    Take 2: IRON MAN 3

    Third time not quite the charm for 'Iron Man 3'

    2.5 Stars  “Iron Man 3” is the weakest in the series, and it suffers from confused plotting, flat-footed exposition, and more pure, noisy nonsense than even a comic-book movie should have to put up with.
    'Kon-tiki'

    'Kon-tiki'

    2.5 Stars  This Oscar-nominated Norwegian drama (in English) recreates Thor Heyerdahl’s 1947 crossing of the Pacific on a balsa-wood raft. It’s rousing and epic and undercut by compromises onscreen and off.
    'Bert Stern: Original Madman'

    'Bert Stern: Original Madman'

    3.0 Stars  Stern recorded and defined pop culture and celebrity in the ’50s and ’60s with his photography. That alone would make this documentary a must-see, not to mention the wild details of his life.
    'Renoir'

    'Renoir'

    3.0 Stars  This leisurely-paced drama about the final years of Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir is dramatically trite but visually rapturous.
    'No Place on Earth'

    'No Place on Earth'

    2.0 Stars  In this documentary Janet Tobias tries to tell two stories, but fails to explore the connections between the two narratives, and so does justice to neither.
    'In the House (Dans la mansion)'

    'In the House (Dans la mansion)'

    2.0 Stars  Voyeurism class is in session throughout this latest film from French provocateur Francois Ozon (“Swimming Pool”), though there’s a willful lack of a payoff.
    'Mud'

    'Mud'

    2.5 Stars  After a run of dud Hollywood romantic comedies, Matthew McConaughey has found roles that fit his laconic, down-home persona while straying eccentrically outside it.
    'Pain & Gain'

    'Pain & Gain'

    1.0 Stars  This jokey but fatally tone-deaf true-crime caper, starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, plays like "Fargo" for idiots.
    'Hava Nagila (The Movie)'

    'Hava Nagila (The Movie)'

    3.0 Stars  This short but lively documentary provides an entertaining examination of the song's cultural and historical origins.
    'The Angels' Share'

    'The Angels' Share'

    3.0 Stars  Ken Loach divides his time between familiar hardscrabble territory and a breezier narrative landscape, a hybrid charming enough to satisfy even the trenchant-commentary crowd.
    'The Big Wedding'

    'The Big Wedding'

    1.0 Stars  Quaint and crass get together with awkward, thoroughly flat results in this ensemble comedy with a tonal cluelessness as surprising as the name cast that signed on for it anyway.
    'Oblivion'

    'Oblivion'

    2.5 Stars  “Oblivion” is a lot like its star, Tom Cruise: clean, cold, efficient, increasingly overblown, and not a little inexplicable.
    'Room 237'

    'Room 237'

    3.5 Stars  This documentary is a consideration of Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and what it means to a handful of people who have watched it a lot.
    'The Lords of Salem'

    'The Lords of Salem'

    2.0 Stars  Shock-rocker Rob Zombie injects his familiar brand of trippy horror with some dark local color in this portrait of vengeful occult torment that pushes hard to redefine the meaning of “witch trials.”
