Rated PG-13. 109 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING A movie about Stephen Hawking ought to be bursting with ideas. What director James Marsh has come up with is a nicely crafted, watchable, but conventionally structured romantic biopic. An Oscar nominee for best picture, its secret weapon is Eddie Redmayne (nominee for best actor), who is brilliant in his transformation into the gnarled, twisted physical wreck of the Hawking we know, body confined to a wheelchair, voice produced by a machine. What we miss is the excitement of Hawking’s mind, soaring through time and space. Costar Felicity Jones is a nominee for best actress. Rated PG-13. 123 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. ( Jonathan Richards) UNBROKEN Angelina Jolie is back in the director’s chair to tell the true story of Louis Zamperini ( Jack O’Connell), the Olympic runner who survived a plane crash in World War II, 47 days on a life raft, and over two years of abusive treatment in Japanese POW camps. Rated PG-13. 137 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed) WILD In 1995, inexperienced hiker and camper Cheryl Strayed strapped on a backpack and covered 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. This moving, ruggedly beautiful adaptation of her memoir — starring Reese Witherspoon (Oscar nominee for best actress) — seems destined for similar success. Director Jean-Marc Vallée and cinematographer Yves Bélanger capture scenery and settings with deft camerawork, and the storytelling is honest, vivid, and nonjudgmental, if sometimes a bit too on the nose. Rated R. 115 minutes. Regal DeVargas, Santa Fe. (Laurel Gladden) THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH In this follow-up to a mildly popular movie of 2012, it’s the middle of World War II, and children are brought from London to a haunted mansion where the ghostly gal of the title gets a chance to scream at them from random corners of darkened rooms. Rated PG-13. 98 minutes. Regal Stadium 14, Santa Fe; DreamCatcher, Española. (Not reviewed)
