Tom Cruise takes on Axl Rose in 'Rock of Ages'

  This star-studded adaptation of the musical alternates plastic bombast with moments of comic invention: It’s karaoke night on a Hollywood budget.

'Prometheus'

  It’s officially an "Alien" prequel but it feels like a remake: We’ve been here before, with lesser technology but more purpose.

'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted'

  Cascading, colorful 3-D sequences are sufficiently dazzling that you may forgive an act wasted on convoluted setup, and those relentless circus-afro ads.

'Nobody Else But You'

  What if Marilyn Monroe had never made it out of the sticks? That oddly inspired notion is explored in a playful French meta-mystery that’s occasionally too proud of its own cleverness.

'Bel Ami'

  If Robert Pattinson faces an uphill battle to prove his relevance and range as an actor, this adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s 1885 novel stands as an acceptable career move.

• Find showtimes and theaters

'Peace, Love & Misunderstanding'

  This is a limp culture-clash comedy with a heart of patchouli. Shallowly written and unevenly directed, it’s crystals and smugness all the way.

• Find showtimes and theaters

'Hysteria'

  Somewhere there’s a cheekily illuminating cultural comedy about a trussed-up society racked by urges it doesn’t dare name. So why does director Tanya Wexler insist on stamping it out with moralizing?

• Find showtimes and theaters

'Beyond the Black Rainbow'

  This has a doomy, dreamy, druggy, draggy feel that’s impressively sustained — until it becomes oppressive, then pointless, then laughable.

• Find showtimes and theaters

'We Still Live Here'

  This modest documentary focuses on an immodest achievement. One woman resuscitating a tribe’s spoken language, which for many decades had survived only in written form.

'Moonrise Kingdom'

  Wes Anderson directed and cowrote the movie with Roman Coppola, and it feels utterly real, vividly dreamt, and totally remembered.

  This just feels like it was made from the pieces of every fantasy-action movie ever made.

'The Intouchables'

  The white people flatter and spoil and humor the black caretaker. America has a racial guilt problem. France’s might be more insidious.

'Men in Black 3'

  For all the millions of dollars spent on digital astonishments, the most uncanny special effect is Josh Brolin as the young Tommy Lee Jones.

'The Dictator'

  The despot here is a tall, fit, flamboyantly bearded North African goofball (Sacha Baron Cohen) who winds up working in a Brooklyn food co-op.

'Battleship'

  If you’re going to make a movie based on a board game, you’ve got to fill two hours with something. If only there were more genuine rah-rah fun, instead of seen-it-all-before mayhem.
