LOS ANGELES - Woody Harrelson wants the windows down. "Do you mind if we go old style on this? I don't like air conditioning." The journalist at the wheel of the Honda Accord jabs a button and the famous passenger gets a face full of Sunset Strip. Harrelson is used to breathing in paradise - he lives in Maui most of the time - but even West Hollywood tastes sweet when you feel like you're smothering. "Yeah," the 50-year-old star said, "that's better already."

"Safe House" is solid evidence of mind-body duality. This overproduced spy thriller never really seized my imagination, but it kept my knee jiggling nervously for 115 minutes.

What a difference five years can make. For Paige (Rachel McAdams), it meant a new life free from her rich, controlling parents, free-spirited new friends, a loving marriage to Leo (Channing Tatum), and a promising career as a sculptor. Then she loses her memory after a car crash, and without those experiences, who is she?

They split in 2008, but apparently Madonna stayed married to director Guy Ritchie just long enough to absorb his most grating cinematic instincts - shooting in every style, in an addled, shuffle-mode, falsely glamorizing way until all is chaos. And, astonishingly, boredom.

Early on in the derivative but fairly absorbing blur titled "Safe House," set in Cape Town, South Africa, Denzel Washington's Tobin Frost, a spy in from the cold, is brought to a Central Intelligence Agency safe house so that he can be asked a few questions about the super-secret intel he has in his possession. Wordlessly, Washington sits in a chair, as a supporting player (Robert Patrick) prepares for the waterboarding, and in one five-second progression Washington smiles, drops his head, lifts it back up - and his face has morphed into that of a man who has killed and will be killing again very soon.

Do whatever necessary to avoid "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," a quasi-sequel to the 2008 release "Journey to the Center of the Earth." It's a monumental failure because of clunky acting, an uninspired story, not-so-special effects and flat 3-D.
