"Orlok the Vampire" — Organ Loft — see Special Screenings

THE OTHER MAN — ★½ — A lame melodrama masquerading as an erotic thriller. Liam Neeson stars. Running time: 89 minutes, not rated, probable R (profanity, nudity, sex, vulgarity, slurs)

PARIS — ★★★— You can't really argue with a film that tells us we should be good to one another, even one this overstuffed. French with subtitles, running time: 129 minutes, R (profanity, vulgarity, brief sex, slurs, brief drugs, violence)

THIRST — ★★★— This Korean-made vampire tale takes the bloodsucker mythos and genre in some unexpected directions. Korean with subtitles, running time: 133 minutes, R (violence, gore, sex, nudity, vulgarity, brief drugs, profanity, slurs)
