NOW PLAYING 24 Hour Party People

Wonderfully unpious look back at British punk and the creation of indie label Factory Records by Manchester native and tv celeb Tony Wilson (charmingly impersonated by Steve Coogan). The music's great and the mocking, experimental tone of director Michael Winterbottom is just right. A blast. ? AW (BAM ROSE CINEMAS, CITY CINEMA 3RD AVENUE, SUNSHINE CINEMA, SONY LINCOLN SQUARE)

Amy's Orgasm

Julie Davis attempts Woody Allen nerd-jokes from the vulva's point of view. It's a Jewish Sex and the City, with Davis feeling enough hormone eruption for four women. Playing a horny author of a self-help books, Davis' humor is cliche, but, thankfully, her directing touch is light. ? AW (ANGELIKA FILM CENTER)

Apocalypse Now Redux

In which director Francis Coppola restores 49 minutes that he excised from his 1979 Vietnam epic, and in one fell swoop, neutralizes nearly every major criticism leveled at the picture 22 year sago. The characterizations are richer and more plausible, the performances more complex, and there's more political and sociological context for the spectacle. The final act is still pretty lame (more Tarzan than Joseph Conrad) and Marlon Brando's performance as Kurtz is still an indulgent, portenteous bunch of hot air (although, to be fair, the role was probably unplayable). But it's an amazing, in some ways revelatory experience ? a Homeric voyage into the American unconscious that enfolds you like an absorbing piece of literature. Among the highlights: the much-discussed, never-before-seen French plantation sequence, an interlude between the Playboy bunnies and the boys in the boat, and more footage of Col. Kilgore (Robert Duvall)?MZS (SYMPHONY SPACE)

Austin Powers in Goldmember

Mike Myers returns as the snaggle-toothed British superspy. He also does supporting turns as Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard and the title baddie, a demented Dutchman who lost his tallywhacker in a smelting accident. A cross between Peter Sellers and Benny Hill, Myers is a brilliant visual gagster who can't resist diluting his formidable wit with pee-pee/poo-poo humor. There's not much plot and the pacing is rotten; this film, like its predecessors, is a collection of revue sketches. But some of them are hysterical. ?

Blood Work

Clint Eastwood's workmanlike genre picture is also a rumination on maturity. Before its routine wrap-up, this is the rare Hollywood movie with a credible sense of how middle-aged men and women interact (Eastwood warmly co-stars with Anjelica Huston, Wanda de Jesus and Tina Lifford). John Sayles, take note. ?

The Bourne Identity

Matt Damon's perennial movie question ("Who am I?") is posed, then neglected in favor of the silliest action-movie cliches. Director Doug Liman's spy movie repeats his Go esthetic in service of Hollywood genre but lacking all originality. Franke Potente plays "the girl" but without the zest she had in Run Lola Run. ? AW (AMC EMPIRE 25, CINEMART CINEMAS, LOEWS KIPS BAY)

Full Frontal

Even a bad Steven Soderbergh movie is worth seeing, and this one is worth seeing. Working with writer Coleman Hough, the director attempts a Hollywood satire with multiple layers of drama-shot partly on digital video to make things more "realistic" and "documentary-like." (Funny how, when big-name filmmakers turn to DV, their version of reality is always set in the entertainment industry.) Julia Roberts, Blair Underwood, Mary McCormack, David Duchovny, Nicky Katt, Catherine Keener and other talented actors flounder in semi-improvisational situations; the compositions are poor, the pacing sludgy, and the apparent message (Hollywood is a dream factory, and the dreamers are caught in the gears) is depressingly stale. ?

The Good Girl

Jennifer Aniston plays a modern Madame Bovary in Miguel Arteta's condescending view of white working-class America. It's completely phony, yet Aniston, playing a hateful twat, is extremely likable. ?

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart Mediocre alt-rock band Wilco is photographed by Sam Jones during their battles with Warner Bros. And each other. Leader Jeff Tweedy pleads migraines when it is plainly egotism. The music is banal, but the b&w photography is lovely. ? AW (CINEMA VILLAGE)

The Kid Stays in the Picture

Former Paramount exec Robert Evans relives the glory days of the 70s and trusts that viewers will be entertained by his coke-crusted remembrances of The Godfather, Chinatown and Ali McGraw. Struggle to resist this entertaining prevarication. ? AW (ANGELIKA FILM CENTER, BAM ROSE CINEMAS, CITY CINEMA 3RD AVENUE, KEW GARDENS CINEMAS, LINCOLN PLAZA CINEMAS, LOEWS 42ND STREET E WALK)

Lan Yu

Stanley Kwan's very serious exploration of a gay May-December romance during the Tianneman Square uprising is bold, yet dull. Chinese authorities may be outraged by the full frontal nudity, but all others may yawn. ? AW (QUAD CINEMA)

Men in Black II

Barry Sonnenfeld's sequel to his 1997 Ghostbusters rip-off is mildly amusing but rather thin-so thin that it makes the first film seem substantial. Will Smith returns as Agent J, who's now an embittered loner; his ex-partner, K (Tommy Lee Jones), is retired, which gives the filmmakers a reason to keep the funniest, richest character off-screen throughout the first act. It's 80-plus minutes of air-conditioning. ? MZS (AMC EMPIRE 25, CINEPLEX ODEON CINEMA 5, UNITED ARTISTS CROSS BAY II) Merci Pour le Chocolat

Not a sequel to the sappy Juliette Binoche film but Claude Chabrol's scrupulously familiar expose of bourgeois tensions. Isabelle Huppert plays the dangerously secretive wife who also commands a business and terrorizes her super-civilized family. When Huppert shows emotion, it's as surprising as seeing a potato weep. ? AW (CINEMA VILLAGE)

Metropolis (1927)

Directed and scripted by two masters of Japanese anime, Rintaro (Galaxy Express 999) and Katushiro Otomo (Akira), this sci-fi fable has little in common with the same-named 1927 film, save for the title, the basic plot and a few design touches. The plot, which revolves around a girl robot messiah intended to unite warring factions in a gigantic city-state, is typically fuzzy; the animation, compositions and direction are reliably splendid; the city itself is a marvel of mix-and-match design, well worth the price of admission. ? MZS (CLEARVIEW'S ZIEGFELD, QUAD CINEMA)

Minority Report

Tom Cruise, in his first great performance, plays Anderton, a D.C. cop in a future Pre-Crime unit that prevents murders. This poli-sci-fi movie is Spielberg's dynamic treatise on vision and violence. Layered with ideas and movie references, it's a work of spiritual art, correcting the cynicism of A Clockwork Orange. Samantha Morton plays Agatha, a woman involved in Anderton's moral quest. She asks: Can you see? ? AW(AMC EMPIRE 25, CLEARVIEW'S FIRST & 62ND, UNITED ARTISTS UNION SQUARE STADIUM 14)

My Wife is an Actress

Yvan Attal co-stars with his wife Charlotte Gainsbourg in this comedy about marital envy. Attal directs himself narcissistically; he has a smug sense of humor. The film's relentless charm and wit are choking. ? AW (CITY CINEMA VILLAGE EAST CINEMA, KEW GARDENS CINEMAS, LINCOLN PLAZA CINEMAS)

The Piano Teacher (La Pianiste) Dread echoes of Jane Campion aren't accidental. This Michael Haneke film is another obvious, polemical trial to sit through. Glum Isabelle Huppert, currently overpraised for the kind of quiet neurosis that Jennifer Jason Leigh turned into sexy lyricism, plays a hypocritical sadist who takes out her sexual frustration on her students. ? AW (CINEMA VILLAGE) Possession

Neil LaBute's version of the A.S. Byatt novel will remind viewers of The French Lieutenant's Woman, only warmer, more glamorous and more palatable. Jeremy Northam is the fictional 19th-century poet believed to have fallen in love with a fellow poet (Jennifer Ehle) who might have been a lesbian; Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart are, respectively, the British and American academics investigating the past. The flashback scenes generate a fine repressive heat, but the present-day stuff has a touch of 1960s Hollywood about it, and the characters' relentless self-criticism and psychoanalytic dialogue grows tiresome. LaBute seems to have traded misanthropy for listlessness. ?

Read My Lips

Jacques Audiard's Hitchcockian noir plies the modern sexual pathology?but all very obviously. As soon as mousey secretary Emmanuelle Devos meets scummy ex-con Vincent Cassel you know rape, robbery and class-subversion will ensue. So will boredom. ? AW (CITY CINEMA VILLAGE EAST CINEMA, KEW GARDENS CINEMAS) Reign of Fire

A robust melange of pop-mythic, action movie cliches about fire-breathing dragons bringing on Apocalypse and only bare-chested Christian Bale and goateed Matthew McConaughey left to fight for mankind. Director Rob Bowman tries/fails to be John Boorman. Atmospheric, rousing f/x, almost fun, but should have been a lot better. ? AW (AMC EMPIRE 25)

Road to Perdition

The most divisive Hollywood movie of the summer, this stately, self-consciously beautiful gangster parable is the only recent feature film whose critical reception suggests that of Blade Runner, Vertigo and other visionary films-dream movies, less interested in plausible psychology and realistic plot than in mood, texture, design and throwaway details of performance. Tom Hanks is the morose hit man protecting his son from a murderous mob war; Paul Newman is a gangster boss and surrogate dad; Conrad Hall's brilliant photography (the film's true star) suggests a film noir comic book painted in watercolor, using mainly blacks, whites and deep blues, greens and ochres-the colors of decay. Be warned: You'll love or hate it, and either reaction will likely be based on esthetic prejudice. ? MZS (CLEARVIEW'S FIRST & 62ND, COLLEGE POINT MULTIPLEX CINEMAS, LOEWS 19TH ST.

Satin Rouge

First-time writer director Raja Amari's film is a rarity-an intelligent, fun, grownup movie about sexuality. The heroine, a Tunisian widow named Lilia (Hiam Abbass), stumbles into the world of belly-dancing and comes out of her shell one shimmy at a time; in lesser hands, this might have been a ridiculously overheated Adrian Lyne special, or maybe a cute/harmless crowd pleaser like The Full Monty. But the movie takes its characters, situations and themes seriously and roots every moment in reality; some of Satin Rouge has the kinetic spontaneity of a documentary, and the performances are superb. ? MZS (BAM ROSE CINEMAS, QUAD CINEMA)

Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams Writer-director-editor-producer-composer-production designer Robert Rodriguez...oh, sorry. The guy took so many credits on his new movie that there's no room left for plot summary. It's a hyperactive, slightly trashy, fairly amusing followup to the original, with an island populated by Ray Harryhausen-style monsters and lorded over by a mad scientist (Steve Buscemi). Ricardo Montalban and Holland Taylor do funny supporting turns as the grandparents of the young spies (Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara), who are trying to recover a top secret invention that can turn off mechanical devices all over the world. It was shot on high definition video, so see it a theater with digital projection; if you see a film print, it'll look like crap. ?

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

George Lucas inches toward Darth Vader's turn to the dark side. This installment features his arrested adolescence as Anakin Skywalker played by Hayden Christensen with teen-idol petulance more interesting than the myriad f/x. Yoda's back showing kick-ass skills and an alarming resemblance to that perpetual alien Samuel L. Jackson. ? AW (AMC EMPIRE 25)

Stuart Little 2

The little mouse returns for an adventure involving a pigeon, a falcon and some pilfered jewelry; like the original, it has precious little in common with E.B. White's classic children's story, except for the droll tone. Director Rob Minkoff isn't too interested in plot, but he gets the playful mood just right, and the chase sequences (many of which occur at mouse level, or from a bird's-eye view) are superb. With Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie as Stuart's adoptive parents, Jonathan Lipnicki as his brother and Melanie Griffith, James Woods, Steve Zahn and Nathan Lane as animal voices. ?

The Sum of All Fears

Jack Ryan's back, and he's 25 years younger and looks like Ben Affleck. The villains of Tom Clancy's airport fiction smash have been switched, ironically, from Arab terrorists to Hitler-worshipers led by a right-wing German politician (Alan Bates), but the political details and images of mass destruction resonate anyway. Unfortunately, like the other Ryan movies, this one starts promisingly, with a number of smart political references and black comic moments, then gets dumber and trashier as it goes along, climaxing with a preposterously happy ending completely at odds with America's current mood of pragmatic dread. Pre-9/11, it would have been dismissed as just another James Bond variant aimed at dads and granddads; post 9/11, it's offensive and sad. ? MZS (LOEWS STATE THEATRE) Sunday Bloody Sunday

Epochal when released in 1971 but, strangely, hasn't had much influence since. About how men and women manage emotions on sex and love and adult self-sufficiency. Few movies since then have even touched on sexual orientation as credibly-it's centers on a bisexual triangle with young thang Murray Head. Stars Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson give memorable characterizations as middle-aged people still shaken by longing. (For some reason director John Schlesinger never made a decent movie again-well, The Day of the Locust had something.) ?AW (AMERICAN MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE) Sunshine State

Another of John Sayles' public service announcement movies. Against a Florida beach town backdrop, Edie Falco, Angela Bassett, Mary Alice and Jane Alexander head a Fairness Doctrine cast of Americans discovering grassroots activism to fight real estate developers. Well-intentioned but stodgy and obvious. ? AW (LINCOLN PLAZA CINEMAS, QUAD CINEMA, UA 64TH AND 2ND, UNITED ARTISTS UNION SQUARE STADIUM 14)

Tadpole

The Graduate as made by a freshman. Director Gary Winick wants audiences to enjoy the pedophile comedy of an obnoxious 15-year-old preppy (Aaron Stanford) seducing older New York women (Sigourney Weaver, Bebe Neuwrith). If he targeted priests no one would laugh. Smug, smirky, smutty and regressive. ? AW (CITY CINEMAS EASTSIDE PLAYHOUSE, CINEMART CINEMAS, CLEARVIEW'S CHELSEA, COBBLE HILL CINEMAS, SUNSHINE CINEMA, LINCOLN PLAZA CINEMAS, PAVILION THEATRE, UNITED ARTISTS BATTERY PARK CITY 16) XXX Vin Diesel brings bi-raciality to Hollywood stardom.

Y Tu Mama Tambien

Exuberant? Try rancid. This Mexican road comedy follows a rich and poor student (Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna) who share boredom and sex and jealousy with a slutty passenger (Maribel Verdu). Kitschmeister Alfonso Cuaron uses frequent nudity and rabbity sex-bouts to distract from the fake seriousness. Almodovar Lite? Try Ron Shelton Trite. ? AW (SUNSHINE CINEMA)
