"Angels and Demons" (PG-13). Tom Hanks returns for this sequel to "The Da Vinci Code," in which the papal succession plot plunges into preposterous twists.

"Dance Flick" (PG-13). This comedy is more or less about students at a "Fame"-evocative performing arts high school. Grade: C- TownMall Cinemas (12:00, 2:20, 5:00, 7:35, 9:40)

"Drag Me to Hell" (PG-13). Alison Lohman plays a bank loan officer who authorizes the eviction of a gypsy widow from her home, prompting a supernatural curse. Director Sam Raimi deftly mixes screams and laughs in this enjoyable horror movie. Grade: B TownMall Cinemas (1:50, 4:50, 7:40, 10:05)

"Land of the Lost" (PG-13). Not reviewed. Will Ferrell and Anna Friel star in this loose big screen adaptation of the 1970s children's television program about a crackpot scientist who is transported backwards through time. Carrolltown 6 Cinemas (1:25, 4:10, 7:10)

"Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian" (PG). Ben Stiller is a former museum guard in this sequel, but he still cares about his beloved museum display figures.

"Star Trek" (PG-13). The franchise is rebooted in a sleek, emotionally satisfying story about the earliest days of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Spock are among the young actors bringing this old series to new life.

"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (PG-13). The storytelling gets rather convoluted, but this latest sequel still knows how to get the most out of Hugh Jackman's sharp finger extensions. Although it doesn't exactly linger in memory, the movie has enough visceral energy to keep you watching. Grade: B- TownMall Cinemas (1:30, 4:40, 7:50, 10:20)
