'WINTER'S BONE' Â¼Â¼Â¼Â¼

(2009, Lionsgate; 99 minutes) Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant as a 17-year-old girl whose father has skipped bail and left his family threatened with homelessness. In a dirt poor area of the Ozarks, she goes seeking him among people who are suspicious, dangerous and in despair. Winner of the Grand Jury prize at Sundance 2010 and the screenwriting award, Debra Granik's film is one of the year's best. Rated R. (Roger Ebert)

'THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE' Â¼Â¼Â¼Â½

(2010, Music Box; 129 minutes) Noomi Rapace, electrifying in "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," returns for the second film from Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. Once again she's following the same crimes as journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), but they don't meet until late in the game as a murder trail leads to old family secrets. Well-constructed, good cast, but not quite up to the "Dragon" standard. Rated R. (Roger Ebert)

'SEX AND THE CITY 2' Â¼

(2010, New Line; 146 minutes) Marital discord between Carrie and Mr. Big prompts the gals to fly off for a vacation in Abu Dhabi, where their craven ways and fleshy displays offend the locals. Appalling. But sure to be enjoyed by "SATC" fans. Rated R. (Roger Ebert)

'PREDATORS' Â¼Â¼

(2010, Fox; 106 minutes) The movie is mostly about our nasty heroes being attacked by terrifying antagonists in incomprehensible muddles of lightning-fast special effects. It lacks the quiet suspense of the first "Predator." With Adrien Brody, Topher Grace and Danny Trejo. Rated R. (Roger Ebert)

'WILD GRASS' Â¼Â¼Â¼

(2010, Sony; 113 minutes) Because Marguerite went to buy shoes that day in Paris, her purse happened to be snatched, and Georges happened to find her billfold, and everything in the film descends from those improbable coincidences. Alain Resnais' work continues to exercise that freedom: If anything can happen, nothing must happen, as he creates a freewheeling exercise in comedy, or fate, or irony, or whatever, with great wit and visual style. Rated PG. (Roger Ebert)
