Friday’s openings: You gotta have … Hart?

Fall doesn't have a long tradition of offering a great variety of films. And the reactions to them don't tend to stoke the box-office fires, especially this year. Case in point: The takes of last week's openings were 8.7 percent less than the same week of 2015.

Still, the weeks progress and the movies keep on coming. Following at the projected national releases for Friday:

"The Accountant": Ben Affleck plays a guy who, while working at "uncooking the books" of notorious figures, has trouble connecting with normal humans. That includes both the humans who get to know him (such as Anna Kendrick) and those who want to kill him (such as Jon Bernthal).

"Kevin Hart: What Now?": The latest comedy concert film from the diminutive comic. The word comedy, for some of us, could be rendered here in quotes. 

"Priceless": A guy grieving the loss of his family takes on a job that, when he stumbles onto its secret nature, has the potential of turning his life upside down. As IMDB asks, "Can love, strength, and faith redefine his past and change the course of his future?" Hmmmmm, I wonder.

As always, I'll fine tune as the information becomes available.
