Friday’s mainstream opening: Thar she blows!

Dan Webster

It's funny when December arrives, and we're all occupied with holiday preparations, that some of the biggest movies arrive to tantalize us. Then again, it's even funnier when certain December weeks arrive and only a single new mainstream feature opens. That's the case this week.

Friday's movie opening is as follows:

"In the Heart of the Sea" (in 3-D and regular): Ron Howard gives us a sea saga based on the actual story that served as the basis for Herman Melville's 1851 novel "Moby-Dick; Or, The Whale." In other words, a thar-she-blows tale in which Thor (Chris Hemsworth) trades his hammer for a harpoon.

I'll post the Magic Lantern openings, plus any additions/changes, when I can.
