All week

“Need for Speed” (Point, Eastgate, Star Cinema) — Reviews have been all over the map for this action movie — most critics think it’s a loud, dumb videogame adaptation, but some think it’s a genuinely good film, with real (not CGI) stunts and Aaron Paul in an effective lead role.

“The Single Moms’ Club” (Point, Eastgate, Star Cinema) — Is it a good thing or a bad thing if Tyler Perry directs a movie and doesn’t put his name before the title? I don’t think I’ll ever find out.

“Veronica Mars” (Star Cinema) — You wanted it, you Kickstarted it, you got it as the cult TV show gets a big-screen treatment, as Veronica (Kirsten Bell) returns home from law school to investigate a possible murder, with all your favorite characters as suspects.

“Tim’s Vermeer” (Sundance) — My full review is here. Penn & Teller make an unexpected and fascinating documentary about an inventor friend of theirs who became obsessed with Vermeer’s work, and determined to paint a Vermeer himself.

“Better Living Through Chemistry” (Sundance) — My full review is here. The “Sam Rockwell is good in everything” truism is sorely tested in this wan comedy noir, with Rockwell playing a frustrated pharmacist who falls for a scheming housewife (Olivia Wilde).

Saturday

“Walking With Dinosaurs” (10 a.m., Point and Eastgate) — The BBC series was a landmark broadcast, but this attempt to cash-in with a lame kids’ film tanked with old and young alike. Two dollars, though.

Thursday
