Friday’s openings: Chuckles and bloodletting

Comedy and drama lead the list of those movies opening Friday, according to the national release schedule. The openings are:

"Uncle Drew": When a guy gets desperate to win a city basketball tournament, he ends up recruiting a team of veterans (members of which are played by former professional stars such as Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Kyrie Irving and Lisa Leslie).

"Sicario 2: Soldado": Benicio Del Toro returns as the assassin Alejandro, who face a decision about whether to show loyalty to a friend or show compassion to a young girl.

As always, I'll update when the local theaters finalize their respective schedules.
