Movies still playing in the Fredericksburg area Date published: 11/12/2009
HH "ASTRO BOY" (PG) Children will enjoy this remake of the old cartoon, with action that keeps the story moving as a robot boy tries to impress his scientist father and save the world. Rated PG for some action and peril, and brief mild language. [M] HH "CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE'S ASSISTANT" (PG-13) This is a sweet sort of vampire story aimed at the younger set, a tale of a "good" vampire who makes a young boy a half-vampire--and his apprentice. Blood and violence is minimized, but there's enough to keep this off limits from those under 13. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense supernatural violence and action, disturbing images, thematic elements and some language. [RF] HH "COUPLES RETREAT" (PG-13) Thank goodness for Vince Vaughn and the gorgeous island paradise where the film is shot. Those two things just barely nudge this movie, about couples forced into spouse therapy at a resort, into the worth-seeing category in a film that should be funnier. Rated PG-13 on appeal for sexual content and language. [RF, M] HH "LAW ABIDING CITIZEN" (R) A thriller about a man failed by the legal system becomes just another film about a crazed guy blowing stuff up. Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx are wasted in roles that move them from a brutal murder to a father's high-tech revenge. Rated R for strong bloody, brutal violence and torture, a scene of rape and pervasive language. [RF, M] HH "MICHAEL JACKSON'S THIS IS IT" (PG) Die-hard Jackson fans will love this look at him getting ready for a hopefully career-reviving string of concerts. But there's something inherently sad about this whole project--largely because it captures Jackson preparing for a show that never got to happen. It's also practice, and not a performance, with Jackson saving his voice. Rated PG for some suggestive choreography and scary images. 111 min. [RF, RA, M]
