AT THE MOVIES


FRIDAY, JANUARY 25,2008, News-Leader


 COMING TUESDAY

The Invasion
 (Sci fi horror. PG-13. 95 m.. 2007)
 The fourth, and the least, of
the movies made from Jack
Finney's classic science fiction
novel "The Body Snatchers."
Here is a great story born to be
creepy, and the movie churns
through it like a road company
production. If the first three
movies served as parables for
their times, this one keeps shoot-
ing off parable rockets that fizzle
out. Nicole Kidman stars as a
mom fighting off alien spores for
herself and her son, Daniel Craig
is her current squeeze, Jeremy
Northam her ominous ex-hus-
band, Jeffrey Wright the brilliant
scientist who solves everything in
two concise speeches, and
Jackson Bond is Kidman's young
son. The actors do what they can
with a plot that we concede must
be implausible but does not nec-
essarily have to upstage the Mad
magazine version. Rating: **
RocketScence
 (Comedy. R.101m.. 2007)
 Light-hearted, smart high
school comedy beginning when a
debate champ freezes on stage
and his pretty partner (Anna
Kendrick) chooses a stuttering
nerd (Reece Daniel Thompson)
as his replacement. The director,
Jeffrey Blitz, obviously learned a
lot about teenage insecurity from
his first film, the Oscar-nominated
"Spellbound" (2002), about the
National Spelling Bee. A lot better

than your average high school
comedy. Rating: *** '
Daddy Day Camp
 (Comedy. PG. 93m.. 2007)
 Cuba Gooding Jr. steps into
 Eddie Murphy's role in this mis-
 guided sequel to "Daddy Day
 Care" and makes a film choice
 that demeans his obvious acting
 ability. The acting is atrocious.
 Rating: 'A (Bill Zwecker)
 OUT NOW

 Mr.Woodcock
 (Comedy. PG-13. 87m.. 2007)
 Billy Bob Thornton in full "Bad
 Santa" mode in an uneasy come-
 dy about an adult (Seann William
 Scott) who returns home to dis-
 cover his mother (Susan Saran-
 don) is planning to marry the gym
 teacher (Thornton) who made his
 high school days a living hell.
 Thornton makes no compromises
 and takes no prisoners when he
 plays Woodcock. He's a hateful
 jerk. That makes the movie bet-
 ter, actually, than if we sensed a
 heart of gold. Rating: ***
 310 toYuma
 (Western. R. 117m.. 2007)
 Christian Bale plays an
 Easterner who lost a leg in the
 Civil War and has now come to
 the.Arizona territory to try ranch-
 ing. Russell Crowe plays the
 vicious leader of a gang feared in
 the territory. Almost by unlucky
 fate, the rancher joins a posse to
 bring the killer to a nearby town
 where he will be taken by train to
. prison. Splendid dialogue and
acting, also by Peter Fonda, Ben
Foster and Gretchen Mol, restore
the wounded heart of the
Western and return it to its glory
days. Directed by James
Mangold ("Walk the Line").
Rating: ****
