American Pie 2 Same old gang, new gross-out jokes. Not as sweet nor as filling as the first Pie. (R)
Apocalypse Now Redux This summer's best movie is director Francis Ford Coppola's recut version, with new footage, of his 1979 fever dream about the Vietnam War. It now runs for a brilliant 3 hours and 16 minutes. (R)
John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars More stupefying than scary. In a sci-fi thriller set in 2176 on the Red Planet, a cop (Natasha Henstridge) teams with a criminal (Ice Cube) against violent killers who look like refugees from a heavy-metal band. (R)
Rat Race Goofy, silly fun, especially after this summer's dismal offerings. Contestants (including Jon Lovitz and Whoopi Goldberg) take part in a wacky race to win $2 million. (PG-13)
