    'X-Files: I Want to Believe'

    'X-Files' sequel lacks thrills

    1.5 Stars  "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" is less like an episode of "The X-Files" and more like the trashiest installment ever of "Law & Order: SVU."

    'Step Brothers'

    'Step Brothers'

    2.5 Stars  The movie, directed by Ferrell's "Funny or Die" web partner Adam McKay, is crudely funny, which means that sometimes it's crudely hilarious and more often it's just crude.
    Review
    'The Dark Knight'

    'The Dark Knight'

    3.0 Stars  Two hours and 32 minutes long, the movie is grimly magisterial. The late Heath Ledger's Joker brings a twisted smile to a brooding Batman sequel.
    Review
    Mamma Mia!

    'Mamma Mia!'

    3.5 Stars  The movie takes the ABBA jukebox musical that ate London, and is still eating Broadway, and turns it into a surprisingly sensuous experience.
    Review
    'The Wackness'

    'The Wackness'

    2.5 Stars  The film runs along the track of many earlier coming-of-age dramas, with appointed station stops at Cynicism, Puppy Love, Puppy Sex, Puppy Heartbreak, and Greater Wisdom.
    Review
    'Hellboy II'

    'Hellboy II: The Golden Army'

    3.0 Stars  Of all the comic book movies that have spun out of theaters this long and pulpy summer, Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" is the most unapologetically comic book-y.
    Review
    'Journey to the Center of the Earth'

    'Journey to the Center of the Earth'

    2.5 Stars  The new film is the latest movie to try to take 3-D technology mainstream. And it's perfectly engaging in a low-rent Saturday-matinee way.
    Review
    Will Smith stars in 'Hancock'

    'Hancock'

    2.0 Stars  In this superhero comedy, weaknesses outweigh strengths. Will Smith (left) plays an often-inebriated, misanthropic hero who is as unreliable as he is powerful.
