“X-Men Origins: Wolverines”
Hugh Jackman seems more than willing to make this prequel growl playing the most interesting of X-Men, cigar-chomping Logan-Wolverine. Liev Schreiber is at the ready, too, as brother and nemesis Victor. So what dulls Wolverine’s new “adamantium” claws? An unresolved tension. Like the best comic-book adaptations, the movie wants be taken seriously about issues of violence and ambivalence while relying on the facile tricks of lesser action flicks.PG-13. 1 hour, 57 minutes.

“Push”
Dakota Fanning stars in this new comic-book-inspired thriller about mind readers and mind benders, people with telekinetic powers given to them by the government in some demented effort to create walking, talking human weapons. It’s a confusing mash-up of every movie or TV show you’ve ever seen about telekinesis. Fanning plays Cassie, a 13-year-old “watcher,” somebody who can see the future and sketch it out on her note pad. She shows up at the Hong Kong door of a “mover” played by Chris Evans. He’s been expecting her. His dad, a watcher, told him to look for her 10 years ago. And here she is, perky, punky and ready to bring down the bad guys.PG-13. 1 hour, 48 minutes. Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
