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, Kailua, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
The adaptation of Carl Sagan's story about intelligence in other worlds challenges the mind and
senses. (PG) Koko Marina
Although too simplistic in its good-guys-bad-guys approach to morally and emotionally ambiguous material, this is an absorbing and dramatic yarn about exposing the evil doings of some of New York's finest. Sylvester Stallone, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, do the expected fine job. (R) Cinerama, Kapolei, Keolu, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
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. (R) Kahala, Kapolei, Pearl West
Alicia Silverstone plays an heiress who fakes her own kidnapping to get her uncaring father to notice her. Along the way, she is kidnapped for real by a car thief (Benicio Del Toro). (PG) Kapolei, Keolu, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row, Varsity
This airheaded comedy is so filled with slapstick humor, so willing to kid itself, that it adds up to the kind of fun that gives family entertainment a good name. (PG) Kahala, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West

The movie about gangster Dutch Schultz's (Tim Roth) battle with "Bumpy" Johnson (Laurence Fishburne) over the Harlem lottery racket attempts to be simultaneously pro-self-determination and anti-crime. (R) Kailua, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
Def Jam's "How to Be a Player" is like an R-rated version of a bad black sitcom. (R) Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
A campy "Conan" follow-up with several genuine good laughs - and far too many badly staged swordfights. (PG-13) Aikahi, Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Laie, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
This remake of a television icon is one terrible movie. I (PG) Kahala, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West
Funky, fitfully clever spoof on the UFO myth of secret government agents who keep track of extraterrestrial visitors. (PG-13) Aikahi, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Pearl West
Danger lurks in every corner in this story of mutant cockroaches, supersize, human-like and super-gooey. Stars Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam hold their own. (R) Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 2
Chris Tucker and Charlie Sheen star in a by-the-books buddy movie enlivened by Tucker. (R) Enchanted Lake, Kahala, Kapolei, Mililani, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row
This midly entertaining movie tries too hard to be too many things but lacks enough wild humor or exciting action to be much of anything. (R) Kapolei, 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. (PG-13) Laie, Pearl Highlands
Masayuki Suo's delightful comedy follows its Everyman hero as he discovers his great love - dancing. The performances have an unexpected poignancy. (PG) Varsity
Sean Penn, Robin Wright Penn and John Travolta bring strong performances to this brutally honest study of relationships among some pretty unlikable characters. (R) Kahala
Greg Kinnear and Lauren Holly star in a tasteless comedy about infertility. (R) Kapolei
While high-tech visuals provide plenty of on-screen fireworks, there is no suspense, horror, wonder or dramatic surprise underlying them. (PG-13) Kapolei
