3:10 TO YUMA: Christian Bale plays an Easterner who lost a leg in the Civil War and has now come to the Arizona territory to try ranching.  Russell Crowe plays the vicious leader of a gang feared in the territory.  Almost by unlucky fate, the rancher joins a posse to bring the killer to a nearby town where he will be taken by train to prison.  Splendid dialogue and acting, also by Peter Fonda, Ben Foster and Gretchen Mol, restore the wounded heart of the Western and return it to its glory days.  Directed by James Mangold (“Walk the Line”).

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE: Here is a bold, beautiful, visually enchanting musical where we walk INTO  the theater humming the songs. Julie Taymor\'s  "Across the Universe" is an audacious marriage of cutting-edge visual techniques, heartwarming performances, 1960s history and the Beatles songbook. With Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther and T.V. Carpio, who sings "I Want to Hold Your Hand," and I realized how wrong I was to ever think that was a happy song. It\'s not happy if it\'s a hand you are never, ever going to hold. Lurking here and there: Bono, Eddie Izzard and Joe Cocker. (PG-13) HHHH – RE

THE DARJEELING LIMITED: Three brothers have a reunion in India and take a strange and eccentric train journey in search of themselves, enlightenment, their mother, and certain obscure over-the-counter remedies guaranteed to cure sobriety.  Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman star in a laid-back human comedy that meanders so persuasively, it gets us meandering right along.  With Amara Karan as a seductive train stewardess and Wally Wolodarsky as Wilson’s employee, who issues laminated daily schedules from his office in the baggage car.  Directed by Wes Anderson (“Rushmore,” “The Royal Tenenbaums”).

EASTERN PROMISES: One of David Cronenberg’s finest films with Viggo Mortensen as a driver for the Russian Mafia in London, and Naomi Watts as a midwife determined to protect the life of a newborn infant.  A diary leads her to the sealed world of the Russians, led by Armin Mueller-Stahl as the patriarch and Vincent Cassel as his son; the result isn’t exactly a crime story, but a thriller about human nature.  Scenes of startling violence.

ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE: Weighed down by its splendor.  There are scenes where the costumes are so sumptuous, the sets so vast, the music so insistent, that we lose sight of the humans behind the dazzle of the production.  But Cate Blanchett is magnificently regal in the title role, and Clive Owen plays a romantic, swashbuckling, if historically inaccurate, Sir Walter Raleigh.  Directed by Shekhar Kapur, who also made the much better “Elizabeth” (1998).

THE HEARTBREAK KID: Farrelly brothers remake of Elaine May’s splendid 1972 comedy is sunk by vulgarity that breaks the fabric of the characters.  Ben Stiller and Malin Akerman play newlyweds who turn out to be spectacularly incompatible, while he falls in love with a babe (Michelle Monaghan) he meets on the beach.  The transgressive material is badly judged, and the characters become unpleasant not only to each other, but to us.

THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB: Six members of a book club read Jane Austen’s six novels over six months of their lives, in a wise and witty romantic comedy where Austen sometimes seems to be advising them.  You don’t need to have read the books to enjoy the movie (but you may want to afterward).  With Kathy Baker, Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Amy Brenneman, Hugh Dancy, Maggie Grace, Lynn Redgrave and Jimmy Smits.

THE KINGDOM: “The Kingdom” is one of many movies in the ever growing “boy the Middle East sucks” genre that’s taken over theaters since it became clear to most of the country that the war on terror isn’t going to be easily won.  But director Peter Berg’s film is more than just another face in the crowd.  It’s by far the best of that depressing, sand-soaked group; mixing action and intentionally obvious political relevance together in a movie that’s part police procedural, part military action, and all smarts.  Stars Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner.

NO END IN SIGHT: A documentary featuring devastating testimony from men and women who had top government or military jobs, had responsibility in Iraq or Washington, implemented policy, filed reports, labored faithfully in the service of U.S. foreign policy, and then left the government.  Some jumped, some were pushed.  They all feel disillusioned about the way the White House stubbornly refused to listen to their advice.  All the more powerful because they are not anti-war activists or sitting ducks for Michael Moore, but people who were important to the Bush administration.

WE OWN THE NIGHT: Joaquin Phoenix plays a Brooklyn nightclub manager who has changed his name to conceal his relationship with his father, the district police chief (Robert Duvall), and his brother, a top cop (Mark Wahlberg).  But now a war is starting between the cops and the Russian gangsters who own the club and control the drug trade.  Which side is Phoenix on?  Eva Mendes supplies an interesting dimension as a girlfriend who really loves and cares for him, and isn’t just another bimbo turncoat.  The material isn’t original, and the plot has some holes in it, but it’s atmospheric and well-acted.  Written and directed by James Gray (“Little Odessa,” “The Yards”).
