It is now playing at Carmike Riverstone 15 Cinemas in Canton and at Cherokee 16 Cinemas in Towne Lake. For more theater information, show times and pricing, click the links above. Here's what the critics are saying: Slow, sentimental and somewhat sedated, the third "Hangover" movie isn't so much exhausted of outrageous "Oh no, they didn't!" ideas as it is spent of energy. And they knew it too. — Roger Moore, Chicago Tribune This sequel makes a major tactical error by focusing excessively on the most outlandish — and least comical— character from the previous films. It's more a road movie with action elements than a comedy, …

'Great Gatsby' is playing this weekend.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars in Baz Luhrmann's take on "The Great Gatsby," which is at times more style than substance – just like like the novel's main character himself – say some critics. "The Great Gatsby" is rated PG-13 and runs two hours and 22 minutes. It is now playing at Carmike Riverstone 15 Cinemas. For more theater information, show times and pricing, click the link above. Here's what else the critics are saying: Baz Luhrmann’s new film version of The Great Gatsby is stylish, slick, funny and entertaining—a bit detached at points, a bit overblown at others. That should be all that matters. — Jeremy Mathews, Paste Magazine Just because a film looks like it was dipped in 18-karat gold doesn’t mean it’s rich in quality. Take this 3-D …

The third film in the series and the fourth featuring national treasure Robert Downey Jr. as genius billionaire playboy-philanthropist Tony Stark (after last summer's superhero free-for-all "The Avengers"), it raises the stakes considerably, to the point that, should RDJ never want to put on the robotic suit again, the story …

Full Review "A moderately clever dystopian mindbender with a gratifying human pulse, despite some questionable …

It's blood, blood and more blood in the remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult classic.
See "Evil Dead" at Cherokee 16 Cinemas in Towne Lake or Carmike RiverStone 15 Cinemas in Canton. The premise, courtesy of the film's official website: In the much-anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film, five 20-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival. Here's what critics are saying: Despite numerous visual winks to the original, (Director Fede) Alvarez sacrifices its camp, crass humor for lashings of slick, sick gore. Hard-core fans may love it. But, much like those demons, it’s rather soulless. — James Mottram, …

This movie about aging magicians could use a little more magic and may not be worth seeing at the movie theater.
Editor's note: 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' is rated PG-13 and is showing at Cherokee 16 Cinemas in Towne Lake and at Carmike RiverStone 15 Cinemas in Canton. The premise, courtesy of IMDb: When a street magician's stunt begins to make their show look stale, superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton look to salvage their act — and their friendship — by staging their own daring stunt. What critics are saying: There's nothing particularly smart or fun about this film. It can be silly but rarely in an inspired way. And with a cast this well stocked with comedy talent, and direction by Don Scardino (an Emmy nominee for 30 Rock), you'd think just a few more laughs would not feel like such an impossible reach. — Marshall …
