Conan the Barbarian (R; 95 min.) Promising to bear no relation to the 1982 turkey starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, this reboot pictures the barbarian as a young man, avenging the destruction of his people. Jason Momoa (Stargate) stars. 1985 Halloween-rental fave about a teen who’s the only one certain his new creepy neighbor (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. Screenplay by Marti Noxon, co-writer, co-producer for Buffy! (NB)

Spy Kids: All the Time in the World (PG; 89 min.) Most of the gang are back in this fourth installment of Richard Rodriguez’s pet project, and the first since 2003. The kids, though (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara), aren’t so much kids anymore. (NB)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (PG-13; 130 min.) The saga wraps up in a cluttered, confusing though fastpaced adventure in which Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) confronts Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). It’s the end game set up in the vastly superior first part; you’ll be lost if you didn’t rewatch the first half within a week of seeing this one. (RvB)

Glee: The Concert Movie (PG; 100 min.) Madonna’s choreographer Kevin Tancharoen directs this film of live footage and backstage interviews from the cast of the hit TV series while on their sold-out 2010 tour of North America. (NB)
recreation of the past and an appealing comicbook story about a New York stripling who becomes the patriotic champion of World War II. Chris Evans is the titular hero, and Hugo Weaving plays the impressively disfigured villain “the Red Skull.” Joe Johnston’s direction may be too much in the mode of a classic ’40s movie for the kids, but it has loads to offer, including a drily funny Tommy Lee Jones and surprising art direction. (RvB)
The Change-Up (R; 112 min.) It’s Freaky Friday revisited in comedy starring Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds as friends who switch bodies after peeing in a magical fountain. Really. (NB) Cowboys & Aliens (PG-13; 118 min.) Exactly what you think. Based on the 2006 graphic novel by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and starring Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Daniel Craig and Sam Rockwell. Jon Favreau (Iron Man) directs. (NB) Crazy Stupid Love (PG-13; 128 min.) After Steve Carrell’s idyllic marriage unravels, he takes love advice from single pal Ryan Gosling. Hey, that looks like The Graduate’s movie poster! (NB)
Page One: Inside the New York Times (R; 88 min.) Sundance premiere documenting one year in the life of the world’s most famous newsroom comes to theaters. Includes interviews with Gay Talese, Carl Bernstein and David Remnick. (NB)
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (PG-13; 105 min.) If there are two words that sum up Rupert Wyatt’s film, they are “strangely plausible.” At Genesis, a Bay Area genetic tech lab of about 2012 or so, scientist Will Rodman (Palo Alto’s own James Franco) is working on a cure for Alzheimer’s. When a superintelligent baby lab chimp named Caesar (Andy Serkis) is ordered to be destroyed, Will brings him home to his Peninsula home, and a San Francisco Zoo veterinarian (Freida Pinto) helps him raise the critter. The last third of the film, thrilling and fast, takes over Caesar’s story. Wyatt shines here, bringing in images of urban rebellion that have as much Zeitgeist as the first Apes movie did in 1968. Like the J. J. Abrams remake of Star Trek, this isn’t a demolition job but a handsomely done renovation of an old property. (RvB)
The Smurfs (PG; 109 min.) Evil wizard (Hank Azaria) chases the blue things out of their village, sending them into the arms of Neil Patrick Harris. Jonathan Winters, Alan Cumming, Katy Perry and Paul Reubens add their voices. (NB)
30 Minutes or Less (R; 83 min.) Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) co-stars with Aziz Ansari in this comedy about a pizzadelivery guy forced into a night of crime by a pair of criminal wannabes. From the director of Zombieland. (NB) The Trip (NR; 107 min.) Michael Winterbottom (Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story) directs British comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon on a tour of Northern England’s finer restaurants. Watch for their dueling Michael Caine impressions. At Summerfield Cinemas. (NB)
