At the theatre: Aliens, lawyers, all that jazz
"The Lincoln Lawyer"
plays Thursday and Friday,
April 21 - 22.
Mickey Hailer (Matthew
McConaughey) is a Los An-
geles criminal defense attor-
ney who operates out of the
back of his Lincoln Conti-
riental sedan. Haller has
spent most of his career de-
fending garden-variety crim-
inals, until he lands the case
of a lifetime: defending a
Beverly Hills playboy ac-
cused of murder. But the
seemingly straightforward
case suddenly develops into
a deadly game of survival for
Haller. "The Lincoln
Lawyer" is based on the best-
selling crime novel of the
same name by Michael Con-
nelly and it offers Mc-
Conaughey one of the best
roles of his career.
This ll9-minute drama is
rated R for some violence,
sexual content and language.

"Mars Needs Moms"
plays Saturday - Monday,
April 23 - 25
Take out the trash, eat
your broccoli -- who needs
moms, anyway? Nine-year-
old Milo (Seth Green) finds
out just how much he needs
his morn (Joan Cusack)
when she's nabbed by Mar-
tians who plan to steal her
mom-ness for their own
young.
Produced by the team be-
hind Disney's "A Christmas
Carol" and "The Polar Ex-
press," "Mars Needs Moms"
showcases Milo's quest to
save his morn -- a wild ad-
venture in Disney Digital 3D
and IMAX 3D that involves
towing away on a space-
ship, navigating an elabo-
rate, multi-level planet and
taking on the alien nation
and their leader. With the
help of a tech-savvy, under-
ground earthman named
Gribble and a rebel Martian
girl called Ki, Milo just
might find his way back to
his mom -- in more ways
than one. The film is based
on Berkeley Breathed's pic-
ture book of the same name.
This 88-minute family com-
edy adventure is rated PG
for sci-fi action and peril.

When Dorothy (played by
Claire Kepple) decides to run
away from home, little does
she know what her adven-
tures will bring. Landing in
Munchkinland and, literally,
"dropping in" on the Wicked
Witch of the East, she is
threatened by the witch's sis-
ter, the Wicked Witch of the
West (Kim Carroll) who is af-
ter the famed ruby slippers
that end up on Dorothy's
feet.
Glinda the Goo& Witch of
the North (Molly Adkins), a
talking Scarecrow (Jeff
Bryan), the heart-searching
Tinman (David Riley), and
the Cowardly Lion (Tanner
Johns) all try to help her find
the Wizard of Oz (Richard
Martinez) whom they hope
can save her from the witch
and send her back to Kansas.
Songs such as "Over the
Rainbow," "If I Only Had a
Brain," "Ding Dong, the
Witch is Dead," "Follow the
Yellow Brick Road" and
many more add to this de-
lightful tale of good over evil.

stretch of dirt road?
It has never been an-
swered, though I was provid-
ed with the total miles of dirt
roads, the total miles of
paved roads and the average
amount received for all
roads.
From back in the days
when I used to fall asleep
with my math books on my
nose, one usually began with
separate numbers which
were added then divided for
the average.
The average was not what
I was after, not with dirt and
paved roads all lumped to-

Seemed to me that sort of a
figure would have inflated
the value of the dirt road.
I was told the cost of the
road maintenance that so up-
set the two landowners and
rancher on the three proper-
ties directly affected amount-
ed to about $28,000.
So how many years' worth
of revenueis that? Am I the
only one who would think up
a question like that?
It just irks me that some-
one either won't or can't
simply break that dowri' for
me.
Instead all I get is a reply
about intrinsic value.
I really do have unending
curiosity in my nature; I
must turn things over like
jewels, studying every facet,
every flaw, every sparkle.
It's consuming, and I know
