AT MOVIES 6:
“Hancock:” A hard-living superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public enters into a questionable relationship with the wife of the public relations professional who’s trying to repair his image. Starring are Will Smith as John Hancock, along with Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman. (PG-13)
“Wanted:” Based upon Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by the visualist director Timur Bekmambetov — creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the “Night Watch” series — “Wanted” tells the story of one invisible drone’s transformation into a dark avenger. Starring are Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman. (R: for strong bloody violence throughout, pervasive language and some sexuality)
“Get Smart:” Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) is on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination by the evil crime syndicate known as KAOS. When the headquarters of U.S. spy agency Control is attacked and the identities of its agents compromised, the chief (Alan Arkin) has no choice but to promote his eager analyst Maxwell Smart, who has always dreamed of working in the field alongside stalwart superstar Agent 23 (Dwayne Johnson). Smart is partnered instead with the lovely-but-lethal veteran Agent 99 (Anne Hathaway). Given little field experience and even less time, Smart — armed with nothing but a few spy-tech gadgets and his unbridled enthusiasm — must thwart the doomsday plans of KAOS head Siegfried (Terance Stamp). (PG-13: for some rude humor, action violence and language)
“The Happening:” Mark Wahlberg plays a man who takes his family on the run when the world turns upside down and a cataclysmic natural crisis threatens to end the world. Also starring are Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo. Director is M. Night Shyamalan. (R: for violent and disturbing images)
“Kung Fu Panda:” Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around ... which doesn’t exactly come in handy while working in his family’s noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po’s dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it’s up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Featuring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and more. (PG: for sequences of martial arts action)
