Friday’s openings: Crime and punishment

Crime of one sort or another is on the menu for Friday, according to the national movie-release schedule. The preliminary bookings look like this:

"Ocean's 8": Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett lead a crew of jewel thieves in this variation on the original "Ocean's Eleven" heist flick. What's good for the gander …  

"Hereditary": A death in the family causes a creepy kind of reminiscence. Limited release but certainly a possibility.

"Hotel Artemis": Jodie Foster stars as the proprietor of an establishment catering to criminals. When they check out, they really check out.

And at the Magic Lantern:

"1945": It's a hot day in August when two men, dressed in black, arrive in town on the train. Fear spreads when the the villagers realize the men, Orthodox Jews, might be the first of their kind returning from the previously forced deportations. In Hungarian and Russian with English subtitles.

That's it for the moment. I'll update when the area theater finalize their listings.
