“Strange Harvest” maintains an air of abject horror, even if it’s penchant for ease nudges focus out of the way.

“The Occupant” is a strangely frustrating movie.

In short, it’s incredibly fun.

It’s not every day that a film reminds you of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia” and George A. Romero’s “The Crazies” but Zach Cregger doesn’t make everyday movies.

Art is so powerful, a magic force that can transform you from the inside out. “Sketch” is a beautiful ode to that power in its many forms.

“The Pickup” is as generic and forgettable as its title.

It’s a disturbing, sometimes beautiful film that, by the end, is disquieting for all the wrong reasons.

With nowhere else to go, “My Oxford Year” wears out its charm with a half-hearted end.

In stripping down the Red Riding Hood fable to more terrestrial environs, “To Kill a Wolf” finds stronger, more nuanced ways to sell the simmering psychology of its original fable.

“The Naked Gun” has a secret weapon that makes it into a comedy killing machine: Liam Neeson.
