Friday’s releases: Comedy, drama and love, oh my

What with “Solo: A Star Wars” story behind us, this coming Friday offers a variety of new releases. According to the national movie-release schedule, here’s what to expect:

“Action Point” : The owner of a low-rent amusement park (Johnny Knoxville) goes to extremes to compete with a new mega-park that opens nearby. “Jackass” -type hilarity ensues.

“Adrift” : In this based-on-a-real-story tale of survival, a young couple (Shailene Woodley, Sam Claflin) star as a couple of sailors who run into a hurricane and are forced to fight for their lives. SPF 80 needed.

“Upgrade” : After a vicious mugging leaves his wife dead and him paralyzed, a man (Logan Marshall-Green) agrees to have an AI implanted that affords him near-superhuman powers. Revenge is sweet.

And at the Magic Lantern :

“Let the Sunshine In” : Juliette Binoche plays a divorced woman who dates a number of men, many of whom are flawed in one way or another. Directed by Claire Denis from a script she co-wrote with Christine Angot (from a novel by Roland Barthes).

Thats the tentative schedule. I’ll update when the local theaters finalize their schedules.
