He struggles at first, but finds a new path to glory and honor when he signs on for the school's competitive boxing program. "Annapolis" co-stars Jordana Brewster, Donnie Wahlberg and Tyrese Gibson.

• Big Momma's House 2 (2006) (PG-13) — A return engagement for Martin Lawrence as the comedy-prone FBI agent named Malcolm Turner, once again undercover while disguised as a corpulent and mouthy septugenarian known as Big Momma. Nia Long also rejoins the cast, and John Whitesell directed.

• Bubble (2006) (R: Violence, dark themes, drug use and adult language). Director Steven Soderbergh ("Oceans 12") enlists a group of amateur actors for this small-scale murder mystery set in a poor working town. The film, the first salvo in his effort to release films simultaneously in theaters, on cable and on DVD, follows a trio of doll factory workers whose lives intersect with tragic consequences.

• Cache (2005) (R ) — Also known as "Hidden," this suspense thriller from the German writer-director Michael Haneke co-stars two of France's best actors, Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche, as an endangered husband and wife. A TV talk show host, Mr. Auteuil becomes aware that someone has him under persistent and intimate surveillance.

• Nanny McPhee (2006) (PG) — Emma Thompson tries on an identity in the Mary Poppins tradition while adapting one of Christinna Brand's "Nurse Matilda" books for young people and playing the starring role. A governess with magic powers, Nanny McPhee is hired by a widower, Colin Firth, with seven bratty kids. Nanny's own appearance has a way of changing as she changes the brood's behavior patterns. With Angela Lansbury in her first movie role in many years. Directed by Kirk Jones of "Waking Ned Devine."

• Roving Mars (2006) (G) — ***. A new Imax featurette that summarizes the building and deployment of the remarkable robot explorers Spirit and Opportunity that made successful landings on Mars two years ago. The subject merits a more expansive running time than 40 minutes, but what's there is choice. Exclusively at the National Air and Space Museum's Imax theaters at Independence Avenue and Sixth Street SW and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly.
