ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Even by director Tim Burton’s typically surreal standards, this movie of what happens when 19-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) returns to the magical land she visited as a child looks pretty trippy. Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter is the Red Queen, Michael Sheen is the White Rabbit and Alan Rickman is the Caterpillar. Oh, and the whole thing is in 3-D. OK, we’re sold. (PG for fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar.) http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/aliceinwonderland/
Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans. In Werner Herzog’s new film, Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is to scoring drugs all while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, he becomes an addict who is also a fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (Eva Mendes). (R for drug use and language throughout, some violence and sexuality.) http://www.badlt.com/
