Film
A night at the movies
By Times Staff Writer
Published December 28, 2006
No new films will open in Tampa Bay area movie theaters this weekend. These are the five current movies most highly recommended by St. Petersburg Times critics. 1 Rocky Balboa S ylvester Stallone brings terrific closure to the boxing saga. Almost as good as the 1976 original. 2 The History Boys The Tony Award-winning play goes to the movies with its original cast and wit intact. 3 Apocalypto Mel Gibson's ultraviolent historical epic establishes him as a filmmaker whose creative instincts are beyond question. 4 Dreamgirls A star is born (Jennifer Hudson) and another reborn (Eddie Murphy) in a fine adaptation of the Broadway smash. 5 The Good Shepherd Strong performances anchor an otherwise chilly and lengthy spy drama directed by Robert De Niro.
