A&E

INVASION: What looked like a promising gritty war film with aliens underwhelms in almost every way.

FUN: While not a good fighting game, the latest “Dissidia” is full of content that makes it enjoyable.

FOLK: The Dodos’ fourth album mixes dark and light, expanding from their usual heavy sound.

Just beyond the Santa Ana Artist Village Art Walk, still in earshot of a crooning street performer’s acoustic rendition of Bobby Freeman’s “Do You Wanna Dance” and right behind a sign that proudly declares the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art admission-free, the OCCCA held a reception this past Saturday for “Wide Angle View,” an exhibit on photojournalism.

RENEWAL: The remaining members of Oasis, now Beady Eye, do solid work with their debut album.

DEPP: “Rango” tells the tale of a chameleon stranded in Nevada trying to save a ghost town from collapsing.
