“ROMAN DE GARE”
(To be reviewed tomorrow)
Running:
“BEFORE THE RAINS” ½
Breathtaking panoramas of southern India and cinematic strokes of artistry fill “Before the Rains.” For all its loveliness and attempts to be profound, this film is as predictable as a soap opera, albeit in a colonial setting. It is saved by its beauty and well-etched performances. (Beth Wood) Rated PG-13; 1 hr., 38 min.
“THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN”
The sequel to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” kicks everything up a notch. The fight scenes are more intense, punctuated with marvelous special effects – giant birds that carry warriors into battle, thundering hordes of sinister soldiers and more than enough nobility to assure you that this is definitely a just war between good and evil. And the violence is sanitized enough to keep the PG rating. (Sandi Dolbee) Rated PG; 2 hr., 20 min.
“SON OF RAMBOW” ½
An unlikely friendship blossoms between two boys who attempt to re-create “Rambo: First Blood” for a BBC video project. Writer-director Garth Jennings depicts 1980s childhood through the earth-toned lens of a 1950s memoir, and he somehow manages to juggle a half-dozen other styles along the way. (Zachary Woodruff) Rated PG-13; 1 hr., 36 min.
