New films out Friday

ALICE IN WONDERLAND — ★★★ — Tim Burton's version of the much-filmed Lewis Carroll tales is visually stunning but is as bizarre as anything he's done to date. Johnny Depp stars. Running time: 108 minutes; PG (violence, brief drugs, slurs, brief gore, mild vulgarity)

BLOOD INTO WINE — ★★★ — A messy but informative movie made about winemaking and musician Maynard James Keenan. Running time: 100 minutes; not rated, probable R (profanity, brief drugs, vulgarity, slurs, brief nudity)

BROOKLYN'S FINEST — ★½ — Ugliness adorns the cop picture cliches in this overlong "cops in crisis" thriller. Running time: 130 minutes; R (violence, gore, sex, nudity, drugs, profanity) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

THE GHOST WRITER — ★★★ — A decent little mystery-thriller with some smarts and a good cast. Ewan McGregor stars. Running time: 128 minutes; PG-13 (profanity, violence, brief nudity, brief sex, slurs, brief drugs, brief gore, torture, vulgarity)
