THE NANNY DIARIES (PG-13) The
Nanny Diaries isn't bad; it’s bland. If
Annie's (Scarlett Johansson) adven
tures are meant to be a satirical look at
the child-rearing of Manhattan’s upper
crust, they tug too much at the heart
strings. Ends Thursday (Beechwood)
NO END IN SIGHT (NR) Director
Charles Ferguson allows the audience
to come up with their own interpreta
tion of the Iraq War and its descent into
guerrilla combat. Ends Thursday (Cin6)
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN; AT
WORLD’S END (PG-13) Captain Jack
(Johnny Depp) has never seemed more
addled than when he is rescued by
Will (Orlando Bloom). Elizabeth (Keira
Knightley) and Barbossa (Geoffrey
Rush). A three-hour behemoth, At
World* End is a clever swashbuckler.
(Georgia Square 5)
THE PRINCESS BRIDE (PG) 1987.
Rob Reiner’s fine film benefits most
from an acidic yet heartwarming script
by William Goldman, who adapted
from his own novel. Westley (Cary
Elwes) risks life and limb to rescue
Buttercup (Robin Wright Penn) from
the evil Prince Humperdinck (Chris
Sarandon). Shows Saturday, 9/22 &
Sunday. 9/23 (Cin6)
RESIDENT EVIL; EXTINCTION (R)
The franchise turns trilogy as Alice
(Mi I la Jovovich) joins a caravan head
ing through Las Vegas. Directed by
Russell Mulcahy (Highlander). Opens
Friday (Beechwood. Carmike)
RETRATO DE TERESA (NR) 1979.
Teresa, a wife, mother, crew leader at a
textile factory, and union leader, feels
stretched too thin. 'When her straying
husband returns, Teresa must decide
between independence and compro
mise in post-revolutionary Cuba.
Shows Wednesday. 9/19 (GMOA)
ROBOTECH; THE SHADOW
CHRONICLES (NR) 2006. Beechwood
is hosting several nights of anime
features, so geeks of Athens (you know
who you are) take heed. The first is the
latest sequel to the classic anime series
from the 1980s. The plot overlaps with
the ending of the original series and
helps to resolve its ambiguous ending,
and great attention to detail ensures
that fans wont be disappointed, and
newbies won’t be entirely lost. Shows
Wednesday. 9/19 (Beechwood)
RUSH HOUR 3 (PG-13) Rush Hour
3 is a pleasant enough diversion that
never achieves the giddy fun of the first
two installments. RH3 places Chris
Tucker's Detective James Carter and
Jackie Chants Chief Inspector Lee in
Paris, where they must bring down
the Chinese Triad. (Carmike); Ends
Thursday (Beechwood)
SHOOT‘EM UP (R) A shotgun blast
that never takes itself seriously, Shoot
'Em Up is a nimble, nihilistic, balletic
ballistics romp from writer-director
Michael Davis. Clive Owen is Smith,
a loner who rips through the lackeys
of hitman Mr. Hertz (Paul Giamatti)
to protect a newborn. With Monica
Bellucci as the lactating prostitute.
Ends Thursday (Beechwood, Carmike)
THE SIMPSONS MOVIE (PG-13)
I can't help but greet the feature ver
sion of this cultural institution with a
single. ‘D'oh!* Most every surreal plot
turn and nonsensical gag are recycled.
Starts Friday (Georgia Square 5)
STARDUST (PG-13) Director Matthew
Vaughn and co-writer Jane Goldman
ably streamline TristranS (Charlie Cox)
quest for fallen star Yvaine (Claire
Danes), while expanding his crusade
to save his true love from the evil witch
(Michelle Pfeiffer). Too bad the film
lacks the star power or the cohesive
marketing campaign to connect with its
audience. Ends Thursday (Carmike)
SUPERBAD (R) The super-raunchy
all-night adventures of best buds and
lovable losers Seth (Michael Cera) and
Evan (Jonah Hill) as they seek beer
and sex was waiting for the ribald,
heartfelt guidance of producer Judd
Apatow, the writer-director of The 40-
Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. Less
cartoonish, more real, and megatons
more nastily funny than American Pie,
Superbadcaptures the life and travails
of the geeky—read normal—high-
school male. (Beechwood, Carmike)
SYDNEY WHITE (PG-13) Another
fairy tale gets a teen makeover as
Amanda Bynes plays a modern Snow
White who bands together with seven
college “dwarves' (not really little
people) to defeat the evil sorority
princess (Sara Paxton). Directed by
Joe Nussbaum (George Lucas in Love).
Opens Friday (Beechwood. Carmike)
SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY
(NR) 2006. Award-winning filmmaker

acclaimed Blissfully Yours and Tropical
Malady (a Palme d’Or nominee) with

a Century. Split in two, Syndromes and
a Century, inspired by his parent's slow
romance, traces the life of a female
doctor circa Weerasethakul^ birth
and retraces that world with the con
temporary tale of a male doctor. Ends
Thursday (Cin6)
THE TEN (R) Former member of The
State' and ‘Stella,' David Wain, sets

up of the Ten Commandments. With

Rudd. Liev Schreiber, Oliver Platt.
Winona Ryder and Jessica Alba. Ends
Thursday (Cin6)

age road movie, Viva Cuba relates the
