It is going to keep Augusting at the movie theaters until at least past Labor Day, I'm afraid.
- Blink Twice, a thriller starring Naomi Ackie as a waitress billionaire Slater Kane (Channing Tatum) impulsively takes to his private island, only to find other guests - and apparently memories of them - disappearing. Kind of a terrific supporting cast on this one with new favorites and folks one hasn't seen enough of lately. It's at the Capitol, Fresh Pond, Boston Common, Causeway Street, Kendall Square, the Seaport, South Bay (including Dolby Cinema), Assembly Row (including Dolby Cinema), and Arsenal Yards.
Slasher-looking thing Strange Darling stars Willa Fitzgerald as a woman on a one-night stand which spirals out of control, with nothing as it seems. That plays CinemaSalem, Boston Common, Causeway Street, Kendall Square, South Bay (including Dolby Cinema), and Assembly Row.
Someone finally got a remake of The Crow made - the (in)famous original was 30 years ago and this seems to have been in the works ever since - with Bill Skarsgård as the revenant avenger. It's at Fresh Pond, Boston Common, Causeway Street, Kendall Square, the Seaport, South Bay (including Imax Xenon & Dolby Cinema), Assembly Row (including Imax Laser), and Arsenal Yards.
200% Wolf is a follow-up to Aussie animated show 100% Wolf about a were-poodle who wants to be a real werewolf; getting his wish here causes all sorts of chaos. It's at Fresh Pond and Boston Common.
The latest faith-based drama from Alex Kendrick, The Forge, plays Fresh Pond, Boston Common, Causeway Street, South Bay, and Assembly Row.
Horror movie Stream, with Danielle Harris as part of a family whose hotel is locked down so psychos can compete for who can manage the most creative kill (with a bunch of horror notables as killers/victims), has an very short run at Boston Common through Sunday; it's from the producers and FX crew of Terrifier 2.
Rear Window plays Arsenal Yards on Sunday and South Bay on Sunday & Wednesday. There's a "Screen Unseen" preview at Boston Common, Causeway Street, Assembly Row on Monday.

There's also the monthly free "Disasterpiece Theatre" show/VHS swap on Monday. - Apple Fresh Pond picks up several Indian films this weekend: Nunakuzhi is a Malayalam-language thriller about a seemingly honest company head whose business is suddenly targeted by the government for tax evasion and other violations; Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam is a Telugu-language comedy of mistaken identities starring Rao Ramesh in the title role; Vaazhai is a Tamil-language film about a 12-year-old boy and a village highlighted by a plantain tree; those open on Friday.
