It’s Friday when we talk about movies, and we’ve got three big openings this week, with a little bit of something for everyone.
Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy team up as bootlegging brothers in "Lawless," plus the thriller "The Possession" and the kids movie "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure."
