DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE — *** 1/2— Frederic March plays both characters in this effective, 1931 version of the much-filmed tale. Black and white, running time: 98 minutes, made before ratings, probable PG (violence) (Tonight, 7 p.m.: Museum of Art, Brigham Young University, Provo)

THE KING OF KINGS *** — Cecil B. De Mille's occasionally overwrought 1927 epic telling of the life of Jesus is also surprisingly moving. Live musical accompaniment, black and white, running time: 115 minutes, made before ratings, probable PG (violence) (Thursday, 7:30 p.m. Organ Loft)

MEXICAN FILM AND CULTURAL FESTIVAL — Local Hispanic businesses and groups are co-sponsoring this four-day event featuring dance and music performances, as well as screenings of such films as "El Violin" and "La Zona."

WALLACE & GROMIT: THE CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT — *** 1/2— Despite some questionable humor, this Oscar-winning, 2005 horror-spoof is a welcome return for the clay-animated, human-and-dog duo. Running time: 95 minutes, G (vulgarity, violence, mild profanity, brief partial nudity) (Saturday, 1 p.m.: Peery's Egyptian Theater, Ogden)

LARGE-FORMAT FILMS

DEEP SEA 3-D — *** — This entertaining documentary is an up-close look at various forms of aquatic life. Running time: 40 minutes, G (animal violence)

DINOSAURS 3-D: GIANTS OF PATAGONIA — *** — The makers of this IMAX science film get us about as close as we'd ever want to be to these enormous creatures. Running time: 48 minutes, not rated, probable PG (violence) — Jeff Strickler, Star-Tribune (Minneapolis)
