All week

“The Best Man Holiday” (Point, Eastgate, Star Cinema) — “Tron: Legacy” proved you can never have too big a gap between an original film and its sequel, as the 1999 ensemble comedy returns with a holiday edition.

“Blue is the Warmest Color” (Sundance) — My full review is here. This polarizing French film has as many detractors as adorers — some see its three-hour running time and explicit sex scenes as a sign of great art, others as an indulgence and an objectification of women. (I lean towards the former, mostly.)

“Ram Leela” (AMC Star Cinema) — Based loosely on “Romeo and Juliet,” this Bollywood romance has been called a “painting in motion” for its beauty.

Friday

“Millhouse: A White Comedy” (7 p.m., UW Cinematheque, 4070 Vilas Hall) — Sadly, not the feature film debut of Bart Simpson’s hapless classmate, but documentary filmmaker Emile de Antonio’s caustic 1971 look at the career of Richard M. Nixon. FREE!

“Mean Girls” (9:30 p.m, Union South Marquee) — That nice young Lindsay Lohan stars in the Tina Fey-penned comedy about navigating the tricky social waters of high school. FREE!

“Zardoz” (midnight, Union South Marquee) — John Boorman’s unbelievably campy sci-fi film, starring a mustachioed Sean Connery and all kinds of floating-head weirdness, has to be seen to be believed. I mean really, feast your eyes below. FREE!

Saturday

Filmmaker Magazine’s “New Faces of Independent Film” (3 p.m., UW-Cinematheque) — This last-minute addition to the Cinematheque schedule is not to be missed, as the respected Filmmaker magazine brings three up-and-coming short film directors and their work to Madison for a screening and post-show Q&A. FREE!

“The Criminal Code” (7 p.m., UW-Cinematheque) — The “criminal” Hays Code wasn’t in place yet when a young Howard Hawks made this 1931 potboiler, starring Walter Huston as a district attorney who becomes warden at the prison where he sent many criminals. FREE!

“Hard Target” (midnight, Union South Marquee) — Hong Kong action maestro John Woo dipped his toe into Hollywood filmmaking with this Jean Claude Van Damme film. Some good action, especially a shootout in a warehouse full of Mardi Gras floats, but it doesn’t compare to Van Damme’s mind-blowing split for that Volvo commercial. FREE!

Sunday

“JFK” (1:10 p.m., Sundance Cinemas) — Five minutes after you see it, Oliver Stone’s epic conspiracy theory falls apart. But while you’re watching it, it’s a masterpiece of agitprop filmmaking, and if the dots don’t connect, Stone does capture the unease of an America that begins learning not to trust its institutions.

“The Tarnished Angels” (2 p.m., Chazen Museum of Art, 750 University Ave.) — The latest “Cinematheque at the Chazen” entry in its Cinemascope retrospective is Douglas Sirk’s sumptuous 1958 drama about a reporter (Rock Hudson) who gets entangled with a veteran and his wife. FREE!
