Friday’s openings: Kids, idiots and Marky Mark

Dan Webster

Kids and crises, with a few laughs in between, make up the movie menu for the coming week. As of this morning, the scheduled movie openings are as follows:

"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children": Based on the novel by Ransom Riggs, this movie follows the story of a young boy who encounters a strange school full of peculiarly skilled children — just like himself. No, it's not Hogwarts. 

"Deepwater Horizon": Mark Wahlberg (who else?) stars as one of the workers who endured the disaster that occurred during the BP Oil Disaster in the summer of 2010 — the effects of which are still devastating life along the Gulf Coast. No jokes, please.

"Masterminds": Ironic title for a movie about trio of idiots who try to rob an armored car. Starring Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudekis as the idiots plus one.

I'll update as needed. With better jokes, let's hope.
