Top 5 current movies
By TIMES CRITICS
Published April 26, 2007
TOP FIVE Current movies recommended by the Times: 1 Hot Fuzz - The creators of Shaun of the Dead blast holes in every buddy-cop movie cliche imaginable. 2 Grindhouse - Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's violent tribute to 1970s exploitation flicks is nasty, nostalgic and a lot of fun. 3 Fracture - Pairing old pro Anthony Hopkins and young phenom Ryan Gosling makes this thriller better than expected. 4 The Hoax - Literary con artist Clifford Irving (Richard Gere) sells a bogus autobiography of tycoon Howard Hughes. Catch him if you can. 5 The Lookout - Joseph Gordon-Levitt shines as a brain-damaged man lured into a bank robbery scheme. Familiar material (Fargo, Memento) gets a neat makeover.
