BE KIND REWIND: After every tape in a VHS rental store is inadvertently erased, Jack Black and Mos Def don’t want the store owner (Danny Glover) to find out.  So they set to work to “re-enact” the films in low-tech home movies.  I felt positive and genial while watching it, but I didn’t break out in paroxysms of laughter.  Written and directed by the usually more brilliant Michel Gondry.

(R) Three stars – RE
Galaxy Tacoma 6: 12:40, 3, 5:20, 7:40, 10.

CLOVERFIELD: Six yuppies flee from a towering monster that is destroying Manhattan; one of them carries a video camera, and the entire movie is shot “queasy-cam” style.  Undeniably scary, especially in the first 45 minutes when we don’t know quite what is causing the crisis.  Produced by J.J.

JUMPER: Hayden Christensen can “jump” anywhere anytime. Samuel L. Jackson wants to kill him. In Giza and New York and London and Paris and Rome and Tokyo and Ann Arbor. There are no rules.

JUNO: Very smart, very funny and then very touching; it begins with the pacing of a screwball comedy and ends as a portrait of characters we have come to love.  Ellen Page in an Oscar-worthy performance as a pregnant 16-year-old who decides to keep the child.  With J.K.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD: Daniel Day-Lewis in a virtuoso performance as an obsessed loner, starting with nothing and becoming a California oil tycoon in a life dominated by greed, duplicity, hatred and loneliness.  Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic is ambitious and relentless as the study of a human monster.  Magnificent visuals created by cinematographer Robert Elswit and set designer Jack Fisk.  A debatable ending, and the film’s reach exceeds its grasp, which is not a dishonorable thing.

UNTRACEABLE: “Untraceable” is a horrifying thriller, smart and merciless.  A psychopath devises ways to slowly kill people online, in live streaming video.  The more hits he gets, the further the process continues, until finally his captive is dead.  On his trail: Diane Lane as the head of the Portland Cyber Crimes unit, Colin Hanks as her partner and Billy Burke as a Portland detective.  Well made and acted; a sadistic nightmare. (R) Three stars – RE
