THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (R): The thing we keep hearing about this horror picture — in which five friends stumble onto something really scary in the eponymous location — is that the less you know in advance, the better. Directed by Drew Goddard (“Lost”) and written by Joss Whedon (“The Avengers”), so you know you’re in for something weird. We mean that as a compliment.
LOCKOUT (PG-13): Guy Pearce is a convicted felon offered a pardon and freedom if he can rescue the president’s kidnapped daughter. Also, this all happens in outer space.
THE THREE STOOGES (PG): Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso are Larry, Moe and Curly in this big-screen revival of the antics of the slap-happy idiots. Directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly.
