Opening Friday
FILTH AND WISDOM — ♥♥
(No industry rating) Madonna's directing debut is a pointless exercise in ''shocking'' behavior, involving characters in London so shallow that the most sympathetic is the lecherous Indian dentist (Inder Manocha) who is supposed to be a villain, maybe. The hero is A.K. (Eugene Hutz), a rock singer who moonlights as a male dominator. He is flatmates with Holly (Holly Weston) and Juliette (Vicky McClure), and also their unpaid adviser, who steers Holly into stripping at a lap-dance sleaze pit. Ugh. 1 hour, 21 minutes.
Cedar Lee

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: SENIOR YEAR — No star rating

PRIDE AND GLORY — ♥♥1/2
(R — strong violence, pervasive language, brief drug content) Follows the formulas of countless police dramas before it: A drug deal gone bad, corruption on the force, brother against brother, alcoholic dad who is both their father and their superior officer, one dying wife, another who is fed up.

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED — ♥♥♥1/2
(R — brief sexuality, profanity) Jonathan Demme's film begins with one woman, a recovering addict (Anne Hathaway), arriving for the wedding of her sister (Rosemarie DeWitt). Then it embraces the entire wedding party and, in a way, the wedding itself, and the ideal of extended family is the subject of the film. A dramatic plot, yes, but also a warm and joyous occasion, despite the hurdles many weddings have to clear. 1 hour, 54 minutes.
Cedar Lee

BURN AFTER READING — ♥♥♥
(R — pervasive language, some sexual content and violence) The Coen brothers' screwball comedy that occasionally becomes something more.
