Alice in Wonderland—Will Johnny Depp do for Lewis Carroll’s Mad Hatter what he did for that Disney theme park ride? Depp’s Jack Sparrow is one of the most deliciously flamboyant, androgynous, and over-the-top characters in film history, and with Depp in the role, something tells me we might get more of the same here. Tim Burton’s cast also includes partner Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and gay favorite Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Expect this film to dominate the box office for weeks.

Brooklyn’s Finest—Training Day director Antoine Fuqua has assembled an all-star cast including Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, and Ethan Hawke for his latest film, a gritty crime drama that weaves the three stories of unconnected cops together in a Crash-like fashion. Wesley Snipes appears in a supporting role ... his first film to make it to theaters since 2004’s Blade: Trinity.
