Magic Mike, Marlowe and a killer Winnie the Pooh

- Chris Foran

Last dances, last chances and a murderous Winnie the Pooh come to a theater near you this week.

Here’s what’s new in Milwaukeea­rea theaters starting Friday, as well as some of the new movies available on streaming and on demand this week.

(Reminder: Go to

to find out where you can see this year’s Oscar-nominated movies.)

‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’

Short version: After a business deal goes wrong, the titular exotic dancer (Channing Tatum) connects with a wealthy impresario (Salma Hayek Pinault) to put together a flashy malestripp­er show in London, with a whole new cast of dancers. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first “Magic Mike” movie but ducked the worse-reviewed sequel, is back behind the camera again for this third, and presumably final, chapter.

Where you can see it: Marcus Theatres’ Majestic, Movie Tavern Brookfield Square, North Shore, Ridge, South Shore cinemas.

‘Consecrati­on’

Short version: After the suspicious death of her brother, a priest, a woman goes to the Scottish convent where it happened to find the truth, and uncovers some pretty scary stuff. Jena Malone and Danny Huston star in this horror-thriller.

Where you can see it: Marcus Theatres’ Menomonee Falls, Ridge, South Shore cinemas.

‘Seriously Red’

Short version: After her career collapses, a woman (Krew Boylan, who also wrote the screenplay) throws herself into a new gig — as a Dolly Parton impersonat­or — in this Australian second-chances comedy. Bobby Cannavale and Rose Byrne co-star.

Where you can see it: Marcus Theatres’ Hillside, Ridge, Saukville, Showtime cinemas.

‘She Came From the Woods’

Short version: In this period slasher movie, counselors at a summer camp in 1987 share a ghost story and, naturally, end up reviving the ghost.

Where you can see it: Marcus Theatres’ Menomonee Falls, Ridge, South Shore cinemas.

Opening Feb. 15: ‘Marlowe’

Short version: Liam Neeson joins the impressive list of tough-guy actors playing Raymond Chandler’s classic private detective Philip Marlowe in this thriller set in 1930s Los Angeles, with Marlowe hired to find the former lover of an heiress (Diane Kruger) whose mother was a movie star (Jessica Lange). Alan Cumming, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Danny Huston and Colm Meaney co-star; Neil Jordan directed.

Where you can see it: AMC Mayfair Mall; Marcus Theatres’ Hillside, Majestic, Menomonee Falls, North Shore, Ridge, Saukville, Showtime, South Shore cinemas.

Opening Feb. 15: ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’

Short version: Christophe­r Robin returns to the 100 Acre Wood as a young man, only to discover that Winnie the Pooh and Piglet have gone feral and, after being abandoned for years, are out for blood. No, this horror-thriller is not part of the A.A. Milne canon — it’s a low-budget riff on the beloved children’s book characters made possible by the Milne estate’s copyright lapsing.

Where you can see it: AMC Mayfair Mall. Marcus Theatres’ Bistroplex Southridge, Hillside, Majestic, Menomonee Falls, Movie Tavern Brookfield Square, North Shore, Ridge, Saukville, Southgate, South Shore cinemas.

‘Titanic,’ remastered in 3D

To mark the 25th anniversar­y of James Cameron’s other big epic, “Titanic” is back in a restored 3D edition. It’s showing multiple times daily at AMC Mayfair Mall and Marcus Theatres’ Bistroplex Southridge, Hillside, Majestic, Menomonee Falls, Movie Tavern Brookfield Square, North Shore,

Ridge, Saukville, Showtime, Southgate, South Shore cinemas. Info:

‘Third Man’ at Oriental Theatre

It’s showing in a rare big-screen outing at 3 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Oriental Theatre. Tickets are $12. Info:
