Thursday
The Naked Dawn (7:00p — Chazen Art Museum)

All freakin’ weekend
Guardians of the Galaxy (Sundance, AMC Star, Point, Eastgate, Stoughton Cinema Cafe)
70’s soundtrack? Foul-mouthed raccoon? Chris Pratt’s abs? James Gunn’s intergalactic band of Marvel misfits looks like fun. But is there such thing as too much fun?

Someone must have liked Chadwick Boseman’s performance in 42 because he’s popping up in this James Brown biopic, too.
