    Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only
    The film (which feels more like a commercial than a documentary) works best as a behind the scenes hang with an odd couple.

    A Haunting in Venice
    In straddling genres, “Haunting” can get stuck in the middle. But there’s fun to be had there. What’s consistent is the elegant visuals — striking cinematography by Haris Zambarloukos — which mark this movie’s real genre as lavish old-fashioned Hollywood entertainment.

    Insidious: The Red Door
    The leaden screenplay would be easier to overlook if there were more spooky sequences.

    Scream VI
    It’s tricky business balancing disturbing terror and jokey film criticism, and while this sequel occasionally pulls it off, the weight of obligations to the dictates of the franchise ultimately drags it down.

    Nocebo
    This movie has plenty going for it: excellent actors (Fonacier has a knack for coiled tension), stylish camerawork by the director Lorcan Finnegan and a point to make about economic exploitation. What’s missing is any sense of surprise.

    Always at The Carlyle
    Discretion may be a virtue in the upscale hospitality business, but not in documentary film. If you are going to make a movie that hints at scandal and celebrity gossip and behind-the-scenes glamour, then it’s not too much to ask that some secrets be revealed and a glass or two of juice poured.
