Like Someone in Love. HHH½ (Wednesday only) Young Akiko becomes a call girl to raise a few bucks and develops a unique relationship with a would-be older client. Not rated.

Oblivion. HHH Tom Cruise plays a future military guy assigned to an outpost on some planet, and then he finds out a secret or something. Rated PG-13.
Scary Movie V. (No Roeper rating) Making fun of bad movies is a can’t-miss formula, as evidenced by the fact that there are now five of these things. Rated R.
Jurassic Park. HHHH (In digital 3-D with surcharge.) Spielberg’s 1993 neo-classic about a prehistoric zoo gone berserk is probably one of the better recent choices for a 3-D re-release. Rated PG-13.
