'Annapolis'
![Neither lagging military recruitment nor movie attendance is likely to be helped by "Annapolis," a by-the-numbers underdog drama set at the storied U.S. Naval Academy in the Maryland port of the title. James Franco stars as Jake Huard, an Annapolis shipyard worker who rivets by day and hoists beers with his laborer buddies at night, but has long harbored a notion that he belongs at the imposing military institution just across the water.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-01/21638728.jpg "Neither lagging military recruitment nor movie attendance is likely to be helped by "Annapolis,\" a by-the-numbers underdog drama set at the storied U.S. Naval Academy in the Maryland port of the title.

'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning'
!["Meat's meat and bone is bone," proclaims Hoyt (R. Lee Ermey) as he prepares a particularly gory repast. The makers of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" take a similarly elemental approach to the revived franchise's latest installment. There's hardly a body part that isn't mangled or lopped off, ground up or sliced through. Although it's billed as a prequel to the 2003 remake, "Beginning" owes much to the brutal brilliance of Tobe Hooper's 1974 original (pointedly unmentioned in the new movie's press kit). This is not a slick, jokey horror movie in the post-"Scream" mold, but a genuine attempt to strip the coating from the audience's nerves. It's nasty and brutish, if not particularly short.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-10/25768864.jpg ""Meat's meat and bone is bone,\" proclaims Hoyt (R.

'D.E.B.S.'
Times Staff WriterIronic sampling is par for the course in teen comedies today, especially when the comedy in question draws its humor from the stylistic conventions of silly movies and television shows created before we were all postmodern.
