A new star and director fail to give the fourth film in the series enough freshness to keep it exciting.

New on the shelf: ‘Detention’ / ‘LOL’ / ‘Hatfields & McCoys’

‘Give Up Tomorrow’ will be screened Wednesday as part of the Portland Public Library’s Summer Documentary Film Series.

Opening: ‘Total Recall’ / ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days’ / ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ / ‘Hope Springs’ / ‘Nitro Circus’

The action almost never stops in this remake of the Arnold vehicle ‘Total Recall,’ but that (and Kate Beckinsale) is about all it’s got going for it.

Opening: ‘The Watch’ / ‘Step Up Revolution’ / ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ / ‘The Intouchables’

The four actors at the center of ‘The Watch’ don’t hold back in trying to top each other for laughs.

A lack of emotional depth in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ makes it hard to care much about Batman or his friends and enemies.

Opening: ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift,’ ‘Fixing the Future,’ ‘Your Sister’s Sister’

Whoever said there are only 10 basic plots overlooked this one.
