For Tuesday, May 15 -- Monday, May 21

Arthur and the Invisibles 
A magical tale of a young boy's courageous journey to save his grandfather's home from demolition. Ten-year-old Arthur has a lot on his plate: a real estate developer is about to snap up his grandfather's home ... and there's no way Arthur's going to hang around for his parents or grandparents to sort out the problem. Maybe the solution lies in his grandpa's treasure, which is hidden somewhere on the "other side" in the land of the Minimoys. The creatures that inhabit this world are just a tenth of an inch tall and live in perfect harmony with their environment. Arthur ventures into this world of the Minimoys, where he meets Princess Selenia and her brother Betameche. Together they set off to look for the treasure that will save his grandma. An action-packed adventure ensues, full of pitfalls and intrigues, all the way up to the forbidden city ruled by the evil M the Malicious. Arthur's journey in the Minimoys universe reveals that sometimes the smallest heroes make the biggest difference. Combination of live-action and 3-D-CG animation. Vitals: Director: Luc Besson. Stars: Freddie Highmore, Mia Farrow, Penny Balfour, Doug Rand and the voices of Madonna, David Bowie, Snoop Dogg, Robert De Niro, Jimmy Fallon, Harvey Keitel, Emilio Estevez. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 94 min., Family, Box office gross: $ 14.118 million, The Weinstein Company/Genius Products.

Fountain, The
"The Fountain" is an odyssey about one man's eternal struggle to save the woman he loves. His epic journey begins in 16th-century Spain, where conquistador Tomas (Hugh Jackman) commences his search for the Fountain of Youth, the legendary entity believed to grant immortality. As modern-day scientist Tommy Creo, he desperately struggles to find a cure for the cancer that is killing his beloved wife, Isabel (Rachel Weisz). Traveling through deep space as a 26th-century astronaut, Tom begins to grasp the mysteries that have consumed him for a millennium. The three stories converge into one truth, as the Thomas of all periods -- warrior, scientist, and explorer -- comes to terms with life, love, death and rebirth. Vitals: Director: Darren Aronofsky. Stars: Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz, Ellen Burstyn, Sean Gullette, Sean Patrick Thomas, Donna Murphy. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 96 min., Sci Fi Fantasy, Box office gross: $10.139 million, Warner.

Pan's Labyrinth
Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro delivers a unique, richly imagined epic with this gothic fairy tale set against the postwar repression of Franco's Spain. Del Toro's sixth and most ambitious film, "Pan's Labyrinth" combines the historic and moral themes of his acclaimed Spanish Civil War ghost story "The Devil's Backbone" with the protean visual creativity and gripping dynamics of such previous films as "Hellboy" and "Blade Ii." Harnessing the formal characteristics of classic folklore to a 20th Century landscape, del Toro delivers a timeless tale of good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss. The film unfolds through the eyes of Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), a dreamy little girl who is uprooted to a rural military outpost commanded by her new stepfather. Powerless and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human. Ofelia and her mother Carmen (Ariadna Gil) are on their way to their new home. A bright and dreamy little girl, Ofelia keeps her precious books of fairy tales close at hand, despite Carmen's gentle admonition that it may be time for her to put away these childhood favorites. It is unlikely that such pastimes will meet the approval of Ofelia's new stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi Lopez). And Carmen, who is pregnant with the captain's child, is anxious for her daughter to get along with the man to whom she has entrusted their future. But for Ofelia, fables of good and evil, magic and danger are more than simple entertainment. They are her window onto the world, awakening her to life's everyday possibilities and mysteries. When a dragonfly captures Ofelia's attention during a roadside stop, it is not a gangly insect that she follows into the woods but a glistening emerald ambassador, welcoming her to its domain. There is little sense of welcome, however, when Ofelia and her mother finally arrive at their destination, an abandoned mill in rural Spain that Vidal has converted into a military headquarters. Captain Vidal doesn't want to be a parent to Ofelia, whose own father died several years ago. What Vidal wants is the son that Carmen is carrying, not a family. On the grounds of the mill, armed soldiers are everywhere. Charged with rooting out resistance fighters in the nearby mountains, Vidal and his troops zealously pursue any and all signs of their opponents. Thus far, the rebels have managed elude capture, though fascists have solidified their power in the region. Those local people who clean and cook for the soldiers do their work quietly, speaking only when they are spoken to. Carmen, her condition already precarious, grows even sicker and is soon confined to her bed. In this tense and fearful environment, Ofelia finds a sympathetic presence in the housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verdu), who shows her a rambling, neglected old garden near the mill. With its winding paths, it is a lovely place to wander, though one can easily become lost there after nightfall. That garden labyrinth will become Ofelia's haven, a dark refuge from loneliness and sorrow. It is a place of fantastical creatures and powerful talismans, presided over by a teasing, inscrutable Faun (Doug Jones). Here, Ofelia will come to terms with the world as she now knows it -- and with the monsters that live not only in her imagination, but in her daily life. Vitals: Director: Guillermo del Toro. Stars: Ivana Baquero, Doug Jones, Sergi Lopez, Ariadna Gil, Maribel Verdu, Alex Angulo, Roger Casamajor, Sebastian Haro, Mina Lira, Federico Luppi, Ivan Massague, Chema Ruiz, Manolo Solo, Milo Taboada. 2006, CC, MPAA rating: R, 112 min., Fantasy Thriller, Box office gross: $34.224 million, New Line.

Stomp the Yard
When DJ (Columbus Short), a troubled youth from Los Angeles, moves to Atlanta to attend Truth University, he discovers "stepping," the age-old style of dance traditionally done in African-American Fraternities, where teams demonstrate complex moves and create rhythmic sounds by using their bodies. DJ's raw talent and hip-hop inspired moves quickly place him at the center of a fierce rivalry between two fraternities, the winner of which will be determined in front of a sold-out arena at the annual stepping championships. But before he can help his teammates, he must battle his own demons and learn the true meaning of brotherhood. Vitals: Director: Sylvain White. Stars: Columbus Short, Meagan Good, Darrin DeWitt Henson, Ne-Yo, Brian J. White. 2007, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 116 min., Musical Drama, Box office gross: $61.356 million, Sony.

DVD Collectibles:
Two important releases this week from The Criterion Collection: Jean-Pierre Melville's "Army of Shadows" (1969 -- France) and Shohei Imamura's "Vengeance Is Mine" (1979 -- Japan). Jean-Pierre Melville's masterpiece about the French Resistance went unreleased in the United States for 37 years before its triumphant theatrical debut in 2006. Atmospheric and gripping, "Army of Shadows" is Melville's most personal film, featuring Lino Ventura, Jean-Pierre Cassel, and the incomparable Simone Signoret as intrepid underground fighters who must grapple with their own brand of honor in their fight against evil. "Army of Shadows" was named best film of 2006 by critics from around the world, from the New York Times to Premiere magazine. The two-disc set features a new, restored, high-definition digital transfer, supervised by director of photography Pierre Lhomme, and is loaded with extras. "Vengeance Is Mine" (1979 -- Japan) is a diabolically funny tale about a thief, murderer and charming lady-killer on the run from the police. Acclaimed director Shohei Imamura turns a fact-based story, of a remorseless mass murderer from a devoutly Catholic family, into a cold, perverse, and, at times, humorous tale of the primitive coexisting with the modern. More than just a true-crime case, "Vengeance Is Mine" bares mankind's snarling id. "Vengeance Is Mine" was Imamura's biggest boxoffice hit in Japan and abroad, garnering acclaim and awards from around the world. In a new, restored high-definition digital transfer.

"Tex Avery's Droopy Dog: The Complete Theatrical Collection" is a two-disc set with 24 remastered and unedited animated shorts by this master of the cartoon genre. Avery created or developed some of the most timeless characters in cartoon history -- Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Droopy Dog -- along with the inimitable catchphrase "What's up, doc?" According to the Wikipedia entry for Avery, he "encouraged animators to stretch the boundaries of the medium to do things in a cartoon that could not be done in the world of live-action film. An often-quoted line about Avery's cartoons was, 'In a cartoon you can do anything,' and his cartoons often did just that." Extras in the $26.99 set include "Droopy and Friends: A Laugh Back" documentary retrospective featuring highlights of Tex Avery's iconic character and band of regular misfits, "Doggone Gags" montage of great moments from the Droopy series, culled together in the fashion of a gag reel, from Warner.
