BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER

America's love affair with steroids (and, more personally, filmmaker Chris Bell's family experience as his brothers used steroids in hopes of becoming professional wrestlers) inspires this acclaimed documentary, which explores the chemical underbelly of American sport -- and the all-American emphasis on winning, regardless of cost. At Village Square. (105 minutes.) PG-13; thematic material involving drugs, profanity, sexual content and violence.

THE X-FILES: I WANT TO BELIEVE

In this sequel to their first 1998 big-screen adventure (not to mention the cult-fave TV series that left the airwaves in 2002), FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) reteam for another investigation into the unknown; mercifully, director (and series creator) Chris Carter promises a stand-alone scarefest reminiscent of some of the series' classic episodes. We want to believe ... At multiple locations. (104 minutes.) PG-13; violent and disturbing content, mature themes.
