Friday’s openings: Lighthouses and sci-fi mysteries

I've been on somewhat of a winning streak with movies of late, thanks to filmmakers such as Werner Herzog and Mike Birbiglia. Let's hope the coming week offers cinema half as enjoyable. Friday's opening movies are as follows:

"The Light Between Oceans": Based on the novel by M.L. Stedman, director Derek Cianfrance tells the story of an Australian lighthouse keeper and his wife who save a baby that washes up on shore, raise it as their own only to discover that their happiness is someone else's tragedy. Bring a hanky or three.

"Morgan": A young girl, "bioengineered with synthetic DNA," rebels against her corporate captors. Bad things happen. (See: "Ex Machina.")

"The 9th Life of Louis Drax": After suffering a near-fatal fall, a comatose boy becomes the center of a mystery that is at least as engaging as the film's title. Bring a sense of wonder.

Still no word on the Magic Lantern. I'll update as needed.
