Friday’s openings: Pirates and mommy horror

We've reached that point in the fall movie season when we can expect only one mainstream opening. That's "Pan," the prequel to the "Peter Pan" story that stars Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard — who knew he was in the story? — and Garrett Hedlund as a young Hook. Peter is played by relative unknown named Levi Miller.

So Friday's openings are as follows:

"Pan" (3D and standard): Here's what IMDB has to say: "12-year-old orphan Peter is spirited away to the magical world of Neverland, where he finds both fun and dangers, and ultimately discovers his destiny — to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan." That sound is J.M. Barrie rolling over in his grave … because he doesn't have points.

And at the Magic Lantern:

"Goodnight Mommy": This Austrian-made horror films features twin 9-year-old boys who, when their mother has facial-reconstruction surgery, discover someone under the bandages they don't recognize. Entertainment Weekly calls it "brilliantly sinister." Wonder if the boys insist on playing with wire hangers?

"Rosenwald": This documentary portrays the work of Julius Rosenwald, a Chicago philanthropist who, during the early 20th century, helped fund the building of thousands of schools in African-American communities. Long before Common Core, of course.
