Friday’s mainstream openings: Are you hungry, team?

Dan Webster

Teams are the theme for the week's opening movies. Teams of rebels, teams of best pals, teams of reporters and editors and teams of police investigators. Some of them might even be worth watching.

Friday's mainstream movie releases are as follows:

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2": The war for Panem finally reaches its climax. Do you still hunger for these games?

"The Night Before": Three friends celebrate one last annual Christmas Eve reunion. Do morons now come in trios?

"Spotlight": Based-in-fact story of the Boston Globe and its investigation of the Catholic Church's sexual-abuse scandal. The Globe is a newspaper. Remember what that is?

"The Secret in Their Eyes": A team of police investigators is shaken when the daughter of one is found murdered. Starring not one but two Oscar-winning actresses: Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman. No clue as to where the operating budget went.
