ALSO OPENING
ARE WE DONE YET?
In this “Are We There Yet?” sequel, Nick Persons (Ice Cube) falls into his own personal money pit when he and his pregnant wife (Nia Long) and her two kids move to a dream home in the country, which proceeds to fall apart. At multiple locations. (92 min.) PG; brief profanity and sexual innuendo.
FIREHOUSE DOG
After a botched stunt, the pampered canine star of “Jurassic Bark” is presumed dead — but has really been adopted by a single firefighter’s sullen son in this family-friendly tail (oops, make that tale) featuring Bruce Greenwood (“Deja Vu”) and Josh Hutcherson (“Bridge to Terabithia”). At multiple locations. (111 min.) PG; action peril, mild crude humor and profanity.
GRINDHOUSE
Directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez team up for an epic two-in-one tribute to vintage cinematic schlock. Rodriguez’s “Planet Terror” charts a plague that strikes a Texas town, prompting a gunslinger (Freddy Rodriguez) and a go-go dancer with a machine-gun leg (Rose McGowan) to battle back, while in Tarantino’s “Death Proof,” a grizzled stuntman (Kurt Russell) stalks multiple victims with his muscle car. At multiple locations. (191 min.) R; strong graphic bloody violence and gore, pervasive profanity, sexual situations, nudity, drug use.
IN THE PIT
This award-winning portrait of men building a miles-long highway above Mexico’s City’s teeming traffic — and discussing everything from marriage to philosophy — captured last year’s Sundance Film Festival documentary competition. In Spanish with English subtitles. Part of the CineVegas screening series at Neonopolis. (84 min.) NR; profanity.
THE REAPING
A former Christian missionary (double Oscar-winner Hilary Swank) who specializes in debunking miracles agrees to help a teacher (“Basic Instinct 2’s” David Morrissey) whose Louisiana hometown has become the target of eerie biblical-style plagues. Stephen Rea (“V for Vendetta”), Idris Elba (“Daddy’s Little Girls”) and AnnaSophia Robb (“Bridge to Terabithia”) round out the cast of this chiller. At multiple locations. (100 min.) R; violence, disturbing images, sexuality.
