Films open the Friday following EW publication date unless otherwise noted. See archived reviews at www.eugeneweekly.com CONTINUING: Accepted: Putting the liberal in liberal arts, "B" Gaines (Justin Long) and friends open their own university.

Click: Christopher Walken gives Adam Sandler a truly universal remote: it lets him put the wife on fast forward, put the boss on pause, help the kid get even … until the remote goes all TiVo on him and starts making decisions on its own. PG-13. Movies 12. Descent, The: In this surprisingly well-reviewed film, something nasty attacks a group of women adventuring in Appalachian caves. Director Neil Marshall has said of his film, "It's a bit of a nod and a wink to Deliverance." R. Movies 12. Flyboys: James Franco (Spiderman) heads up a cast of chiseled young men playing the Lafayette Escadrille, a group of American pilots who flew for the French during WWI.

With Greg Kinnear and Elizabeth Banks. PG. Cinemark. Online archives. Jackass: Number Two: Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera and crew regroup for more nasty, brutal, naked, crude, snortingly funny pranks and stunts. Don't try this at home. R. Cinema World. Cinemark. See review this issue. Jet Li's Fearless: Supposedly, this is Jet Li's last martial arts film, but in a recent Entertainment Weekly, the action star mentioned working with Jackie Chan in the future. Either way, here Li plays legendary Huo Yuanjia, who became China's most famous fighter in the early 20th century. PG-13. Cinemark. See review this issue. Little Miss Sunshine: Directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton guide a stellar cast (particularly Paul Dano, Steve Carell and Abigail Breslin) through a quirky family trip on the road to the titular beauty pageant.

Bruce Willis, William Shatner and Steve Carrell are among those voicing critters. PG. Movies 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest: Johnny Depp reprises his role as over-the-top swashbuckler Jack Sparrow in the second Pirates film. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are the in-love eye candy. With Bill Nighy all betentacled as watery bad guy Davy Jones. PG-13. Cinemark. Online archives. School for Scoundrels: NYC meter "maid" Roger (Jon Heder) takes a confidence-building class led by Dr. P (Billy Bob Thornton). The surer of himself Roger becomes, the more competitive his instructor gets. PG-13. Cinema World. Cinemark. Science of Sleep, The: Director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) goes back into the human brain — this time exploring the largely interior life of Stéphane (Gael García Bernal), who mixes up dreams and reality.
