    'The Hangover Part III'

    ‘Hangover III’ leaves a searing headache

    1.5 Stars  “The Hangover Part III” doesn’t bother to Xerox the original 2009 hit, as 2011’s witless “Hangover 2” did. Instead, it heads in different, if utterly formulaic, directions. So it’s not terrible. It’s just bad.
    'Cleopatra'

    'Cleopatra'

    2.0 Stars  It’s never a good sign when a movie is most famous for what happened off screen, and “Cleopatra” may be the all-time champ of off-screen famousness.
    'Star Trek'

    'Star Trek Into Darkness'

    3.5 Stars  That the new movie expertly, exhilaratingly convinces us that 2009’s “Star Trek” wasn’t a fluke is a mark of director J.J. Abrams’s uncanny ease with modern Hollywood formulas.
    'The Iceman'

    'The Iceman'

    2.0 Stars  Michael Shannon stars in the true story (more or less) of a New Jersey mob hit man who murdered anywhere from 100 to 250 people while building a suburban home life. It’s a fascinating subject but the movie blows it.
    'Sightseers'

    'Sightseers'

    3.0 Stars  This is a low-budget lark about a homicidal couple on vacation. Darkly funny as it is, the movie has undercurrents of genuine and very British weirdness. It doesn’t add up to much, but it doesn’t really need to.
    'Stories We Tell'

    'Stories We Tell'

    3.5 Stars  Is it possible to be anything but subjective when it comes to our families and their stories? This is the endlessly complicated subject of Sarah Polley’s dazzling, multi-leveled documentary.
    'Black Rock'

    'Black Rock'

    2.0 Stars  Husband-wife team of Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton team up for this backwoods survival thriller set in Maine. Their foray into genre work is unexpectedly sturdy in some ways, shaky in others.
    'The Great Gatsby'

    'The Great Gatsby'

    2.5 Stars  Baz Luhrmann delivers in the movie’s opening hour, but over-length, a swooningly indulged love story, and a fatuous Tobey Maguire bring it low.
    'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'

    'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'

    2.5 Stars  A quiet character study on the page has been given a high-stakes political-thriller frame, and not for the best.
    'The Source Family'

    'The Source Family'

    3.0 Stars  The ’70s saw its share of spiritual gurus, and Jim Baker both epitomized and transcended the stereotype. It rises above the preconceptions in this bracing documentary.
    'Peeples'

    'Peeples'

    2.5 Stars  This is the best bet among current comedies. It may at times lapse into dubious taste -- what comedy these days doesn't? -- but its spunk and soft touch with racial and cultural issues prevail.
    'Iron Man 3'

    'Iron Man 3'

    2.5 Stars  This 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.
