A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The Streaker (2015) *** 1/2 (out of 4)Director Errol Morris made a string of commercials for ESPN about how far some sport fanatics are willing to go. These commercials were so successful that the company asked him to make a series of short films that take a look at the more comical side of fans.THE STREAKER interviews Mark Roberts who is best known for streaking at various sports events. Roberts brags that he has managed to streak at such places as the British Open and even the Super Bowl. Roberts talks about how he first got started doing this and also speaks of the rush that comes with thousands of people cheering you on as you try to make your way through security. Overall this is a pretty fun short as you can constantly hear Morris in the background laughing during the interview as you can tell he's getting a kick out of how someone could possibly get on the field at a Super Bowl and do a dance.
