Friday’s openings: Dead pirates and buff lifeguards
This is blockbuster week, apparently, with two major openings scheduled for Friday (or Thursday night in some cases). The national release list is as follows:
"Baywatch": Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron star as dueling members of the lifeguard team who attempt to foil the actions of a local crime boss. Question: Do they do it in slo-mo?
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales": Johnny Depp returns as Captain Jack Sparrow, with a band of dead pirates (led by Javier Bardem) bent on doing him harm. Has this series jumped the shark yet?
The Magic Lantern has no scheduled openings as of yet. I'll update as needed.
