On the screen
BABYLON A.D. — Vin Diesel and Michelle Yeoh join forces for this post-apocalyptic, science fiction-thriller. To be reviewed next week, running time: 90 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, sex)
COLLEGE — This comedy looks at high school students preparing for a university education. To be reviewed next week, running time: 94 minutes, R (vulgarity, sex, nudity, profanity, drugs)
DISASTER MOVIE — The creators of "Meet the Spartans" return with this comedy spoofing some of this summer's biggest hits. To be reviewed next week, running time: 90 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, sex, profanity, drugs, violence)
ELEGY — ***— Ben Kingsley is part of a rock-solid acting ensemble that makes this faulty drama better than it should be. Running time: 108 minutes, R (sex, nudity, profanity, vulgarity, slurs)
THE LAST MISTRESS — **— Asia Argento is easily the best thing in this rather talky (and somewhat explicit), period drama. French with subtitles, complete review on Page W6, running time: 115 minutes, not rated, probable R (sex, nudity, vulgarity, brief gore, violence, mild profanity, slurs, brief drugs)
MAN ON WIRE — *** 1/2— A fascinating documentary feature that examines the 1974 "artistic crime of the century." French with subtitles, complete review on Page W4, running time: 94 minutes, PG-13 (violence, brief drugs, vulgarity, brief nudity, brief sex)
TRAITOR — **— Even the film's usually dependable star, Don Cheadle, seems bored by this silly terrorist thriller. Opened Wednesday, running time: 114 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, torture, brief gore, slurs, vulgarity)
MIDNIGHT MOVIE
THE GOONIES — ** 1/2— This 1985 teen adventure has some exciting moments, but it's much too long and sometimes too violent. Running time: 111 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity) (Tonight and Saturday: Tower)
