Friday’s openings: Student drivers and Mexican chickens

The only thing better than a short work week is looking forward to the movies you can see at the end of that week. So as we begin this post-Labor Day week, let’s check out what’s opening on Friday:

“Learning to Drive” : After being left by her husband, a 50-something New Yorker decides to take driving lessons and gets more for her money than expected. And it doesn’t involve parallel parking.

“The Visit” : M. Night Shyamalan returns with this tale about children visiting their grandparents only to discover true family horror. What, are they forced to eat tuna casserole?

“The Perfect Guy” : When a woman breaks up with her boyfriend, she meets someone who she thinks reflects the film’s title. Uh, think again.

“Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos” : This Mexican-made animated film focuses on a young chicken who must stand up against an evil rancher to save his family. The title’s pun doesn’t work in English, but this is being called an “egg-cellent” adventure. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Also, “Mad Max: Fury Road” returns in IMAX 3D. And on Sept. 15-16 a special Fathom Even t at AMC River Park Square will feature a 3D showing of “Doctor Who: Dark Water/Death in Heaven.”

And at the Magic Lantern:

“Listen to Me Marlon” : The late actor Marlon Brando is revealed through personally recorded audiotapes and archival footage. What this documentary shows is that, indeed, Brando coulda been a contenda.
