The week’s openings: Bears and big trouble

Dan Webster

We should start getting some of the films that won big at Sunday night's Golden Globes party — those that haven't yet opened locally, I mean — but we won't know for a couple of days. As for now, the national movie release schedule looks like this:

"Paddington 2": The further adventures of the toy bear (voiced by Ben Whishaw) who is now living in London with the Brown family. Think he gets in trouble?

"The Commuter": Liam Neeson continues his late-career choice of roles where he plays a capable man faced with troubled options. Here that man is offered money to do something seemingly innocuous but ends up threatening him, his family and everyone on the train that he happens to be traveling on. He will find a way out.

"Proud Mary": Taraji P. Henson plays the title character, a hired killer whose life gets sidetracked when she encounters a young boy during a job gone south.

I'll update when the local theaters finalize their listing.
