Friday’s openings redux: Action and art films
Big week for movies, what with seven scheduled to open. In addition to the ones listed below — "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," "Bleed for This," "The Edge of This" and, yes, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' — the others are as follows:
"Certain Women": Three women (Laura Dern, Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams) live, love and learn in small-town America. Shot in and around Livingston, Mont. No cracks about sheep warranted.
"Moonlight": Two young men grow up struggling to discover what love is in a tough Miami neighborhood. No beach flick this.
"The Take": A former CIA agent (Idris Elba) recruits a young pickpocket to help him foil a terrorist plot. No chance against Luther.
Time to see some movies. And enjoy.
