Homeboy Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special comes roaring into central Arkansas theaters this week, amid much hype and hullabaloo. Some people are saying this sci-fi chase movie reminds them of the best work of Steven Spielberg and John Carpenter, and that it’s bound to be one of the best movies of the year. Come on, all this for a kid from Little Rock? Philip Martin looks at the film in this Friday’s Style section.
Martin also dissects the made-in-Central-Arkansas faith-based film God’s Not Dead 2 and the Hank Williams bio-pic I Saw the Light. And Karen Martin surveys the week’s best home video releases.
