Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements including a nude image and brief violent content. 1 hour, 55 minutes. — S.T. (Reviewed March 25, 2011) Rango --(Century 20) Young’uns will take a shine to the hero of “Rango� — a chameleon that’s part Kermit the Frog, part street-corner kook (and all Johnny Depp). The film begins with the wild-eyed chameleon, a legend in his own mind whose play-acting is contained within the glass walls of a terrarium. A spill onto a desert highway forces the lizard out of his comfort zone. A couple of Hunter S. Thompson allusions later, the Hawaiian-shirt-clad hero wanders into the desert and arrives at the depressed town of Dirt. Given the opportunity to reinvent himself, the chameleon bluffs a heroic persona, calling himself “Rango.� Since Dirt is in the midst of a water shortage, a hero fills a vital need. “People have to believe in something,� says the turtle Mayor (Ned Beatty), who appoints Rango sheriff. The comedy comes from the chameleon’s ironically dubious adaptability and unearned confidence. Rated PG for rude humor, language, action and smoking. 1 hour, 47 minutes. — P.C. (Reviewed March 4, 2011) Win Win --(Century 20, Guild) When we meet lawyer Mike Flaherty (Paul Giamatti), he appears to be a born loser. His aging client base is shrinking, his office duplex is giving him $6,000 worth of plumbing agita, and the wrestling team he coaches is logy and uninspired. Everything changes when Mike sees an opportunity to bring in some extra scratch by becoming the legal guardian of one of his clients, an elderly and mentally deteriorating man named Leo Poplar (Burt Young). This way, Mike can move Leo into a rest home that can shoulder the responsibility for daily care, occasionally check in, and collect a cool $1,500 a month. A curveball arrives in the form of 16-year-old Kyle Timmons (Alex Shaffer), here to crash with his Grandpa Leo. Rated R for language. 1 hour, 46 minutes. — P.C. (Reviewed April 1, 2011) Your Highness -(Century 16, Century 20) James Franco plays the ever-questing Fabious, first-born son of the king (Charles Dance) and des-

tined to rule the land. First, he’s to marry his sweetheart Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), with Fabious’ younger brother Thadeous (Danny McBride) lined up as best man. Undistinguished by quests, Thadeous is a jealous stoner layabout, but he gets more than he bargained for when he becomes part of a quest to rescue Belladonna, who is kidnapped from the wedding by dastardly

wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux). Natalie Portman turns up along the quest’s long road, as a woman warrior subjected to ogling and advances from Thadeous. Rated R for strong crude and sexual content, pervasive language, nudity, violence and some drug use. 1 hour, 42 minutes. — P.C. (Reviewed April 8, 2011)
