{sstar} APOLLO CINEMA PRESENTS: A PROGRAM OF ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATED SHORTS 2005 (Unrated, approximately 100 minutes) -- These eight films (including Alexander Woo's animated, student Academy Award winner for 2004: "Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher") are good, and some just super. The best animated film, also the Oscar winner, is Chris Landreth's "Ryan," a tour-de-force computer-animated portrait of Ryan Larkin, an influential Canadian animator who lives in poverty after struggling with years of drug and alcohol abuse. And two live-action shorts really stand out: Andrea Arnold's Oscar winner, "Wasp," a Mike Leigh-toned drama about a poor single British mother (Nathalie Press) who's determined to jump-start her romantic life; and Taika Waititi and Ainsley Gardiner's stunning "Two Cars, One Night," a New Zealand short featuring three amazing child performers, Rangi Ngamoki, Te Ahiwaru Ngamoki and Hutini Waikato. Contains some violence and obscenity. Cinema Arts Fairfax.

THE AVIATOR (PG-13, 169 minutes) -- Leonardo DiCaprio plays Howard Hughes as a firebrand of chutzpah, derring-do and imagination -- fortified, of course, by millions of dollars -- who becomes a movie mogul, aviation pioneer and, increasingly, a paranoid obsessive struggling with many psychological demons. But he's heroic at every turn: designing, building and personally flying bigger and better aircraft, and refusing to be intimidated by such powerful enemies as Hollywood's film censors, MGM's Louis B. Mayer (Stanley DeSantis), Pan American Airways head Juan Trippe (Alec Baldwin) and the demagogic Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster (Alan Alda). The best moments are the big set pieces with CGI effects, such as Hughes's first-time launching of the oversize flying boat the Spruce Goose out of Long Beach Harbor. But the gee-whiz aspect takes over the human story. We don't much care for, or even have a feeling for, Hughes. Contains sexual scenes, nudity, obscenity and a gruesome crash landing. Area theaters.

{sstar} BAD EDUCATION (NC-17, 109 minutes) -- In this uniquely flavored tribute to film noir, Pedro Almodovar throws in cross-dressing, transsexuality, heroin addiction and ecclesiastical hypocrisy. The result is one of Almodovar's darkest films since the early days of "Law of Desire" and "Matador," and certainly one of his finest. When bearded stranger Angel (Gael Garcia Bernal) visits a filmmaker (Fele Martinez), claiming to be an old school friend (and former lover), the director enters a labyrinth of mysteries and revelations. It's a film full of stories within stories, like a set of Russian nesting dolls. Almodovar gives us his inspired melange of farce and tragedy, taboo slapstick and tender poignancy. And Bernal is a wonder, especially as his transvestite alter ego, Zahara. We're also treated to the lurid trappings of soapy Hollywood melodrama (as in the films of Douglas Sirk), nods to noirish classics like "Laura" and "Fallen Angel," and a full embrace of Grand Guignol. Contains obscenity, sexual scenes, drug use and themes of sexual child abuse. In Spanish with subtitles. Area theaters.

{sstar} BORN INTO BROTHELS (Unrated, 85 minutes) -- British photographer Zana Briski comes to Sonagachi, Calcutta's red light district, and teaches photography to the children of prostitutes. As these boys and girls, who range in age from 10 to 14, learn how to frame pictures, load film and accept Briski's critiques, they also start to see their world differently. And Briski never loses her soft-spoken determination, whether she's teaching the children or trying to steer them through India's unwieldy bureaucracy to get them an education and to a photographic exhibition abroad. The movie, which Briski directed with Ross Kauffman, is really about changing the perspectives of eight children in a hopeless world, and Briski's moral involvement in her subjects' lives. Contains obscenity and footage of a sex trade district. Area theaters.

BRIDE & PREJUDICE (PG-13, 111 minutes) -- Gurinder Chadha, the British-Punjabi filmmaker who made "Bend It Like Beckham," has Bollywoodized Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" into an east-meets-west musical. The lovebirds are headstrong Indian Lalita (Aishwarya Rai) and rich-kid Yank Will (Martin Henderson), who dance romantic rings around each other. The movie's cross-cultural changes from, and similarities to, the novel are intriguing. But in the end, the plot's not so much an Austen-like story as a click track. "Bride & Prejudice" is a we-are-the-world encounter full of colorful ribbons, scarves and saris, and foot-stirring spice-pop. Lalita and Will's sitcom-like jousting lacks the wit and resonance of the conflict between Austen's Elizabeth Bennet and the haughty Mr. Darcy, but the couple certainly engages the eyes. Contains some sexual references. Area theaters.

DOWNFALL (R, 155 minutes) -- Oliver Hirschbiegel's German film is about Adolph Hitler's final days. The movie, set mostly in the Fuehrer's bunker, spends time with Hitler's inner circle of Nazi cohorts, including personal secretary Traudl Junge (whose testimony informed much of this movie), Josef (Ulrich Matthes) and Magda Goebbels (Corinna Harfouch) and their family, and many other architects, direct and indirect, of the Holocaust. The events are historically compelling to watch and yet "Downfall" feels like coldblooded, made-for- television material. The most powerful element is Bruno Ganz's persuasive performance as Hitler, a figure of gentility and irrationality, who speaks with pride of his all-but-eradication of the Jewish people of Europe. The movie does not bring us any closer, however, to a human understanding of Hitler. Of course, that task may be impossible. Contains violence and emotionally harrowing themes. In German with subtitles. Area theaters.

{sstar} HEAD-ON (Unrated, 118 minutes) -- This gritty romantic melodrama, set in the Turkish neighborhoods of Hamburg, is about a marriage of convenience between two violent souls: Cahit (Birol Unel), a drunken widower with a ravaged face whose job consists of picking up detritus in a nightclub, and Sibel (Sibel Kekilli), an eccentric beauty prone to suicide attempts. Director Fatih Akin, a Hamburg-born filmmaker of Turkish heritage imbues this film with a raw emotional urgency that never relents. And no matter what is going on in the story, these star-crossed lovers are always fascinating to watch. Unel's a Turkish Mount Rushmore with a drinking problem. Kekilli, a former porn star, exudes odd-bird poignancy; she's both naif and graduate of the school of hard knocks. They're made for each other, and in this world, that romantic pairing amounts to a blessing. Contains sexual scenes, nudity, obscenity and violence. In Turkish and German with subtitles. Avalon.

IMAGINARY HEROES (R, 117 minutes) -- Sigourney Weaver is Sandy Travis, a jaded mom who has an unusually frank, close relationship with her son Tim (Emile Hirsch). The family has to weather many troubles, most particularly the suicide of son Matt. Hardest hit is Sandy's husband, Ben (Jeff Daniels), who insists on laying a place for Matt at the dinner table. Writer-director Dan Harris's movie is another in a long-standing era of suburban angst films that include "The Ice Storm," "American Beauty," "Welcome to the Dollhouse," "Donnie Darko," "Thirteen" and "Garden State." In these films, dark, wayward and dysfunctional impulses are counterpointed with the faux paradise of suburban America. Harris should be commended for attempting to make a movie about the offbeat and the unusual, except that this subject (or the way it's treated) has become very on-beat and very usual. Contains nudity and graphic obscenity. Regal Gallery Place.

{sstar} THE INCREDIBLES (PG, 115 minutes) -- This Pixar computer- animated family comedy is, well, incredible. And very funny. It's about a family of superheroes, led by big-chinned, red-suited Mr. Incredible (voiced by Craig T. Nelson); his wife, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter); and their precocious, superhero kids. When Mr. Incredible's over-the-top heroics start causing damage and too many lawsuits, the family is forced to hide out as "normal people" under the Superhero Relocation Program. But you can't keep a superheroic family down. Brad Bird, an executive consultant for "The Simpsons," "The Critic" and "King of the Hill," who also made the rather wonderful "Iron Giant," has aced himself. The film brims over with hilarious sight gags and witticisms. Beyond the sophisticated humor, there's something for almost every conceivable viewer. Mom, Dad, daughter and son all get a major bite of the action. Contains some intense action fare. University Mall Theatres.

THE JACKET (R, 103 minutes) -- Psychiatric ward patient Jack Starks (Adrien Brody) finds himself an amnesia victim and stuck in a mental netherworld of past, present and future, the result of a gunshot wound during the Gulf War. Revisiting traumatic scenes from the past, including a New Year's Day shooting, he comes to realize all this mental maneuvering has some bearing on the future of a young woman (Keira Knightley) and her mother (Kelly Lynch). It's time to take action. This would have been a fascinating film if "The Jacket" had decided to go on its own instead of downloading elements from "Jacob's Ladder," "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Memento." Contains violence, obscenity, sexual scenes and nudity. Area theaters.

MAN OF THE HOUSE (PG-13, 97 minutes) -- While not as bad as it could be, this comedy-drama- action-adventure film about a gruff Texas Ranger (Tommy Lee Jones) assigned to protect five air-headed college cheerleaders who have witnessed a murder has a very short list of things that are good about it: the aforementioned Lee, who brings his great poker face to the silly proceedings; Cedric the Entertainer, playing a former cheerleader and felon-turned-preacher; and Anne Archer as the love interest. Each is underutilized in a film that gets most of its comic mileage -- and high ick factor -- out of the sexual tension between nubile coeds and older men. Contains a bit of violence, a couple of vulgarities and some sexual humor. Area theaters. 17dc91bb1f
