THE HERALDEntertainment: WeekendAll times are Eastern unless otherwise noted.
Current cinemaCurrently playingA Star Is Born (Jasper 8 Theatres) In his directorial debut, Bradley Cooper (also the leading man) strikes the perfect balance between a showbiz fable and an intimate story with universal truths. As the protege who rockets to fame, Lady Gaga is a winning, natural presence, even in the scenes where she’s nowhere near a piano or a microphone. (Drama, R, 2 hrs. 16 min.)
Halloween (Jasper 8 Theatres) Four decades after Michael Myers killed five people on the night of Oct. 31, survivor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis, badass terrific) is now a tightly wound, heavily armed grandma convinced the imprisoned Myers will escape and kill again — and so he does. This is the B-movie sequel the original “Halloween” has always deserved. (Horror, R, 1 hr. 56 min)
Night School (Jasper 8 Theatres) Am I asking too much of “Night School”? It’s no big thing, this new movie starring Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish, and nobody’s expecting a formula-, game- or life-changer. You just don’t want to leave feeling shortchanged. Is that so wrong? Director Malcolm D. Lee’s commodity squeaks by, barely, with solid comic assistance from the delightful Romany Malco (serenely panicked, every second) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (“blessed,” she keeps saying, even though her character’s domestic life is pure hell). Along with Rob Riggle, Al Madrigal and Anne Winters, they’re welcome company as the Hart character’s fellow night school students, prepping for the GED exam under the tough-love guidance of the overworked Atlanta educator portrayed by Haddish. Hart remains an audience-pleaser, though I confess I found him a little wearing here; Haddish, a fresher presence, can do only so much with a role that’s more function than form. The actors aren’t the problem with “Night School”; the material is. It’ll nonetheless likely prove a hit because of who’s in it, headliners and supporting ringers alike. (Comedy, PG-13, 1 hr., 51 min.)
Venom ½ (Jasper 8 Theatres) The great Tom Hardy flounders his way through a terrible clunker about a man inhabited by a bloodthirsty alien. The special effects are underwhelming, and the villains — human and extraterrestrial — are forgettable. (Action/sci-fi, PG-13, 1 hr. 52 min.)
On DVDChristopher Robin In this live-action and CGI combo fairy tale, Winnie the Pooh has lost his friends and the grown-up Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) has lost sight of what’s important and might just lose his family, unless somehow, some way, they can help each other! It’s simple. Sweet. Effective. (Fantasy, PG, 1 hr. 44 min.)
Blackkklansman Director-co-writer Spike Lee recounts the story of a 1970s police officer (John David Washington, in an immensely entertaining and powerful performance) who went undercover with the Ku Klux Klan, despite being black. Searing, electric and
sometimes flat-out funny, it’s one of the best films of 2018. (Biographical comedy, R, 2 hrs. 15 min., 2018)
