SIEGFRIED AND ROY: THE MAGIC BOX (PG) As magnificently overblown a piece of Uber Kitsch as you could ever want to find, Siggy and Roy's 3-D movie is a big, gaudy, guilty pleasure for the whole family. Stars Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Uwe Ludwig Horn. 
1/2
THRILL RIDE: THE SCIENCE OF FUN (G) IMAX technology captures every hairpin turn and stomach-turning drop of the history of thrill rides across the globe. (Not Reviewed)
TOP SPEED (NR) Another IMAX movie experience that is both entertaining and painlessly educational. Top Speed replicates the adrenaline rush of speed freaks and charts the endless human obsession of going really fast. (Not Reviewed)
WRONG TURN (R) This teen horror/thriller flick takes backwoods, cousins-marrying-cousins stereotypes to a gory level. In the West Virginia wilderness, a group of cannibalistic, inbred mountain men hunt a group of tasty teens who took, yep, a Wrong Turn. Shall we say something along the lines of I Know What You Did Last Summer meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Starring Jeremy Sisto, Eliza Dushku, Desmond Harrington, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Desmond Harrington and Lindy Booth. Opens May 30 at local theaters. (Not Reviewed)
X2 (PG-13) Here is an action-fantasy blockbuster that begs to be taken seriously, even as it entertains the hell out of us. The story is richer and more intricate than in the original X-Men (itself a pretty fair ride), and the characters are fleshed out in ways that make them even more intriguing. On the surface, Singer's film has all the black/white, good/evil dichotomies necessary to fuel a good action flick, but the movie also reveals all sorts of subtleties and ambiguities. This time, the mutants find themselves in the middle of a sinister plot hatched by various forces bent on jump-starting an all-out war between humans and mutants, forcing them to team up with their old nemesis, the uber-mutant Magneto (Ian McKellen). The movie is filled with uneasy alliances: conflicted heroes who do bad things and conflicted villains who do good things. Contradictory agendas blow up in more than one face, dangerous secrets are revealed and a main character or two bites the dust. Also stars Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Brian Cox.
