Friday Movie Release: “Blacklight,” “Death on the Nile,” “Marry Me”

This Friday, moviegoers will have three great choices for a trip to the theater that’s fit for nearly every kind of fan.

Marry Me stars Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Maluma, and others, and is a romantic comedy about love in one of the most unlikely scenarios. Music superstars Kat Valdez (Lopez) and Bastian (Maluma) are getting married before a global audience of fans. But when Kat learns, seconds before her vows, that Bastian has been unfaithful, she decides to marry Charlie (Wilson), a stranger in the crowd, instead. The film is directed by Kat Coiro and is rated PG-13.

Death on the Nile stars Gal Gadot, Kenneth Branagh, Rose Leslie, Letitia Wright, Annette Bening, Ali Fazal, Armie Hammer, Tom Bateman, and Jennifer Saunders. A film fit for those searching for an exciting mystery, Kenneth Branagh’s newest film follows Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s (Branagh) Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer as it turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travelers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement. The film is rated PG-13.

Blacklight stars Liam Neeson, Time Draxl, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Taylor John Smith, and Aidan Quinn. Directed by Mark Williams, this action flick follows Travis Block (Neeson), a freelance government operative living on the fringes and coming to terms with his shadowy past. When he discovers an undercover team that’s targeting U.S. citizens, Block finds himself in the crosshairs of the FBI director (Quinn) he once helped protect. But as Block attempts redemption by enlisting a journalist (Raver-Lampman) to get the truth out, his daughter and granddaughter are threatened — and a danger that has existed on the margins. Blacklight is rated PG-13.
