Three movies open today, and two of them attempt to prove there’s still life in old series after installments that everyone hated. It’s weird when that happens, huh?

Blair Witch: Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett ignore Book of Shadows to go back to the basics: Found footage, mounting dread and fracturing group dynamics in the woods. I thought it worked really well.

Bridget Jones’s Baby: Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth return for a third chapter in the romcom franchise Glenn finds there are a few things to like, and a few to be disappointed by.

Snowden: Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the NSA whistleblower Oliver Stone’s best movie in years — and yes, that’s kind of a low bar. But it’s true.

And that’s it! I’ll have a TIFF wrapup on the NOW site on Sunday, and I’ll post it here when it’s live. Otherwise, have a good weekend!
