In theaters this weekend

Johnny Depp IS Rango: I am actually hearing some pretty good things about Johnny Depp IS Rango, and I think this one might be worth seeing. In this animated feature, Depp voices a chameleon who finds his own identity after being accustomed to blending in during his life as a household pet. And this role is so appropriate, too, because isn't that what Depp does, is completely blend in in his iconic performances? For example, there's the eccentric outsider pirate, the eccentric outsider candy factory owner, the eccentric outsider hat fanatic...

The Adjustment Bureau: Matt Damon and Emily Blunt find themselves in weird situations and end up running around a lot. What, don't I have the gist of it?

Beastly: Great, another version of "Beauty and the Beast," aimed at the youth crowd. OK, as long as they don't make a feature-length version of "Little Red Riding Hood" and promote the heck out of it and release it in a bunch of theaters.

Take Me Home Tonight: Comedy set in the 1980s, and judging from the reviews, that's about all it has going for it...and some of you might not even think that's such a big deal.
