“Killers,” which I saw with a restful, smallish crowd late Friday morning, brings up a lot of intriguing questions. Here are 10:

Devotees of “Sex and the City” are hoping for something more or less like a wet dream. But Carrie Bradshaw & Co. return with nothing new to say. The sex is less frisky, the conversations more irreverent and crass, the relationships still, of course, tangled.

If you had a hot tub that could transport you to any era in time, would you really make a beeline for the 1980s?

“The Back-up Plan” gets sitcommy early and often, and just for good measure, throws in old TV favorites Tom Bosley and Linda Lavin in brief roles.

The problem with “It's Complicated,” a romantic comedy about the menopausal crowd starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, is that it's not nearly complicated enough.

In Steven Soderbergh's “Out of Sight,” George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez memorably created romantic sparks while huddled in the trunk of a car.

“Up in the Air” makes it look easy. Not just in its casual and apparently effortless excellence, but in its ability to blend entertainment and insight, comedy and poignancy, even drama and reality, things that are difficult by themselves but a whole lot harder in combination.

For the most romantic season of the year, “Valentine's Day” follows a group of people, whose paths crisscross and mesh together in one sickly sweet dose of Valentine's make-ups, break-ups, and painfully enduring relations.

We have reached a point in our movie-going-life where the two most horrifying words a studio can mutter are “Robin” and “Williams.” I'm sorry, it's true. Throw in “John” and “Travolta” and “Saw VI” starts to sound like “Bambi.”

Few cinematic pleasures are as sublime as George Clooney in full Clark Gable mode, as he is for much of the comedy “The Men Who Stare at Goats.”
