Friday’s openings: Kitties, robots and mommies

Dan Webster

What with the weather switching from summer to fall and back again, usually all in one morning, the only dependably climate-controlled spot to seek out is in a movie theater. Friday's schedule opening are as follows:

"Keanu": Television won't be the same without Key & Peele, the Comedy Central duo who are now making movies. Their first team effort, this comedy about a couple of regular guys who adopt a kitty, see it get kidnapped by an urban gang and fight to retrieve it. Meooowwww, indeed.

"Ratchet & Clank": Straight from your kid's PlayStation, this game-originated, animated space duo must fight a villain bent on destroying every planet in the galaxy. It's a kids' world.

"Mother's Day": Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and others star in this rom-com about three generations coming together to celebrate the day of the title. Are flowers and a card enough?

I'll have the official list, plus the Magic Lantern, when it's available.

Late note: The Magic Lantern will open the fashion/art documentary "The First Monday in May," which is a study of — according to Rotten Tomatoes — "The Metropolitan Museum of Art's most attended fashion exhibition in history, 'China: Through The Looking Glass,' an exploration of Chinese-inspired Western fashions by Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton."
