A pound-for-pound pleasure
In “A Matter of Size,’’ four Israeli friends of a certain weight become amateur sumo wrestlers. Lightly directed by Erez Tadmor and Sharon Maymon from a script Maymon wrote with Danny Cohen-Solal, this is a sweet, enjoyable — if limited and episodic — “when life gives you lemons’’ sort of a movie. The lemon in this case is a body-mass ...
Body parts, collected by hacks
The body organs cost an arm and a leg, but life in “Repo Men’’ is cheap. This is the sort of science fiction that opts for scissors to the groin or a bullet to the head rather than a complete thought. It’s much easier for the filmmakers — Miguel Sapochink directed from a script by Eric Garcia and Garrett Lerner ...
Swedish thriller ‘Dragon Tattoo’ delivers the goods
It’s easy to forget how dissatisfying so much Hollywood trash is until you see a good imported version. “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ’’ arrives from Sweden, having conquered Europe with a shameless instinct for the mass appeal of murder-mystery violence. If a film is going to subject us to characters who are beaten up and pinioned, it should ...
‘Bounty Hunter’ is one that got away
As the American romantic comedy continues its spiral around the toilet bowl of the Hollywood imagination, “The Bounty Hunter,’’ starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, raises a few questions. Why, for one, is it called “The Bounty Hunter’’? Was Ridley Scott supposed to direct? Does Columbia Pictures know that a reality-television program with a similar name already exists on A&E? ...
Remember Me
All the sulking and moping and lashing out that Robert Pattinson does in “Remember Me’’ is pointless. He’s supposed to be playing Tyler, a 21-year-old NYU undergrad who hates daddy. He’s like Luke Perry doing James Dean in the dreariest John Hughes movie ever made: “Some Kind of Terrible.’’ Pattinson gets to share a bed and some unfortunate dialogue with ...

Unrivaled
Everything's on the line for a world-weary cage fighter (Hector Echavarria) when he gets the chance to prove his mettle in the ring against a mixed martial arts world champion.

Astro Boy
Astro Boy (voiced by Freddie Highmore), a young robot created by Dr. Tenma (Nicolas Cage), embarks on a dangerous odyssey, navigating unknown territory in search of purpose before returning home to save his loved ones. Metro City is desperately in need of a hero who has extraordinary superpowers like x-ray vision, remarkable speed and the ability to fly in this sci-fi anime based on Osamu Tezuka's manga.
Bandslam
Social outcast Will (Gaelan Connell) doesn't know what to think when the popular Charlotte (Alyson Michalka) asks him to manage her fledgling rock group. But agreeing to help her win the school's upcoming battle of the bands turns out to be one of the best decisions he's ever made. For one thing, it's brought him closer to Sam (Vanessa Hudgens), a girl who shares Will's passion for music but doesn't realize how talented she is.
Caillou: Caillou Pretends to Be...
Four-year-old Caillou loves to explore the world around him, whether he's helping direct traffic or playing a game of croquet. This collection of episodes from the popular PBS kids' series features a blend of animation, live action and puppetry. Caillou also attends his first wedding, spends time at a construction site, and steps into the shoes of a boat captain, a pilot, an astronaut and even a superhero.

But to thwart the baddies, the gang will have to face a slew of menacing monsters. Full of surprising twists and turns -- not to mention the goofy antics of everybody's favorite cowardly canine -- this animated adventure delivers a spine-tingling blend of magic and mystery.
