"Sex and the City" — The clothes! The shoes! The magical depiction of Manhattan and the promise of finally finding true romance! It's like porn for women. And we haven't even gotten to the sex part of the "Sex and the City" movie yet.

When Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie announces that she and Mr. Big (Chris Noth) are finally tying the knot, it brings the friends from the hit HBO series back together: Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall). Surprisingly, despite its obsession with all things Manolo Blahnik, "Sex and the City" also has its share of tearjerker moments. Parker is capable of visceral, heart-tugging vulnerability. And not to say too much, but she does get plenty of opportunities to display that side of her talent — especially with a running time that's well past two hours. (R) – Liberty Theatre

"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" — More is more in this follow-up to the 2005 fantasy hit "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe."

It's simultaneously darker and funnier, more substantive and more engaging, more violent and more technically accomplished.

You can't really call it a sequel because it's an adaptation of the second book in C.S. Lewis' series, but seeing its predecessor is a must to understand what's going on — and it'll make you appreciate how much better this movie is. (PG) – Neptune Theatre

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" — You see the hat before the hero — that famous fedora, the one that stays put through every tricky situation, or at least at arm's length for a hasty getaway. And, of course, he still has the whip, the paralysing fear of snakes and the catchy John Williams theme song that will surely gnaw at your brain for hours afterward.

Yes, the latest "Indiana Jones" movie dives headfirst into the iconography of the franchise, which will bring a smile to your face and warm you with nostalgia. It's admittedly a pleasure to see Harrison Ford back in the role; at 65, he's grizzled and lined but certainly up for the challenge. Once you get past the initial reintroduction, though, it's obvious that this fourth film in the Indy series really has no idea where to go. (PG-13) – Little Theatre
