hoodwinked

It may be a poor cousin to the Shrek franchise, but this made-on-the-cheap computer-animated feature still has more style and snarky gags than Disney's recent CG hit, Chicken Little.

Rated: PG-13

Glory Road

The basketball team from tiny Texas Western College, who used only black players to win the NCAA tournament in 1966, is the subject of this film starring Josh Lucas and Derek Luke. Sweet but superficial.

Freedomland

Edie Falco may not be as awe-inspiring, but she comes close in her magnetic supporting performance. Falco plays Karen, whose child was kidnapped and who has become the leader of a group that searches for missing kids. Falco just about makes this worth seeing. Almost. Unfortunately, as good as Falco is, that’s how bad Julianne Moore is, and the movie is about her. Moore’s performance is like the place where tics go to pop uppers and drink coffee. As a result, there isn't a believable moment in her performance as a suspicious mother who touches off race riots when she tells cop Samuel L. Jackson that her son was kidnapped in an all-black housing project. Freedomland would like to be Crash-like, but it's contrived and obvious.

Rated: R

Fri: 2.30pm, 7pm, 9.30pm

Big Momma’s House 2

Big Momma's House 2 proves that a fat suit and a dress can cause even a hardened FBI agent to go soft when he moves into the house of a suspected criminal and starts to get close to her children. It also proves that people fall for Martin Lawrence's game of cross-dressing make-believe. Still.

Rated: PG 13
