Previews
STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS. Four years ago (wow, really?) hotshot writer/director/producer J.J. Abrams breathed new life into this weary franchise by using an “alternate-universe” twist to (mind-) meld new storylines and actors with our favorite characters — Kirk, Spock, Bones, et al. In 2015 Abrams will take the helm of Star Wars: Episode VII, but this week he’s back to explore strange new worlds in Gene Roddenberry’s universe. PG13. 132m. Friday at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, a sulky teenager in a hoodie gets trapped in a bizarre time loop with a prophetic man-bunny named Frank. That’s right, cult fave Donnie Darko (2001) plays at 8 p.m. R. 113m. On Sunday, enjoy one of the best Pixar movies (and that’s sayin’ something): Ratatouille (2007) tells the story of Remy the Rat (voiced by the great Patton Oswalt), a culinary genius/rodent who partners with a young French chef to create gastronomical greatness. G. 111m.

An alcoholic baseball player finds redemption in a 12-step program because this is a religious right movie. PG13. 113m. IRON MAN 3. Billionaire playboy/superhero Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) must battle panic attacks and terrorist/ stereotype The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley). PG13. 130m. OBLIVION. Tom Cruise! Sci-fi! Mediocre! Kinda pretty, though. PG13. 126m. OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN. Gerard Butler protects the president from evil Koreans. Yawn. R. 100m. PAIN & GAIN. Hollywood schlockmaestro Michael Bay directs this explosive take on hostage-taking Miami muscleheads (Mark Wahlberg, Duane Johnson). R. 129m. — Ryan Burns l
