Friday’s openings redux: Mysteries, docs and more

Dan Webster

In addition to heists and hitmen (see below), the coming week will offer an array of choices for the discerning moviegoer. An amended list of Friday movie openings follows:

"Wind River": While investigating a murder on an Indian reservation, an FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) is forced to team up with a veteran tracker (Jeremy Renner). Cowboys and feds?

"Brigsby Bear": "Saturday Night Live" cast member Kyle Mooney stars as a character who, when his life is suddenly changed, becomes obsessed with finishing the story of a fictional bear named Brigsby. Not Winnie?

"13 Minutes": Based on a real story, this German film explores the story of Georg Elser, a man who tried to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1939. Timely story.

"Step": This documentary explores the story of girls attending an inner-city school in Baltimore as they prepare for a regional step dance competition. Gotta dance.

And at the Magic Lantern:

"The Last Dalai Lama?": Another documentary, this one profiling the 14th Dalai Lama and sharing the effect he has had since leaving Tibet in 1959.

That's Friday's lineup. Now go. See a movie. And enjoy.
