(2011). In its theatrical release, writer-director (and series creator) Robert Rodriguez’s third sequel to 2001’s Spy Kids offered the novelty of "Aroma-Scope," giving viewers the chance, via a scratch-and-sniff card, to "smell" the action as they watched our young heroes -- and their parents "fight to save the world. Now retired to be a housewife, the former top agent (Jessica Alba) for the OSS (Organization of Super Spies) is called back into service when a villain (Jeremy Piven) threatens to unleash a super weapon that will take away all time. Her stepchildren (Mason Cook and Rowan Blanchard) also join the struggle as Spy Kids, members of the "elite juvenile division" of the OSS. As the family -- which also includes dad Joel McHale -- learns to work together to rescue humanity, they discover that time is a precious commodity that must be used wisely. Light comic-book action, mildly rude humor. (A-II)(PG) Showtime (cable)

(2012). Pretentious, deadpan whimsicality overwhelms a core story about adults trying to do the best for two troubled pre-teens (Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward). Director Wes Anderson, who co-wrote with Roman Coppola, portrays the grownups (Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Bruce Willis and Edward Norton among them), along with a troop of young scouts, as caring and sensitive, if occasionally clueless. But one scene involving the two leads teeters queasily on the edge of sexual exploitation. An instance of underage sensuality, a reference to an extramarital affair, fleeting crass language.

(2012). Feel-good nonsense about a rowdy naval officer (Taylor Kitsch) who has to grow up fast when he’s called upon to save the world from a seemingly invincible force of invading aliens. He’s aided, initially, by his steadier older brother and navy comrade (Alexander Skarsgard) and later by the shore-side efforts of his would-be fiancee (Brooklyn Decker). She’s a physical therapist for wounded vets (most prominently real-life Purple Heart-winner Gregory D. Gadson) whose admiral father (Liam Neeson) takes a dim view of her relationship with our hero. And music star Rihanna gets thrown into the mix representing the tough-as-nails distaff side of the duty roster. Director Peter Berg’s action adventure, which is supposed to have something to do with the titular Hasbro game, pulls out every patriotic stop and waves every flag within reach, offering a largely harmless, if quickly forgotten, diversion for mature viewers. Much action violence and some painful slapstick, at least one use of profanity, about a dozen crude and a handful of crass terms. (A-III)(PG-13) Cinemax (cable)

(1972) Appealing story of a black family of Louisiana sharecroppers struggling to survive against natural and human odds during the early days of the Depression. When the father (Paul Winfield) is jailed for stealing food, his wife (Cicely Tyson) and three children (Kevin Hooks is the eldest) are left to crop the sugar cane on their own. The boy’s subsequent odyssey to find the labor camp where his father is being held provides additional drama. Produced by Robert B. Radnitz and directed by Martin Ritt, it captures the humanity of the characters and a fine, distanced sense of its sleepy Southern locale. The movie earns a deep emotional response from its audience because its story and characters are believable. Not only a valid examination of the black experience in America, it is also a fine family experience. (A-I)(G) TCM (cable)

Our Lady of the Assumption, 2222 Shopiere Rd., will be offering a year-end concert on Sunday, May 19, at 2 p.m. This concert, featuring the 30 voice choir of the parish under the direction of Randy Gracyalny, will include music from Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and throughout the Church year. Instrumentalists from the parish and surrounding area will accompany the choir on many selections. There is no charge for the concert but a free will offering will be taken to support the work of the choir.

(2008) Powerful but often brutal drama of a family of New York police officers (Edward Norton, Colin Farrell, Noah Emmerich and Jon Voight, all solid) torn apart by a major corruption scandal. Though director and co-writer Gavin O’Connor’s absorbing drama starts out noisily frenetic as a drug bust goes fatally awry, the family elements eventually come to the fore, taking on the dimensions of genuine tragedy, with that age-old conflict between right and wrong in vivid play. Strong violence with bloodshed, pervasive rough language and profanity, some crude sexual expressions, drug use and suicide. (L)(R) AMC (cable)

(1956) Winning adaptation of Jessamyn West's novel about a Quaker household (Gary Cooper, Dorothy McGuire and Tony Perkins) at the time of the Civil War. Director William Wyler's lyrical treatment of family life and human relationships heightens the conflict between the hard realities of the war and the pacifist convictions of the Quaker faith. Still a warm and cheering experience for family viewers. (A-I)(Not rated) TCM (cable)

(2012) A basically good-hearted but less-than-scrupulous businessman (Chris Pine) faces a moral dilemma when he discovers, in the wake of his long-estranged father's death, that he has a half-sister (Elizabeth Banks) and that Dad left secret instructions for him to convey a large cash bequest to her. Up against significant financial reversals, he sorely needs the money himself. But as he gets to know his struggling sibling -- he contrives to cross her path as though he were a chance acquaintance -- and bonds with her troubled preteen son (Michael Hall D'Addario), less selfish considerations come to the fore. Director and co-writer Alex Kurtzman's low-key blend of comedy and drama, based on real events and aimed at intelligent, mature audiences, showcases some fine acting and delivers a thoughtful -- if not always entirely plausible -- examination of its main characters’ struggle to overcome a legacy of dysfunction. Cohabitation, brief semi-graphic sexual activity, drug use, addiction theme, a few instances of profanity, at least one rough term and considerable crude and crass language.

(1962) The Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, is re-created on an epic scale in this three-hour dramatization of the operational preparations, behind-the-line activities but mostly the ferocious battle itself, with particular attention to the American landings at Omaha Beach. Directed by Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton and Bernard Wicki, the result is an absorbing account of D-Day from both sides of the battlefield, with convincing portrayals of men in combat from an international cast headed by John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and Henry Fonda. Wartime violence seen in the context of a righteous cause. (A-I)(Not rated) AMC (cable)

(1946) Three World War II veterans (sergeant Fredric March, bombardier Dana Andrews and sailor Harold Russell with hooks in place of hands) meet on their way home to resume civilian lives in the same small town where they try to help each other readjust to peacetime. Director William Wyler gives sympathetic treatment to the post-war rehabilitation of returning GIs, portraying in fairly realistic detail their career difficulties as well as personal problems with wives and girlfriends (Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright, Virginia Mayo and Cathy O’Donnell). Mature themes, including a broken marriage. (A-III)(Not rated) TCM (cable)
