parties with the thespian seriousness of Daniel Day-Lewis. Ultimately, every “Toy Story” movie is not just about the film’s plot or narrative, but the stories the char- acters want to be in when Andy plays with them. It’s just this deep sense of longing that will bring adult viewers to that Disney-approved point of smiling even as they weep openly. (G, 103 minutes) Contains some themes that may be frighten- ing for the youngest viewers. Area theaters. — A.H.
BBBTHE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE
In this installment of the “Twilight” se- ries, 17-year-old heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) inches ever closer to becoming a vampire and joining her for- bidden love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pat- tinson). Bella is also being pursued by Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard), who is amassing an army of “newborn” vampires to wreak vengeance on Bella and the Cul- len clan. With all the talk about the Big Change to come and Bella longing for physical intimacy with Edward and Ed- ward valiantly resisting, the cardinal “Twilight” themes of longing, chastity and protection are stronger than ever. More deeply psychological than the first two, “Eclipse” goes further not just in ad- vancing the story but also illuminating the tension that Bella embodies — between autonomy and surrender — and clarifying her desire to become a bloodless being with no human connections. (PG-13, 121 minutes) Contains intense sequences of ac- tion and violence, and sensuality. Area theaters.

⁄2 THE WILDEST DREAM: CONQUEST OF EVEREST
In accordance with the laws of Imax, this film has all the goods one would expect from the title, including heart-palpitation- inducing vistas at 29,000 feet, imposing walls of ice and potentially deadly climbs. But the documentary also offers some- thing unexpected: a love triangle starring George Mallory, possibly the first man to summit Mount Everest in 1924, who found himself torn between his wife, Ruth, and another soul mate, the world’s tallest mountain. Mallory was last seen alive in June 1924, inching his way toward the summit before disappearing. Did he make it or didn’t he? The discovery of his body in 1999 by climber Conrad Anker offers clues that he did. The photo of Ruth, which he promised to leave at the peak, was nowhere to be found. But doubts remain. The documentary inter- twines the tale of Mallory’s quest with Anker’s pursuit to find the truth. (PG, 93 minutes) Contains a re-creation of George Mallory’s death and graphic discussions of frostbite and other mountain-related ail- ments. At the Samuel C. Johnson IMAX Theater — National Museum of Natural History.
BB1⁄2 WINTER’S BONE
Adapted from Daniel Woodrell’s novel, this movie limns the impoverished back- woods culture of the Ozark Mountains in southern Missouri, a landscape of drug labs, rural detritus and foreclosed hopes. Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence), 17, is try- ing to keep her fragile household togeth- er, taking care of her younger siblings, as well as her invalid mother. Her father, Jes- sup, has been away for weeks when a sheriff arrives to tell her that he was ar- rested for cooking meth and has put the family’s house up as bond. He’s due in court, and if Ree can’t find him, she’ll lose her home and her family will be torn apart. Co-written and directed by Debra Granik, “Winter’s Bone” teeters uncom- fortably between patronizing its hard-bit- ten characters and romanticizing their folkways, from the gorgeous musical in- terludes that punctuate the film to their terse rhetorical flourishes. (R, 100 min- utes) Contains drug material, profanity and violence. At AMC Loews Shirlington and Cinema Arts Theater.
