Here's my nomination for future grindhouse double-bill from hell: Pathfinder and Apocalypto. Pathfinder, a tale of Vikings clashing with North American Indians, is hackwork that's heavy on the hack. Although it's based on a highly regarded 1987 Norwegian movie of the same name, derived from a Lapland legend, this movie simply pumps out the gore in heavy slashes, video-game style, for testosterone-crazed teens who lap it up. Pathfinder (20th Century Fox) Starring Karl Urban, Russell Means, Moon Bloodgood, Clancy Brown.

There are worse things than watching a second Garfield movie. I just can't think of them now. Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties is tedious almost beyond endurance, an exercise in diminishing returns that takes the minor pleasures of the first film (so minor that none of them comes to mind, either) and makes believe the public is desperately clamoring for more. They aren't, and this film explains why. Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (20th Century Fox) Starring Breckin Meyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, voice of Bill Murray.

Two weeks ago, movie crews snarled downtown Baltimore, but Tuesday saw a pleasant addition to the street scene - and it's here to stay for a couple of weeks. 20th Century Fox draped a banner above the intersection of Light and Lee streets reading "Live Free or Die Hard - It's a Wrap! The Movie Thanks Baltimore For Your Patience and Cooperation During Our Filming Here." "The banner was something [the movie company] wanted to do," said a delighted Hannah Lee Byron of the Baltimore City Film Office.

AMC tonight offers viewers the chance to second-guess one of the legendary Hollywood moguls.Thanks to a relentless quest to make his studio's films shorter, 20th Century Fox head Darryl F. Zanuck saw to it that dozens of musical numbers were trimmed from such films as "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "There's No Business Like Show Business." After all, what better way to shorten a musical than by simply cutting a number or two?Many of those deleted sequences have survived, however, and a dozen or so are featured in "Hidden Hollywood: Treasures From the 20th Century Fox Film Vaults" (8 p.m.-9 p.m.)
