Lessons in Babysittingnew
This remake of Fred Walton's 1979 film is a hollow, shallow and just plain boring exercise in snooziness.

Sellers' Marketnew
In this pointless rehash, Steve Martin inhabits the role of the bumbling French detective without a trace of the comic genius of Peter Sellers.

Happily Ever Afternew
This traditional romantic comedy with a lesbian twist has its charms, but for a movie about loving radically, it sure plays it safe.

Thinning the Teenage Herdnew
It’s not going to nab any golden statuettes, mind you, but this shocker takes such exuberant, gleeful delight in the unspeakably gory dispatch of assorted teenagers that it may well be the most fun you’ll have at the movies all week.

Bananaramanew
It's not perfect, but the big-screen debut of H.A. Rey's lovable monkey is faithful to George's gentle spirit while fully exploiting the possibilities of old-school, two-dimensional animation.

Rainbow Rocknew
This rambling, celebratory documentary covers performances from all six years of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival and manages to catch the laid-back, slow-fi charm of the actual event.

Banana Fritter
Despite a couple of good jokes, George's plot line is too blah for bigger kids and too complicated for the pre-K acolytes.

God Bless Americash
Jarecki ineffectively seeks a recurring pattern in a war that, thanks to arrogance, incompetence, and other still-hidden reasons, breaks many of the long-standing rules of American military engagement.

Bushy Tales
With a beguilingly relaxed rhythm and elegant cinematography, Three Burials is a pleasure to watch, yet the film lacks a critical dramatic element -- growth.
