Friday's Movie Guide (Just a bit late!)

Sorry, it's late again!
****************************************

New releases this week
Click on the film's title to read a full review.
Ocean's Thirteen
Slick, amusing, but vapid and tired threequel shows a great deal of craft invested in an unworthy project.
Surf's Up
Framed as a documentary, this film of surfing penguins has some winning things to say about winning.
Hostel: Part II
Sequel to the super-violent Hostel is more gruesome and fetish-filled, but tells virtually the same story.
Paris, Je T'Aime
Paris couldn't have asked for a more sweetly jaundiced love letter than this collection of tales by 21 directors.
Day Watch
Part two of this trilogy is a highly-caffeinated assault on our senses that ups the ante on action and effects.
Disappearances
After a freak fire, a farmer returns to bootlegging in this lovingly handmade but frustratingly disjunctive tale.
