ents. But her excuse spirals into a tale of “sexy Glade candles” and lost virginity. After that piece of gossip blankets the school, guys she doesn’t even know are suddenly bombarding Olive with atten- tion. But when she agrees to help a bul- lied gay friend by pretending to sleep with him, she learns that there’s a thin line be- tween sexy and slutty. (PG-13, 92 minutes) Contains mature thematic elements involv- ing teen sexuality, language and drug ma- terial. Area theaters.
BBTHE EXPENDABLES
This action thriller written and directed by Sylvester Stallone is designed to leave filmgoers feeling pummeled into submis- sion. Just when the film threatens to sink under its own weight, Terry Crews blows a guy’s brains out, silhouetted through a backlit doorway, and the entire groaning enterprise levitates on a ludicrous plume of pure camp. Stallone plays Barney Ross, leader of the titular gang of mercenaries with names like Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren); Crews himself plays Hale Cae- sar. Hired by a man named Mr. Church to unseat a despot in South America, Ross and the boys lay waste to everything they see: At one point Ross, after catching a seaplane, strafes and sets fire to a pier. Later, bullets, knives and bare hands fly as arms and body parts get thrown into the melee. Primarily, this movie is about bros and the bros who love them. (R, 103 minutes) Contains strong action and bloody violence throughout, and some profanity. At Hoyt’s West Nursery Cinema.
B1 ⁄2 FREAKONOMICS
Why does the new documentary based on Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner’s 2005 bestseller “Freakonomics” feel so familiar, even to those who haven’t read

it? Maybe it’s because of all those cock- tail-party conversations the book in- spired. At this point, who in Washington doesn’t feel like they’ve read it? Maybe it’s because the movie isn’t freakin’ freaky enough. It certainly comes with a pedi- gree. The omnibus documentary is a com- pendium of four “chapters,” each based on a section of the book and directed by a different hotshot documentarian, includ- ing Morgan Spurlock (“Super Size Me”), Alex Gibney (“Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room”), Eugene Jarecki (“Why We Fight”) and Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (“Jesus Camp”). There’s a certain obvi-
ousness to the movie that blunts some points made by Levitt and Dubner, who appear between segments in lively inter- views. (PG-13, 93 minutes) In English and some Japanese with English subtitles. Con- tains obscenity and scenes in a strip club. At Landmark’s E Street Cinema.
