Winner of the top prize at last year's Cannes Film Festival, this acclaimed Romanian drama, set in 1987 (during the final years of Nicolae Ceausescu's repressive regime), follows a university student (Anamaria Marinca) who helps her roommate (Laura Vasiliu) arrange an illegal abortion. In Romanian with English subtitles. (113 minutes.) Part of the CineVegas screening series at Neonopolis. NR; graphic and disturbing images, nudity, profanity.
MARRIED LIFE
Set in the late '40s, this romantic quadrangle focuses on a suburban stockbroker (Chris Cooper) who'd rather get rid of his wife (Patricia Clarkson) than deal with fallout from his affair with a young war widow (Rachel McAdams).

David Schwimmer ("Friends' " once-and-forever Ross) makes his big-screen directorial debut. At multiple locations. (100 minutes.) PG-13; rude and sexual humor, nudity, profanity, smoking.
STOP-LOSS
"Boys Don't Cry" director Kimberly Peirce returns with this drama about troubled Iraq war veterans (Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt) struggling to readjust to Stateside life -- until one of them is ordered back to battle, despite the fact his enlistment is up. At multiple locations. (113 minutes.) R; graphic violence, pervasive profanity.
SUPERHERO MOVIE
The "Scary Movie" folks take on another ripe-for-parody genre with this tale of a high school loser (Drake Bell) who's bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly and becomes a costumed crime fighter, complete with too-tight tights. Spoof veteran Leslie Nielsen, Leslie Paxton, Christopher McDonald and Marion Ross co-star. At multiple locations. (85 minutes.) PG-13; crude and sexual content, comic violence, drug references, profanity.
