CAPSULES

'Food, Inc.'

(Eric Schlosser, Michael Pollan, Barbara Kowalcyk) This documentary explores the nasty inner workings of the business of the food industry, with enough cruelty-to-animals and horrible toxins/chemicals material to make you never want to eat again. There are a few heavy-handed segments (a food activist's son dying from E. coli is sad, yes, but a bit overplayed), but the end result is a compelling work that gets you thinking. Rated PG.

'The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3'

(Denzel Washington, John Travolta, John Turturro) A New York City dispatcher (Washington) talks to the hijacker (Travolta) of a subway train who's demanding $10 million. If the city doesn't pay, hostages will die. Director Tony Scott's ("Man on Fire") trademark kinetic energy is here, but the story is too unfocused and Travolta's villain is a total bust. Rated R.

'Land of the Lost'

(Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride) On a routine expedition, Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell), his assistant (Friel) and a novelty store owner (McBride) travel through a time portal to a land in which past, present and future converge. There are a few good laughs, but it's not cheesy enough to be kitschy-good and the story is a mess. Based on the Sid & Marty Krofft television show. Rated PG-13.
