Freeze Frame: "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" (R), "The Mongoose" (R), "Christmas at the Kringles" (R)

2 Minuten
John Turturro gets one of the best roles of his career in the effective drama "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York." He plays an aging petty thief who gets in way over his head when he inadvertently lifts from a young member of a mob family. He has only a few hours to try to set things right. Terrific acting and a 70s-style vibe help establish a palpable 'fish out of water' feel. “The Only Living Pickpocket in New York” is a smart, tricky and involving thriller. Liam Neeson continues his late career focus as an action star in the over-the-top chase flick, “The Mongoose.” Neeson plays a former war veteran suffering from PTSD who goes on the run after the accidental death of his ex-wife’s abusive husband. Wrongly accused of murder, he steals a souped-up Shelby Mustang Super Snake and takes police on a cross-country chase spanning multiple states. There’s not a believable moment in this absurd enterprise, but stuntman-turned-director Mark Vanselow stages some zippy action sequences that help to cover the flaws of a bad script. Still, if mindless action is your thing, “The Mongoose” puts the pedal to the metal. Ready for a lump of coal in your early Christmas stocking? The horror comedy "Christmas at the Kringles" is a bona fide contender for worst movie of the year. KC's own Rob Riggle and a gifted cast are wasted in an ugly, unfunny tale of the weirdos next door who celebrate Christmas year-round. But their real motives are shady. Ron Livingston is a respected actor, but he plays his role of a father figure like he can’t wait to get off the set and throttle his agent. My gift to you is advice. Miss “Christmas at the Kringles” at all costs.

Freeze Frame: "A Talent for Murder" (R), "Klara and the Sun" (PG-13), "Rise and Shine" (Not rated), "Sacrifice" (R), "Wicker" (R)

2 Minuten
Helen Mirren is terrific in the prickly fictional psychological thriller, "A Talent for Murder." Mirren plays Patricia Highsmith, the bitter and reclusive author of the Ripley murder novels. Alden Ehrenreich is an emissary from her publisher who tries to persuade her to finish one more Ripley book. But will she manipulate him into doing something sinister? "A Talent for Murder" is an intriguing cat and mouse chiller. The off-beat sci-fi comic drama "Klara and the Sun" is a fable about an artificial robotic friend. It has its many flaws, but it is still a somewhat poignant look at grief, technology and hope powered not by the sun, but by the performances of Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams. The sweet-natured drama "Rise and Shine" is a locally shot production with its heart squarely in the right place. Ana Sharp plays a teen with a developmental disability who faces challenges as she attends school with other kids for the first time. Take a tissue. What were they thinking? That's what you may ask yourself when watching the Netflix environmental opus, "Sacrifice." Chris Evans plays a movie star abducted from a fundraising gala by cult leader Anya Taylor-Joy. She wants him to sacrifice himself in a volcano. Don't sacrifice any of your time on "Sacrifice," a head-scratching total misfire. The eccentric British import "Wicker" is for those seeking something completely different. Olivia Coleman plays a lonely fisherwoman in a medieval village who has a basket maker create a husband out of wicker, played by Alexander Skarsgård. The villagers are resentful. “Wicker” is skillfully produced, but a strange and off-putting bohemian social commentary masquerading as a romantic fantasy.

Freeze Frame: "The Social Reckoning" (R), "Angel and the Badman" (PG-13), "Animals" (R)

2 Minuten
"We're way past making friends." So goes the chilling promo quote from filmmaker Aaron Sorkin's "The Social Reckoning," a sharp follow up to the now classic Facebook exposé, "The Social Network." In this smartly written and involving true story, Mikey Madison plays whistleblower Frances Haugen who worked with Wall Street Journal writer Jeff Horwitz, played by Jeremy Allen White, to expose some of Facebook's darkest secrets. Jeremy Strong plays Mark Zuckerberg like he's a Bond villain. Facebook’s use of algorithms to radicalize people and maximize user time for profit is put under a withering microscope.  “The Social Reckoning” is an ethically provocative broadside blow at big business social media. Zachary Levi steps into the boots once worn by John Wayne in the classic 1947 Western, "Angel and the Badman." In this workmanlike remake, Levi plays a wounded bandit who holes up to heal in the homestead of a Quaker family. Sheriff Tommy Lee Jones and some malicious bad guys are in hot pursuit looking for Zachary and some stolen Confederate gold. Fans of sagebrush sagas will likely find a lot to like in “Angel and the Badman,” a reasonably entertaining Western throwback. Ben Affleck stars in and directs the tense Netflix thriller, "Animals." He plays a deep in debt Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose son is kidnapped. Kerry Washington is his long-suffering wife, and Gillian Anderson is a mysterious character who loans Ben millions in cash for the ransom. There are more than a few "Hey, wait a minute..." moments in the spotty script, but the cast and lively pace make “Animals” a provocative distraction.

Freeze Frame: "Digger" (R), "Verity" (R), "May Contain: My Life" (PG)

2 Minuten
Robert Redford once said, "You're only as good as you dare to be bad." Tom Cruise and Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu have dared big time, and the result is the oddball climate change satire, "Digger." In this over-the-top, very meta movie, Cruise is a crass oil tycoon responsible for steering the planet toward environmental ruin. Supporting actors Riz Ahmed, John Goodman and Sandra Hüller ably channel the movie’s weird vibe. Cruise is terrific in an opus that's incredibly irritating, and as subtle as a sledgehammer. But “Digger” also has fleeting moments of brilliance. It seems that Iñárritu is daring audiences to hate "Digger" and, frankly, most people will. Okay, Cohorts...fans of pulp novelist Colleen Hoover, the fourth cinematic adaptation of her work has arrived. In the erotic thriller "Verity," Dakota Johnson plays a woman hired as a ghostwriter for a popular novelist. But naturally, things aren't what they seem and the lines between reality and fiction become blurred. Josh Hartnett and a very busy Anne Hathaway co-star. You can't blame the cast, but the whole preposterous affair becomes unintentionally laughable...that is, when it's not unintentionally dull. Local filmmaker Jen Greenstreet's new docudrama "May Contain: My Life" is now available to stream on outlets like Apple TV and Amazon Prime. It's a cautionary tale as well as an informative look at the struggles of people dealing with food allergies. Several sufferers tell their stories, including NFL Hall of Famer Jerome "The Bus" Bettis. “May Contain: My Life” is a thoughtful cry for tolerance and acceptance.

Freeze Frame: "Resident Evil" (R), "The Weight" (R), "Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom" (PG)

2 Minuten
Filmmaker Zach Cregger, responsible for recent horror hits "Barbarian" and "Weapons" was handed the reins to reimagine the biopunk "Resident Evil" franchise about killer mutants. The result is an utterly shameless, violent, ugly...and brilliantly made adaptation of the video game that's far better than its predecessors. Austin Abrams makes an appealing everyman thrown in an apocalyptic hell. There are more effective jump scares here than in a dozen horror movies as well as a lot of cheeky humor. “Resident Evil” is depraved but effective. Ethan Hawke gives another solid performance in the Depression Era prison drama, "The Weight." In a desperate attempt to secure his release from a penal labor camp and reunite with his child, Ethan agrees to warden Russell Crowe's scheme to smuggle a fortune in gold across a vast area of Oregon wilderness. While it may not quite be in the same category as the similarly themed classics like “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” and the white-knuckle thriller “Sorcerer,” “The Weight” is a gritty and involving thriller about the costs of human greed. The stop motion animation masters at Aardman studios, home of Wallace and Gromit, offer a clever early Halloween treat for the whole family, "Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom." Shaun, experimenting with a formula to grow pumpkins, accidently causes the farmer of Mossy Bottom to become covered with hair and mistaken for Bigfoot. This fast and furious and nearly wordless comedy is aimed squarely at the youngest demographic but is loaded with sight and sound gags that should appeal to mom and dad. “Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom” is a nimble family flick.
