The lowdown on the flicks follows. Remember, in the following shows and times, ** two asterisks means the film is playing in the Director’s Hall at slightly higher prices.

OPENS FRIDAY, August 20th

EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING — After World War II, Father Lancaster Merrin leads an archeological dig of a mysterious Byzantine church. Underneath the church, Merrin discovers a more ancient crypt and comes face-to-face with unspeakable evil. Rated R

OPEN WATER — In a movie some critics have described as a cross between Jaws and The Blair Witch Project, an American couple is accidentally left behind while scuba-diving on a tropical reef. Cold, lonely and far from land, the couple is adrift in shark-infested waters hoping they survive until morning. Rated R

BENJI: OFF THE LEASH — Benji’s mother is caught in a perilous situation at the puppy mill, so the plucky canine gets some of his friends together (both animal and human) to help him out in a rescue attempt.
