CONTINUING
Air Bud
This pallid, by-the-books Disney comedy tells the story of a basket-shooting golden retriever. (PG) Kahala, Kapolei, Keolu, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
Air Force One
Russian dissidents hijack the plane of the U.S. president (Harrison Ford). Ford rises to the occasion and whips the bad guys in two hours of almost unbearable tension. (R) Aikahi, Kapolei, Keolu, Koko Marina, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 3
Conspiracy Theory
Too much plot proves too much for even Mel Gibson's fine job as a mysterious nut case convinced of government conspiracies and Julia Roberts' as a sympathetic lawyer. (R) Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Pearlridge, Pearl West, Restaurant Row, Enchanted Lake
Contact
Carl Sagan's story about intelligence in other worlds challenges the mind and senses. Jodie Foster's intense belief in her work smooths over the few dubious patches. (PG) Kapolei, Kam Drive-In, Keolu, Pearl Highlands, Waikiki 2
Face/Off
A lack of dramatic structure and a sense of when to quit are set off by a provocative premise, virtuoso direction and dazzling performances from Nicolas Cage and John Travolta. (R) Kahala, Kapolei, evenings at Pearl West
Free Willy 3: The Rescue
The third time around, the story has become just a formula. Only the youngest kids will worry whether Willy is ever in danger. (PG) Kahala, Kapolei, Laie, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
George of the Jungle
This airheaded comedy is so filled with slapstick humor, so willing to kid itself, that it adds up to the kind of silly summer fun that gives family entertainment a good name. (PG) Kahala, Kapolei, Keolu, Laie, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
Good Burger
This comedy serves up a hearty helping of fun and wholesome values. The title emporium is a modest fast-food joint which will imminently confront the aptly named Mondo Burger looming up across the street. (PG) Kapolei, Nanakuli, Pearl West
Hercules
Disney's "Hercules" is gorgeous filmmaking and is also full of personality. (G) Matinees at Pearl West,
How to Be a Player
This is like an R-rated version of a bad black sitcom. This farce about a guy with a lot of girls on a string is jammed with every stereotype from eye-rolling to chicken chomping to nothing-but-sex-on-the-brain. (R) Kapolei, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
Men in Black
Funky, fitfully clever goof on the UFO myth of secret government agents who keep track of extraterrestrial visitors. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith fend off an interplanetary menace. (PG-13) Kapolei, Pearl West, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 1
My Best Friend's Wedding
This skewered variation on jealousy stars Julia Roberts who decides, after her best friend becomes engaged to someone else, that he is the man for her. (PG-13) Kahala
Nothing to Lose
This mildly entertaining movie tries hard to be a smart interracial buddy movie, a moralistic family drama and madcap road adventure in one, but it lacks enough humor or action to be much of anything. (R) Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
Operation Condor
Another silly Jackie Chan action flick with silly dubbing, story and acting, but Chan has a flair for the acrobatic fights. (PG-13) Pearl West
Picture Perfect
Jennifer Aniston's limitations as a leading lady are no help to this ineffectual comedy about an ad exec who makes up an engagement in order to further her career. (PG-13) Kailua, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Varsity
The Pillow Book
Director Peter Greenaway weaves sex and text, flesh and literature into a gorgeous, evocative wedding of word and image. (Not rated) Varsity
Spawn
While the high-tech visuals provide on-screen fireworks, there is no suspense, horror, wonder or dramatic surprise underlying them. (PG-13) Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Laie, Mililani, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row, Enchanted Lake
