At the Movies
Move over, Borat
Fashion may never be the same after “Brüno,” starring Sacha Baron Cohen, hits the scene. He uses his, shall we say, unique style to satirize homophobic responses among the uber-masculine. It’s a silly social litmus test; you’ll either laugh, cry, scream or yawn. R. 1 hour, 23 minutes.
Profiles in courage
A nerdy valedictorian publicly declares his amorous feelings for the most popular girl in school in “I Love You, Beth Cooper.” To his shock and amazement, Beth is receptive. Maybe nice guys actually finish first? PG-13. I hour, 42 minutes.
Homebodies
Future shock
Racing against time, Nicolas Cage plays an MIT professor who deciphers a long-lost and dangerously prophetic code in “Knowing,” a creepy, jarring thriller now on DVD. PG-13.
From Rain Man to Romeo
Two ordinary, middle-aged people (Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson) get one last chance to win the waiting game for romance in the intelligent, thoughtful film “Last Chance Harvey.” PG-13.
