17 AGAIN
(Comcast Movies and Events) The latest body-transference comedy stars Zac Efron as a high school kid who grows up to be Matthew Perry, then gets his wish to be Zac Efron again. The star is lightweight and likable, and the movie surrounds him with farcical pros like Leslie Mann and Thomas Lennon (above right, with Efron). (PG-13; runs through Jan. 1) TY BURR

CORALINE
(Comcast Movies and Events) A darkly invigorating stop-motion tour down the rabbit hole of childhood anxieties, courtesy of animator Henry Selick (“The Nightmare Before Christmas’’) by way of Neil Gaiman’s cult novella. Baroque, bonkers, magical, and definitely not for young children. (PG; runs through Jan. 1) TY BURR

DUPLICITY
(Comcast Movies and Events) Fun, oddly relevant. Julia Roberts and Clive Owen play corporate spies who team up to exploit a war between mega-manufacturers for a multimillion-dollar payday. The movie so thoroughly equates sex and money that when it’s over, you don’t care if they love each other. You just want to see them paid. (PG-13; runs through Jan. 31) WESLEY MORRIS
