Friday’s openings (redux): Hanks and Miles
In addition to the two films mentioned below, Friday's movie openings include a biopic of jazz great Miles Davis, a new film from German director Tom Tykwer and another period-piece American study from Richard Linklater. The week's openings follow:
"Miles Ahead": Don Cheadle portrays Miles Davis, who for all his troubles — self-made and otherwise — was a genius on the jazz trumpet. Either way, he was kind of blue.
"A Hologram for the King": Tom Hanks portrays a man, trying to rebuild his life, whose job requires him to sell a new technology to the king of Saudi Arabia. Directed by the man who gave us "Run Lola Run."
"Everybody Wants Some!!": Linklater ("Dazed and Confused") follows the exploits of a college baseball team. Expect the same mix of sex, drugs and more than a bit of rock 'n' roll.
And at the Magic Lantern? Second-run openings of "Midnight Special" and "Hello, My Name Is Doris."
