Friday’s openings: Football, cave-ins and Christmas
Note: This post originally listed another movie opening at the Magic Lantern. As noted below, the schedule has been changed.
Another week and another collection of big-screen openings is set to grace the area's screens. Friday's openings are as follows:
"My All American": When a smallish-but-disciplined football player gets injured, he faces the biggest fight of his life. From the same writer who gave us "Rudy," which should come as no surprise.
"The 33": Based on a true story, which occurred following a 2010 cave-in, three dozen and three Chilean miners find themselves trapped 700 meters underground. An international team of experts works on their rescue — an effort that could teach Congress a thing or two.
"Suffragette": Carey Mulligan stars as a young English working woman who sacrifices much to win women the right to vote. Leading, of course, to a terrific David Bowie song.
"Love the Coopers": Four generations of a family gather for Christmas, and unexpected occurrences lead to the expected. A, uh, happy ending?
And at the Magic Lantern?
"We Come As Friends": A documentary filmmaker examine life in Sudan before the country's 2011 partition. Bring your outrage.
