Friday’s openings II: Hockey and holiness

Dan Webster

We've already covered the film that will be opening Friday at the Magic Lantern. But what do mainstream movie fans have to look forward to? Well, along with the usual mix of sci-fi and contemporary gunplay, we have a religious study and a documentary about the former Soviet Union's legendary hockey squad.

Friday's openings are as follows:

"Insurgent" (IMAX 3D, 3D and regular): This sequel to last year's "Divergent" stars Shailene Woodley as a teen who helps lead a rebellion against a tyrannical society. Can you spell dystopia?

"Red Army": They were the best Olympic hockey team in the world, winning three gold medals and eight world championships between 1978 and 1992, even though they did lose to a group of hungry Americans in 1980. Their story is a little more dramatic than you might think.

"The Gunman": Sean Penn stars as the title character, a former assassin who returns to the scene of one particular crime and finds himself the hunted. What, Liam Neeson wasn't available?

"Do You Believe?": A group of people learns that faith calls for action. Hey, what's Brian Bosworth doing in this movie?

So go see a movie. And, if you can, try to enjoy.
