5. INTO THE WOODS-- 1-13-- Fox Lake, free-- Another musical. Just when you thought it was safe to go into the woods. "It's the witch next door." "There's a dead giant in our backyard."
6. NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: SECRET OF THE TOMB-- 1-26-- Fox Lake, $6-- This time, it's the Royal Museum in London. Poor Sir Lancelot's nasal problems.
7. TAKEN 3-- 1-26-- Fox Lake, $6-- When will the bad guys learn to leave Liam's family alone? A man with certain talents who always wishes 'em "Good Luck."
8. MORTDECAI-- 1-27-- Fox Lake $5-- Who needs Austin Powers when you can have Charles Mortdecai?. The story of his 'stach and shot-up, beat-up manservant Jacques.

Movie Scratches for 2015: Hobbitt-- Black-- Gambler-- Annie
Movie Scratches-- A dog's eye-view of today's movies.
The number refers to how many movies I've seen this year. Then the date, name, where I saw it and cost.
1. THE HOBBITT: BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES-- 1-5-- Fox Lake, $6-- Slay the dragon, fight the dwarfs, fight the Orcs. The only good Orc is a dead Orc. Thoren goes bad, then back to good.
2. WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH-- 1-6-- Fox Lake, $5-- She's everywhere and now killing kids who have come to escape the WWII bombing of London. The house on the marsh proves to be more dangerous than German bombs. Definitely a house I wouldn't stay in for the night.
3. THE GAMBLER-- 1-16-- Fox Lake, $5-- Gamblers Anonymous might have been a better choice. Have it all, gamble it all away. Borrow from the wrong guys.
4. ANNIE-- 1-12, Fox Lake, $6-- An update on an old musical. One of the best movies I've ever seen, and I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF MUSICALS as they usually bore me, especially during the singing.
