The week’s openings redux: Almodóvar and Oscar shorts

In addition to the films mentioned below , here are a couple of other openings scheduled for Friday:

“Julieta” : Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar returns with this tale about a woman who, alienated from her grown daughter, tries to reconnect with her while confronting painful memories of their past. Bring a hanky.

Oscar-nominated shorts : Two separate programs, one for animated films, the other for live-action. Look for Pixar and Disney to duke it out in the animated category. (Screening both in mainstream theaters and the Magic Lantern .)

Added note : “The LEGO Batman Movie” will be available at certain theaters in both standard and 3D formats.

That’s the list. So go, see a movie. And enjoy.
