‘Christmas Carol in 3D'

Showtimes: 1:45, 4:15, 7 and 9:15 p.m. today through Thursday at the Skyline Cinema, Dillon

The time, not just the season, is ripe for a new version of “A Christmas Carol.” When Charles Dickens wrote his classic story, it was a cautionary tale to greedy capitalists of the 19th century (Scrooge recalls his deceased partner, Jacob Marley, as “a good man of business”). Dickens' story is about as sturdy a one as we've got — it would be nearly impossible to mar what might be the finest ghost story this side of “Hamlet.” Unfortunately, our 2009 version is defined only by its technology. Animated in 3-D, Disney's “A Christmas Carol,” directed by Robert Zemeckis, suffocates from its design. Despite (or because of) Zemeckis' approach to using performance-capture animation, the film comes off oddly inanimate. Jim Carrey, playing not just Scrooge but the three ghosts who visit him, clearly has the zest and range for the parts. But he — like the rest of the cast, including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and Cary Elwes — struggles to break through the film's excessive wizardry. PG for scary sequences and images. Running time: 95 minutes.

‘2012'

Showtimes: 1:15, 1:30, 4:45, 5, 8:15 and 8:30 p.m. today through Thursday at the Skyline Cinema, Dillon

An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

‘Men Who Stare at Goats'

Showtimes: 1:45, 4:15, 7 and 9:15 p.m. today through Thursday at the Skyline Cinema, Dillon

A fun tone is undermined by disjointed storytelling in George Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov's romp based on Jon Ronson's amusing nonfiction book about the U.S. military's research into psychic warfare and espionage. First-time director Heslov crafts a hit-and-miss fictional narrative ornamented with some of the brighter anecdotes Ronson uncovered about efforts to create warrior monks who try to walk through walls or glare animals to death. Clooney plays a prodigy of this New Age militarism, with Jeff Bridges as his Dude-like mentor, Kevin Spacey as a psychic rival and Ewan McGregor as a reporter uncovering the story amid the war in Iraq. The movie opens with the promise of a Catch-22 or Strangelove-style satire, but while it maintains much of the book's drolly incredulous spirit, the dots of absurdity just don't connect that well. With “Star Wars” vet McGregor on hand, the repeated Jedi knight references are jarring. R for language, some drug content and brief nudity. 93 minutes.
