“THE WOLF OF WALL STREET’’:
Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin
Scorsese earned much praise - and a
public rebuke from the daughter of one
of the real-life subject’s financial victims - in their fifth screen teaming, a
lengthy and colorfully edgy portrait of
Jordan Belfort, a financial wizard who
satisfied his many vices to excess while
convincing others to put their monetary
faith in him. Jonah Hill is excellent as
Belfort’s principal partner in scheming;
Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler,
Rob Reiner, Margot Robbie, Jon Favreau,
Jean Dujardin (“The Artist’’) and Cristin
Milioti (“How I Met Your Mother’’) also
are featured. *** (R: AS, N, P, V)
“DELIVERY MAN’’: The title works
two ways for Vince Vaughn’s character in this moderately entertaining seriocomic tale of an ex-sperm donor, many
of whose progeny want to know who
their father is. He has quite a few of
them, too ... more than 500, making him
panicked when about one-third of them
take legal steps to determine his identity.
Eventually, though, the fact he’s having a
child with his girlfriend (Cobie Smulders,
“How I Met Your Mother’’) prompts him
to look into the lives of some of those he
already has sired. Chris Pratt (“Parks and
Recreation’’) and Britt Robertson (“Life
Unexpected’’) also appear in the film, a
remake by director Ken Scott of his own
movie “Starbuck.’’ DVD extras: deleted
scene; outtakes. *** (PG-13: AS, P, V)

“WALKING WITH DINOSAURS’’:
Though the title is a brand name thanks to
the long-popular BBC-made documentary series, this family-friendly film goes its
own way, putting a story to its visuals of
computer-generated creatures set against
real backdrops. Justin Long voices a
young dinosaur who struggles to make

his way through an often harsh prehistoric world, with a bird (voiced by John
Leguizamo) as his principal companion.
The picture still strives to be educational
by identifying the species of different
characters, which interrupts the narrative
flow though it’s well-intentioned. Karl
Urban (“Star Trek’’) is featured in liveaction sequences. *** (PG: AS)
“ODD THOMAS’’: A Dean Koontz suspense novel is the source of this melodrama with Anton Yelchin (“Star Trek’’)
as the title character, a short-order cook
who has the “Sixth Sense’’ gift - or curse,
depending on your view - of being able
to see dead people. They’re a malevolent bunch with sinister intentions, so he
enlists his girlfriend (Addison Timlin,
“Zero Hour’’) and the local sheriff
(Willem Dafoe) to help him save their
town. Patton Oswalt and 50 Cent also
appear for director-screenwriter Stephen
Sommers (“The Mummy’’). ** (Not
rated: AS, P, V)
