Action Picks

David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street rips a whole suburban block off the map and dumps the Platt family somewhere unknown, turning survival into the whole game. Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor anchor a tight 99-minute sci-fi mystery-thriller that trades on dread and momentum. The premise leans more tense-survival than wall-to-wall action, but the stakes stay high throughout.

Curry Barker's Obsession turns a broken "One Wish Willow" into a sinister payoff when a lovesick guy gets exactly what he asked for. It's more horror menace than kinetic action, so temper expectations on that front — but a 94% critics rating and 7.9 IMDb say the tension lands. Screenings are limited this week, so catch it while you can.
