY

Josh Hartnett, Ellen Barkin, John Malkovich, Alison Lohman, Tom Waits (Directed by Malcolm Venville; Written by Steve Allison; Alturus Films)

Something is rotten in the state of Texas. A young man (Josh Hartnett) is distraught because his father died mysteriously and his widowed mother (Ellen Barkin) has wed her late husband’s brother (John Malkovich), who happens to be the local sheriff. The son is so upset that he is now considering suicide. To be or not to be--that is the question to which we’re pretty sure we know the answer. Opening date to be announced

ANNE HATHAWAY

LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS

Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Judy Greer, Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria, Jill Clayburgh, George Segal, David Morse (Directed by Edward Zwick; Written by Charles Randolph; 20th Century Fox)

Back in 2005, in Ang Lee’s melancholy but triumphantly commercial “Brokeback Mountain,” Jake Gyllenhaal played a closeted gay cowpoke who carries a torch for his sexually conflicted buddy Heath Ledger and ends up marrying a crass, clueless but emphatically heterosexual rodeo addict played by Anne Hathaway.

Now Gyllenhaal and Hathaway are reteamed in another film with sex on its mind. This time, however, the focus will be primarily on nitty-gritty details--an intimate study of studly performance rather than a torturous exploration of sexual repression. And if the flick sticks to the story Jamie Reidy spun so mischievously in his 2005 memoir, “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman,” it may indeed stand tall at the box office.

Reidy, of course, is the former pitchman who made an easy bundle during the nineties peddling the little miracle pill from Pfizer that could turn men deflated by erectile dysfunction into round-the-clock lotharios. After leaving Pfizer, Reidy felt ready to try his hand at writing, and what he chose to write was a comical, anatomically explicit account of his time of toil in the drug industry. To his surprise, his new bosses at Eli Lilly failed to appreciate the raunchy humor employed by Reidy in “Hard Sell,” and he soon learned the hard way what it feels like to be unemployed.

Gyllenhaal, with his engaging, off-center sense of the ridiculous, seems a natural to play the guy who lucks into selling a product that practically sells itself. As for Hathaway, she’s a business client who happens to have Parkinson’s and, as it turns out, more than a dollars-and-cents interest in the conspicuously hot super salesman. Which is why she makes a pitch.

If "Love and Other Drugs" gives you an erection lasting more than four hours, call your shrink right away! Now Playing

ETHAN HAWKE

BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney, Marisa Tomei, Rosemary Harris, Brian F. O’Byrne, Marcia Jean Kurtz, Michael Shannon (Directed by Sidney Lumet; Written by Kelly Masterson; ThinkFilm)

If you’re so strapped for cash that masterminding a robbery seems your best solution, doesn’t it make perfect sense to target your Mom and Pop’s jewelry shop, thereby keeping things more or less in the family? That’s the shaky rationale of Andy (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Hank (Ethan Hawke), the desperate brothers in this psychological thriller from Sidney Lumet. "Devil" turned out to be a classy, complex affair, proving that the veteran director--whose meticulous studies of people accussed of breaking the law include “12 Angry Men,” “Fail Safe,” “The Anderson Tapes,” “The Offence,” “Serpico,” “Murder on the Orient Express,” “Dog Day Afternoon,” “Prince of the City,” “The Verdict,” “Gloria” and “Find Me Guilty”--has not lost his touch for making celluloid crime pay. Now Playing

GARRETT HEDLUND

TRON: LEGACY

Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Michael Sheen, Michael Teigen, Beau Garrett, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain (Directed by Joseph Kosinski; Written by Adam Horowitz, Richard Jefferies and Edward Kitsis; Disney)

You may have thought that Kevin Flynn, the brilliant, exceedingly daring video-game creator played by Jeff Bridges in the 1982 mega-hit “Tron,” had by now retired to a serene, gated community on the Pacific coast. If so, you’d be dead wrong.

As we learn in this cinematic update, Flynn, acted once again by the irreplaceable Bridges, went missing a couple of decades ago, much to the sorrow of his son Sam (Garrett Hedlund), who was not much more than a toddler when his dad vanished into thin sci-fi air.

So, naturally, the young man’s spirits are lifted considerably when he receives a mysterious electronic signal that could only be coming from Kevin. Alas, in his frantic attempt to hook up with Dad again, Sam is sucked into a nightmarish digital world, the very same villain-packed ground upon which Kevin has been trapped all these years.

We firmly believe that father and son will eventually return, shoulder to shoulder, to peaceful turf. But you can bet that their homeward journey will be unsparingly traumatic, especially when gimmicked up with the flashiest, dizziest state-of-the-art 3-D effects. Now Playing

COUNTRY STRONG

Gwyneth Paltrow, Garrett Hedlund, Tim McGraw, Leighton Meester (Written and directed by Shana Feste; Screen Gems)

In the mood for a musical quartet? Then “Country Strong” may be the movie for you, even though not every member of the film’s foursome is a musician, and the music involved is far from classical. In truth, it’s purely, proudly country music, the homespun, sexy, heartbreaking stuff that would be completely at home in Nashville.

Here’s the cast of characters: Kelly Canter (Gwyneth Paltrow), a been-there-done-that-too-many-times singer-guitarist who’s definitely on the skids; Beau Williams (Garrett Hedlund), a rising singer-composer star who wants to help Kelly get back on track—and into bed with him; Kelly’s loyal hubby Ed (Tim McGraw), who manages what’s left of his wife’s career; and Chiles Stanton (Leighton Meester, of “Gossip Girl” fame), a beauty pageant champ who’s determined to become a country western superstar, preferably one who sings with the ever-charismatic Beau Williams.

The writer-director of this film, Shana Feste, performed the same double-duty service on “The Greatest,” her 2009 feature debut starring Carey Mulligan, Susan Sarandon and Pierce Brosnan. It should also be noted that the original title for Feste’s second directorial effort was “Love Don’t Let Me Down.” Can’t help wondering who the genius was that thought “Country Strong” was a more marketable title. Now Playing

KATHERINE HEIGL

KILLERS

Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Tom Selleck, Catherine O’Hara, Katheryn Winnick, Kevin Sussman (Directed by Robert Luketic; Written by Bob DeRosa and T. M. Griffin; Lionsgate)

You felt sorry for Katherine Heigl because she got such a raw deal as the trusting airhead who is impregnated by slothful slob Seth Rogen in “Knocked Up”? Then you may be happy to find her in the intimate company of a former CIA superspy, a smooth, sexy hero—played by Ashton Kutcher--who decides he wants to marry her the minute he meets her on the French Rivera. And before long, the newlyweds are cuddling in the serenity of suburbia. But they do not live happily ever after. That’s because assassins from out of hubby’s past want to play a part in what is beginning to look a lot like a very short future.

Did we forget to tell you that this is a comedy? Well, apparently somebody forgot to tell the audience on the day the movie opened, because the tragic truth is that nobody laughed. So now “Killers” is giving “Sex and the City 2” heavy competition for the title of The Unfunniest Movie of the Year. Now Playing

BARBARA HERSHEY

BLACK SWAN

Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder, Benjamin Millepied (Directed by Darren Aronofsky; Written by Mark Heyman, Andrew Heinz and John McLaughlin; Fox Searchlight)

How does one top the spectacle of Mickey Rourke as a physically battered, emotionally numb, spiritually dumb wrestler lurching bloodily about inside the ring and crashing even more catastrophically outside it?

It can’t be easy, but here’s how Darren Aronofsky, the director who transformed laughable loser Mickey Rourke into a serious Oscar contender for “The Wrestler,” performed still another impressive miracle. He took the ravishingly cool, ethereal Natalie Portman, heated her up, and then dumped her, feet first, into the cuttingly competitive, sometimes ghoulish, arena of classical ballet.
Portman plays Nina Sayers, an obsessive, self-lacerating, borderline psychotic who simply must be a diva or die. Literally.

Living in a cramped Upper West Side apartment with her toxically adoring stage mama (Barbara Hershey), Nina pirouettes her way to the brink of stardom in a bizarre staging of “Swan Lake” slotted for Manhattan’s Lincoln Center. But a totally unrehearsed twist of plot suddenly casts a sinister shadow on Nina’s fairytale dream: her rogue of a choreographer (Vincent Cassel) insists that the sultry allure she needs to project on stage can best be achieved just a few steps beyond his bedroom door.

What’s a poor virginal girl to do? Possibly the key to Nina’s psychosexual lock may be located in the intimate company of Beth MacIntyre, the incurably high-strung dancer played by Winona Ryder. Or, better still, the sizzly little number named Lily (Mila Kunis), with whom Nina eventually collaborates on a notably uninhibited, strictly offstage, scene.

But where will it all end? Well, have you never seen “The Red Shoes”? Now Playing

JONAH HILL

GET HIM TO THE GREEK

Jonah Hill, Russell Brand, Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne, Colm Meaney, Sean Combs (Written and directed by Nicholas Stoller; Universal Pictures)

The “Him” here is Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), a stoned, crude, shamelessly horny British rock star suffering a breakdown over the catastrophic flop of “African Child,” his latest album. But who has been ordered to get Snow to the Greek, that storied Concert Hall in Los Angeles where the mercurial performer might stage a sensational comeback? It’s pudgy, super-excitable Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), a record company staffer assigned by his boss Sergio Roma (Sean Combs) to speed to London, collect the swirling Snow and bring him back alive and sedate as possible to L.A.
Will Brand and Hill emerge from this thinly plotted gross-out devised by Nicholas Stoller, a protégé of anything-for-a-laugh filmmaker Judd Apatow, as the 21st Century answer to Abbott and Costello? See “Get Him to the Greek” and judge for yourself. Now Playing

EMILE HIRSCH

MILK

Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch, James Franco, Diego Luna, Lucas Grabeel, Howard Rosenman, Stephen Spinella, Victor Garber (Directed by Gus Van Sant; Written by Dustin Lance Black; Focus Features)

On November 27, 1978, Harvey Milk, a militant gay activist and enormously charismatic San Francisco supervisor, was shot dead, along with his boss, Mayor George Moscone, by Dan White, a vengeful ex-supervisor. The light sentence given to the assassin led to San Francisco’s historic White Night Riots. Under the masterful direction of openly gay Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn plays Harvey Milk and Josh Brolin is Dan White. Now Playing

DUSTIN HOFFMAN

LITTLE FOCKERS

Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson, Jessica Alba, Harvey Keitel, Laura Dern, Raven-Symone (Directed by Paul Weitz; Written by John Hamburg and Victoria Strouse; Universal Pictures)

They’re baaaack! We’re talking about the unstoppable Fockers--horny, long-in-the-tooth Bernie and his sex-therapist spouse Roz (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand) and their incurably nerdy son (Ben Stiller). We’re also talking about the Byrnes clan, former CIA operative Bernie and his long-suffering wife (Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner) and their flaky daughter (Teri Polo), who has married the nerd of the Focker family and more or less glued her clan to his clan.

You may or may not be stunned to learn that the stickiest glue holding the families together is a precious, notably photogenic set of twins named Henry and Samantha. And if this installment of the lucrative franchise works out as expected, we may soon behold the blessed event of little Focker triplets! Now Playing

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN

JACK GOES BOATING

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Ryan, John Ortiz, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Elizabeth Rodriguez, Stephen Adly Guirgis, Mark Vincent, Kevin Cannon, Ricky Garcia, Shawna Bermender, Richard Petrocelli (Directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman; Written by Bob Glaudini; Overture Films)

One of the most critically acclaimed Off Broadway plays of the 2007 season was Bob Glaudini’s romantic comedy about a chubby, dreadlocked, pot-smoking New York limo driver named Jack who is set up by Clyde, his best buddy, with a motor-mouthed embalmer’s assistant. Especially promising is the fact that playwright-turned-screenwriter Glaudini has lined up Philip Seymour Hoffman, the Off-Broadway Jack, not only to star in the film but to direct as well.

Also making the transition from stage to screen are John Ortiz as the match-making Clyde and Daphne Rubin-Vega as his highly-sexed sweetheart. Playing Connie, the gabbiest toiler at Dr. Bob’s Funeral Home in Brooklyn, is Amy Ryan, best known to movie audiences for her major emoting in the minor role of the mother of a missing child in 2007’s “Gone Baby Gone.” Now Playing

ANTHONY HOPKINS

YOU WILL MEET A TALL DARK STRANGER

Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto, Lucy Punch, Naomi Watts, Anna Friel, Ewen Bremner,, Carla Bruni, Pauline Collins, Christian McKay, Neil Jackson, Jim Piddock (Written and directed by Woody Allen; Sony Classics)

Woody’s latest flick, in which he does not appear, has its very own Facebook page. Here’s what it has to say about “Dark Stranger’s” story line. "A little romance, some sex, some treachery, and apart from that, a few laughs. The lives of a group of people, whose passions, ambitions and anxieties force them all into assorted troubles that run the gamut from ludicrous to dangerous.” Any questions?

HENRY HOPPER

RESTLESS

Mia Wasikowska, Henry Hopper, Ryo Kase, Schuyler Fisk, Jane Adams, Lusia Strus, Chin Han (Directed by Gus Van Sant; Written by Jason Lew; Sony Pictures Classics)

How’s this for meeting cute? A lovely teenager is so ill that her latest prognosis is “not long for this world.” And that’s when she encounters—and totally flips for—a jolly lad whose greatest thrill in life is attending a well-done funeral. Sounds like there’s a happy ending round the bend for this love-crazed couple, especially if they can shake the ghost of a World War II kamikaze pilot who makes it his business to haunt them night and day (You probably think I’m making this up, but I’m not.)

Written by actor Jason Lew (“All God’s Children Can Dance”), this tricky tale is apt to leave audiences both laughing and crying, partly because it has been directed by Gus Van Sant, who demonstrated his exceptional flair for mixing moods in “Drugstore Cowboy,” “My Own Private Idaho,” “To Die For,” “Good Will Hunting” and “Milk.” (Forget Van Sant’s sluggish salute to Hitchcock in the remake of “Psycho.” Nobody’s perfect.)

Two more reasons to have high hopes for “Restless”: Its seemingly doomed heroine is played by Mia Wasikowska, the young Australian actress who becomes more and more impressive with each new film, as she has recently demonstrated in “Alice in Wonderland,” “The Kids Are All Right” and “Jane Eyre," and Mia's leading man, Henry Hopper, is the son of the late Dennis Hopper. Opening date to be announced

KATE HUDSON

THE KILLER IN ME

Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Simon Baker, Bill Pullman, Ned Beatty, Elias Koteas, Liam Aiken, Rosa Pasquarella (Directed by Michael Winterbottom; Written by John Curran; IFC)

“I don’t understand how Sundance could book this movie,” raged a woman in the audience at the 2010 Sundance Festival screening of the nerve-blasting adaptation of Jim Thompson’s novel about a psychopathic, murderous Texas deputy sheriff who moonlights as a specialist in the savaging of beautiful young women. “How dare you?," the offended viewer went on. "How dare Sunda?”

The auteur who dared to rattle quite a few Sundance movie buffs is Michael Winterbottom, whose credits include “Butterfly Kiss,” “Jude,” “Wonderland,” “24 Hour Party People,” “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story,” “The Road to Guantanamo” and “A Mighty Heart.” This noir shocker, marking the British director’s U.S. film debut, stars the increasingly unnerving Casey Affleck as super-creepy villain Lou Ford and features Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson as two of his grotesquely brutalized victims.

What, you might well wonder, made Ford the insatiable sadist that he is? And how much longer will this lawman continue to stir up his own private crime wave? See “The Killer in Me” and find out. If you dare. Now Playing

HELEN HUNT

THEN SHE FOUND ME

Helen Hunt, Bette Midler, Colin Firth, Matthew Broderick (Written and directed by Helen Hunt; Killer Films)

Bet you didn’t know that Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt is also a writer and director. At least, she’s written this adaptation of Elinor Lipman’s comic novel, and she plays the central role of a schoolteacher whose husband (Matthew Broderick) decides to drop out of their marriage. But the really sad thing that happens is that her mom dies.

And perhaps saddest of all is the decision of her birth mother, who abandoned her 36 years ago, to move in with--and perform a makeover on--Helen. Unlike the prim lady who raised Helen, this TV talk-show hostess, played by Bette Midler, is a total flake, a woman who doesn’t hesitate to put the moves on a charmer (Colin Firth) to whom her daughter has recently been introduced by a thoughtful student. Now Playing

ANJELICA HUSTON

CHOKE

Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, Kelly Macdonald, Brad William Henke, Clark Gregg, Joel Grey, Bijou Phillips, Willi Burke (Written and directed by Clark Gregg; Fox Searchlight)

A boy’s best friend is not always his mother, and that’s very much the case in this adaptation of "Choke," the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, cult author of "Fight Club." Yet, even though sicko lawbreaker Ida Mancini (Anjelica Huston) has always been cruel in her treatment of her son Victor (Sam Rockwell), the loyal lad foots the bill for her stay in a bizarre institution for women suffering from dementia.

But how does he come up with the money, considering the fact that he is paid a mere pittance for his labors in a Colonial American theme park? Easy--he dines in elegant restaurants, pretends to be choking to death on his gourmet meal and then fleeces the sap who steps in to perform the Heimlich Maneuver.

And, in his spare time, the orgasm-obsessed Victor attends 12-step meetings for sex addicts with Denny (Brad William Henke), his masturbation-crazed best friend. Meanwhile, mom's nurse (Kelly Macdonald) is hatching a scheme whereby an unsuspecting Victor will sire her child. Now Playing
