Josh Brolin impersonating Tommy Lee Jones is worth the price of admission to “Men in Black 3.” Dry, drawling, deadpan – he nails the flinty Texan in this sentimental sequel to the sci-fi comedies about secret agents who save the world from aliens.

The true crime story is a staple of TV and publishing, but only rarely inspires movies. How lucky we are that Richard Linklater bucked that trend to make “Bernie,” a one-of-a-kind comedy based on the real homicide of an innocent old lady.

The years, gray hairs and wrinkles fade away from Johnny Depp and Michelle Pfeiffer, and the cobwebs are brushed off “Dark Shadows” in Tim Burton’s campy and dark take on the late 1960s vampire soap opera.
