Lite at the end of the tunnel?

By PETER KEOUGH  |  December 30, 2009

MARCH
More cops are on the case in BROOKLYN'S FINEST (March 5), Antoine Fuqua's thriller about disparate cops whose lives collide at a crime scene. Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, and Ethan Hawke star. Also returning to the scene of the crime is ALICE IN WONDERLAND (March 5), in which director Tim Burton imagines the return visit of the heroine, now age 19; Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway join her down the rabbit hole. What she finds there couldn't be any stranger than GREEN ZONE (March 12), Paul Greengrass's adaptation of Rajiv Chandresekaran's non-fiction book Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone, with Matt Damon and Brendan Gleeson.

Well, if Obama hasn't solved that mess by this time, we might have to resort again to Mount Olympus — or Valhalla. Louis Leterrier remakes CLASH OF THE TITANS (March 26), the 1981 fantasy about Zeus's son's crusade against the underworld, with Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, and Sam Worthington. If that fails, you might have to learn HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (March 26); it's an animated comedy from Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders about Vikings and the mythic saurians featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, and America Ferrera.
