CONTINUING
This pallid, by-the-books Disney comedy tells the story of a wondrous basket-shooting golden retriever. (PG) Kahala, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
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) Keolu, Koko Marina, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 1
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) Enchanted Lake, Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
The adaptation of 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) Kam Drive-In, Koko Marina
Although too simplistic in its good-guys-bad-guys approach to morally and emotionally ambiguous material, this is an absorbing, dramatic yarn about exposing the evil doings of some of New York's finest. Stars Sylvester Stallone, Hervey Keitel and Ray Liotta. (R) Aikahi, Cinerama, Kailua, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
A sublimely silly movie, this is a haunted-house story in which the house is a spaceship. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets, with howlers stolen from 1950s sci-fi trash. (R) Enchanted Lake, Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearlridge, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
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, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
A clever yarn about small fries vs. big biz, this comedy serves up a hearty helping of fun and wholesome values. (PG) Pearlridge
Def Jam's "How to Be a Player" 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, Nanakuli, Pearlridge
Funky, fitfully clever goof on the UFO myth of secret government agents who keep track of extraterrestrial visitors. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith team up to fend off a half-coherent interplanetary menace. (PG-13) Kapolei, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
This skewered variation on jealousy stars Julia Roberts, who decides, after her best friend and former lover becomes engaged to someone else, that he is the man for her. Skillfully engaging. (PG-13) Kahala
This mildly entertaining movie tries too hard to be too many things: a smart interracial buddy movie, a moralistic family drama and a madcap road adventure. However, it lacks enough wild humor or exciting action to be much of anything. (R) Kapolei, Pearl West
Jackie Chan's Hong Kong-made action flick has silly dubbing as well as story and acting, but Chan has a flair for the acrobatic fights. (PG-13) Pearl West
Jennifer Aniston's limitations as a leading lady are no help to this ineffectual comedy about an ad exec who makes up an engagement to a man in order to further her career. (PG-13) Kailua, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Varsity
This evocative wedding of word and image follows the story of Nagiko (Vivian Wu), who served as the paper when her father painted calligraphy upon her as a birthday treat. She grows up to become the pen, illustrating the human body as a text. (Not rated) Varsity
While the high-tech visuals of this moodily malevolent fantasy provide plenty of on-screen fireworks, there is no suspense, horror, wonder or dramatic surprise underlying them. (PG-13) Kahala, Kailua, Kapolei, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
Based on the comic book hero, this movie generates little excitement or tension. Star Shaquille O'Neal seems ungainly in the action sequences; the plot lacks sharpness and the showdown fails to dispose of the villain in a satisfying manner. (PG-13) Kapolei, Nanakuli, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
