Big Night

A feast of a story that explores questions of family, artistry, religion, romance and more. (R) At Cinerama.

An enjoyable good-natured kids' movie, fast-paced and full of hokey hockey action. (PG) At Kapolei, Pearlridge.

Dear God

This literate and eerie chiller stars Val Kilmer as 19th-century British engineer wrestling with the possibility that two marauding lions could be the embodiment of evil. (R) At Kapolei, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row.

The Glimmer Man

For a rock 'em, sock 'em action thriller, this Steven Seagal vehicle is hopelessly slow-moving. (R) At Kapolei, Pearlridge.

High School High

Though loaded with pratfalls, sight gags and an out-of-it hero (Jon Lovitz), "High School High" fails because it doesn't get its own joke. (PG-13) At Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Laie, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row.

Larger Than Life

Bill Murray stars in another road-trip movie, but this time his companion is an elephant. (PG) At Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Laie, Marina, Mililani, Nanakuli, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row.

The Long Kiss Goodnight

This gawky, relentlessly earnest movie works, thanks to stars from Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. (R) At Kapolei, Mililani, Pearlridge West, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 2.

Michael Collins
