Friday’s openings: Monsters, money and otherwise

Note: The post below has been edited.

Refusing to challenge the latest Avengers saga, "Captain America: Civil War," Hollywood is opening only two movies this weekend. And neither is likely to bust the box office. Friday's openings are as follows:

"Money Monster": George Clooney plays a TV finance reporter who get waylaid by a gun-toting guy who's lost all his money, and Julia Roberts is his producer. Think "The Big Short" meets "Broadcast News."

"The Darkness": A family returns from vacation only to discover that an evil spirit home has stowed away in the family roadster. Nothing is more irritating, except for that time when dad ran over a skunk.

And at the Magic Lantern?

"Dough": From IMDB: "An old Jewish baker struggles to keep his business afloat until his young Muslim apprentice drops cannabis in the dough and sends sales sky high." So to speak.

The Lantern will be closed Thursday, May 19. On May 20, the theater is scheduled to open "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe." No comment, except for this.

That's the list. So go. See a movie. And have fun.
