RANGO (Verbinski, 2011) - Tonally and narratively disjointed, sure, but pretty funny, and unexpectedly gorgeous. That pretty much sums this movie up: cohesive stories have never been Verbinski’s strength, but he knows how to use cinematic tropes and Johnny Depp, and he adds enough eccentric touches to keep me entertained - I can’t not have any affection for a guy who obviously loves Leone so much. Also, did you know Timothy Olyphant could do such a pitch-perfect Clint Eastwood? He certainly had me fooled…
