Tangled webs we weave
The latest film adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” stars Mia Wasikowska as the mousy, orphaned governess who enters Mr. Rochester’s troubled sphere. PG-13.
Friends and family
“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rod- rick Rules” is the second film from Jeff Kinney’s blockbuster series about a kid named Greg Heffley and his adolescent travails. Family dynamics, young love and schoolyard rivalry take this up a notch. PG.

Gift or curse?
Matt Damon takes on the touchy subject of “The Hereafter,” now on DVD. This drama spotlights a guy who wishes he weren’t “gifted” with the ability to communicate with the dead. PG-13.
What suits you
Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson, star in “How Do You Know?” It’s a tale of a female athlete whose career aspirations are dashed. As she wrestles with disappointment, her future becomes even more confused by the antics of two very different suitors. PG-13.
