2016: OBAMA'S AMERICA – This promises to demystify the president but does more to illuminate its filmmaker and his ego. PG for adult themes. 89 mins.
THE APPARITION – A "Paranormal Activity" knockoff with effects as generic as the cookie-cutter mission revival in which it's set. PG-13 for terror/images and sensuality. 82 mins.
THE BOURNE LEGACY — This fourth film in the franchise is really about drug addiction and the lengths to which a junkie will go for his fix. PG-13 for violence and action. 135 mins.
1/2
BRAVE — A beautiful-to-look-at princess story that still feels old-fashioned and safe. PG for action, rude humor. 93 mins.
THE CAMPAIGN – Will Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis in a political face-off. R for language, partial nudity, sexuality. 85 mins.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES – It's neither as anguished, perverse nor dangerous as its weighty predecessor. PG-13 for action violence, sensuality, strong language. 164 mins.
DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS – Summer misadventures beleaguer our boy. PG for rude humor. 94 mins.
THE EXPENDABLES 2 – This is a a too-cute trip down '80s Action Film Lane. R for bloody violence. 101 mins.
1/2

1/2
THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN — A childless couple is mystically granted a test run at parenthood. PG for mild thematic elements and brief language. 104 mins.
PARANORMAN — The frequently wondrous and whimsical visuals far surpass the disappointingly slipshod story of an 11-year-old boy named Norman who can see and speak to the dead. PG for scary action and images, thematic elements, rude humor and language. 92 mins.
PREMIUM RUSH — This is director David Koepp's thrill ride, an enjoyable, two-wheeled action film and flashy ode to the subculture of urban couriers. PG-13 for violence, intense action and language. 91 mins.
SPARKLE — This remake of the 1976 girl-group tale sizzles briefly, but the characters are mostly stiff and inert. Not how we'd like to remember Whitney Houston or welcome Jordin Sparks to the big screen. PG-13 for mature themes involving domestic abuse and drugs, and for violence, language and smoking. 116 mins.
TED – A pot-smoking, four-letter-word-spewing, anthropomorphic teddy bear is front and center. R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language and some drug use. 106 mins.
