Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (PG-13)

Birth (R)
In the continuing trend of movies with creepy kids, Birth is about a young widow, Anna (Nicole Kidman), about to marry her second husband when she meets a dead-serious 10-year-old boy who claims to be the reincarnation of her first. Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast) directs the screenplay by Jean-Claude Carriere and Milo Addica.

Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason (R)
The first Bridget Jones movie was charmingly foible-filled, from Bridget’s drunken attempts at karaoke during the office party to the unforgettable fire pole scene. Renee Zellweger packed on a few pounds and aced her role as the quirky Brit chick. The sequel is sure to see Bridg through more hysterical embarrassment and romantic blunders while choosing between her two cute British blokes played by Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell (sigh).

These days, it seems to be a requirement for Hollywood’s A-listers to lend their voice to animated films—or maybe they are all just sick of the Zone diet. Anyhow, Pixar has done it again, rounding up Holly Hunter, Jason Lee, and Samuel L. Jackson for the hero-packed adventure. The plot follows Bob Parr, a former superhero known as “Mr. Incredible,” who moves to the ‘burbs for a normal life with the wife and kids.
