Plus and early screening of Terminator Salvation

By Volcano Staff on May 14, 2009

ANGELS & DEMONS: In adapting another of author Dan Brown's religious-mystery page turners, Ron Howard wisely gave in to its beat-the-clock thriller elements, which makes for a more enjoyable summer-movie experience. But its twists, turns and revelations are just as ridiculous as those in "The Da Vinci Code" — perhaps even more so. (PG-13) Three Stars — Michael Swan


DANCE FLICK: Early opening. (PG-13)


EVERLASTING MOMENTS: The story, beginning in 1911, of a Swedish woman who raised seven children in poverty, who has a husband who is kind when sober but frightening when drunk, and whose idea of herself is transformed when she begins to take photographs.  A beautifully told story of striving and of the varieties of love.  By the great director Jan Troell. (NR) Four stars – Roger Ebert


NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE OF THE SMITHSONIAN: Early opening. (PG)


SIN NOMBRE: The interlocking stories of a young woman from Honduras and a young man from southern Mexico, who meet while riding on the roof of a freight car on their long journey to the U.S. border.  The trip is forged in hell, but the film also finds room for beauty and romance.  Winner of the awards for best direction (Cary Fukunaga) and cinematography at Sundance 2009. (R) Four stars – RE


TERMINATOR SALVATION: Early opening.  See review next week. (PG-13)
