Body of Lies (R, 128 minutes) Dude-tastic director Ridley Scott’s dude-heavy drama, based on the 2007 novel by David Ignatius, of a couple of CIA dudes (Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe) trying to out-dude a terrorist network and maybe each other. Playing at Regal Seminole Square 4
Burn After Reading (R, 95 minutes) In the latest Coen Brothers romp, a CIA agent’s tell-all falls into the hands of folks who want to sell it, but aren’t publishers. Starring George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and Brad Pitt. Read C-VILLE’s full review here. Playing at Regal Downtown Mall 6
Changeling (R, 140 minutes) Reviewed here. Playing at Carmike Cinema 6
The Duchess (PG-13, 105 minutes) Who’s cheating who? Keira Knightley stays classy and frilly in this period drama about the Duchess of Devonshire, who answers her husband’s promiscuity with an affair of her own. That’ll end well. Playing at Regal Downtown Mall 6
Eagle Eye (PG-13, 118 minutes) Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan follow the bidding of a voice over the phone. Why? You’ll find out. Playing at Regal Downtown Mall 6
The Haunting of Molly Hartley (PG-13, 86 minutes) The new girl in town (Haley Bennett) has a dark secret: bad parenting. No, we mean really bad; they made a pact with the devil, who now wants what’s owed to him. Directed, in his debut, by Broken Hearts Club producer Mickey Liddell. Playing at Regal Seminole Square 4

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (PG, 89 minutes) Having made it from the Central Park Zoo to Madagascar, Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer and the gang (as animated animals, you understand) brave the wilds of mainland Africa and get in touch with their roots. Opening Friday
Max Payne (PG-13, 100 minutes) After fining his family murdered, a rogue cop (Mark Wahlberg) descends into a nocturnal underworld on a quest for revenge. Yes, it’s based on a video game, but the concept is, well, timeless, really. Playing at Regal Seminole Square 4
Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist (PG-13, 90 minutes) Michael Cera and Kat Dennings play two cute proto-hipster high schoolers—apparently no relation whatsoever to Nick and Nora Charles of the Thin Man movies of the ’30s—who hang out all night in New York and go to shows and get into each other. Read C-VILLE’s full review here. Playing at Carmike Cinema 6
Pride and Glory (R, 129 minutes) Edward Norton, Colin Farrell and Jon Voight star in what is probably a cookie-cutter New York City family/cop drama of tested loyalties. But you know you want to see because of who’s in it. Read C-VILLE’s full review here. Playing at Carmike Cinema 6
Role Models (R, 100 minutes) Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott play a pair of comically obnoxious energy drink sales-man-boys who mess up their company truck and pay for it with community service–namely, mentoring young misfit kids. It’s not saying that bitterness and vulgarity for it’s own sake is funny. It’s saying that bitterness and vulgarity from children is funny. Opening Friday
Saw V (R, 95 minutes) Don’t you kinda wish for a franchise crossover between these torture-porn horror flicks and the High School Musical movies? This one was directed by the guy who was the production designer on the other Saw movies, so it’s in, well, hands. Playing at Carmike Cinema 6
The Secret Life of Bees (PG-13, 109 minutes) Sue Monk Kidd’s bestselling novel gets its due as an adaptation starring Queen Latifah and indestructible child actress Dakota Fanning. Playing at Regal Downtown Mall 6
Sex Drive (R, 109 minutes) A teen road-trip sex comedy. Or maybe a teen sex-trip road comedy. See, it works on many levels. Josh Zuckerman plays a virgin donut-shop worker who drives 500 miles to score, he hopes, with a dream girl he met online. Playing at Carmike Cinema 6
Soul Men (R, 103 minutes) Feuding former back-up singers (Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac) reunite for a reluctant road trip. So it’s sort of like The Bucket List meets The Dark Knight—not because comic book superheroes are involved, but because, sadly, this movie will have to be for the late Bernie Mac and the late Isaac Hayes, who co-stars, what that last Batman flick was for the late Heath Ledger. Probably funnier than The Dark Knight and The Bucket List put together, but that’s not saying much. Opening Friday
W. (PG-13, 110 minutes) Why, it’s never too soon for a new dispatch from American cinema’s unauthorized presidential biographer, Oliver Stone! This one surveys the outgoing POTUS’ life, with Josh Brolin, James Cromwell and Ellen Burstyn as George W., George H.W. and Barbara Bush, respectively. Also featuring Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney, Toby Jones as Karl Rove, and many more. Don’t misunderestimate it. Playing at Regal Downtown Mall 6
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (R, 101 Minutes) Remember when people said “porno” instead of “porn”? Ah, simpler days. Kevin Smith remembers, and his new comedy stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks as platonic pals who get into the adult entertainment business, and maybe into each other’s hearts. And pants?
