Fridays openings: Dinosaurs and rock music

Dan Webster

We're firmly ensconced in the summer movie season now, which means that the parade of blockbuster wannabes just keeps marching on. The latest on Friday features a continuing series involving killer dinosaurs.

Friday's mainstream openings are as follows (including the openings, AMC will reopen the kids movie "Paddington" as part of its AMC Cares Summer Throwbacks program): 

"Jurassic World" (in 3D, 3D IMAX and regular): Chris Pratt stars in this reboot of the Steven Spielberg-originated series about human arrogance and the dangers of DNA engineering. But, then, I'm no scientist.

"Love & Mercy": This narrative film is based on the life of Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson, whose lapse into emotional turbulence was controversially guided by therapist Eugene Landy. Listen, is that pet sounds we hear? 

"Lambert & Stamp": James D. Cooper's documentary examines the ties between a pair of would-be filmmakers and the quartet of musicians who would become known as The Who. The kids are all right, you know.

That's the lot. I'll post news of the Magic Lantern later. So anyway, go. See a movie. And enjoy.
