OPENING THIS WEEK

Alfie
No doubt what this Alfie is all about—Jude Law's charm, squandered in every frame of this gummy remake.

The Incredibles
The sleek beauty, crafty wit, family warmth, and impeccable slapstick suffusing The Incredibles immediately vaults it to a new, higher level of entertainment.

Fade to Black
Jay-Z's concert documentary about his MSG farewell is much better than a Behind the Music episode, even if it's no Monterey Pop.

Callas Forever
Jeremy Irons is his usual engagingly awkward self as a manager in the punk-rocking seventies trying to coax reclusive opera legend Maria Callas (Fanny Ardant) back into the limelight.

Herod's Law
A Mexican satire that charts the downfall of a kind-hearted Everyman recruited to be the mayor of a corrupt forties town.

Bear Cub
A coy, sentimental comedy-drama about a 9-year-old boy being cared for by his uncle.

Still, the Children are Here
A documentary-style film set among the Garos of Meghalaya, a remote society of rice farmers in Northeast India.
