Here’s a sordid little teen-in-trouble tease from Spain that promises threats, sex and violence presented in the most melodramatic situations possible in assorted posh settings decorated by overdressed members of the upper class and underclass. “Bad Influence” is about a teen ballerina who is being stalked — at home, at school and in the concert hall, and her rich father’s wildly unconventional and nonsensical solution to that.

Any intimate, detailed documentary about what goes on during a bullfight is going to chase away probably two thirds of the populace in this day and age. Those who avoid it have a point. “Afternoons of Solitude,” which follows pouty and popular young bullfighter Andrés Roca Rey through fourteen corridas over three years, doesn’t pull any punches or spare us the blood.

If only anyone could actually, you know, RIDE in “If Only I Could Ride Again,” maybe this limp noodle of a New England horse country melodrama might have some credibility. There’s scene after scene after scene of young women in jodhpurs on horseback, being walked around a corral or stables or wherever by their trainer. The inane-in-the-extreme script keeps referring to “horseback riding” trophies and championships.

“Let Me Go” is an intimate, brittle and somewhat chilly Swiss romance about a 40something single mom who stumbles into her feelings, despite a lifetime of avoiding that trap. Jeanne Balibar stars as a small town seamstress who takes regular commuter rail visits to a nearby resort for casual lunch pick-ups, sex and small talk. It’s a bit more than you think.

There’s aren’t a lot of stars from Golden Age Hollywood that I regard as “can’t miss.” It’s basically a list that starts and ends with Dick Powell. Even Bogart had a misfire or two. John Wayne was a lumbering lump out of the saddle. Bette Davis, Crawford, Cooper, Grant, Stanwyck, all had their programmers and contractual obligation projects. But Powell gave fair value every time out.

I had not posted, to my knowledge, a single trailer from the latest “Jurassic” installment. I can’t sit in a theater watching Scarlett Johansson try to make it real, make it interesting, make it anything other than the empty-headed crap it’s almost certain to be. But this? This looks cute, if kind of inconsequential. And challenging. She’s got to play a gay Royal Navy sibling to Sienna Miller and Emily Beechum, and partner to Freida Pinto (if I’m reading this trailer right).

It must be the lucid moments that hurt the most, the ones that can remind those with dementia or the other madnesses of old age of just what they’ve lost and what a fog they’re trapped in the rest of the time. That’s the big take-away from “A Kind of Madness,” a sweet, amusing, sad and just sentimental enough South African dramedy about a great love affair’s final Grand Gesture. We meet Ellie and Daniel when they met — half a century ago — on Walker Bay.

“Semi-Soeter” is a broad, low-hanging fruit “Who has time for a baby?” comedy from South Africa. It’s a sequel to “Semi-Soet” (Semi Sweet), a 2012 South African hit about an ad agency careerist, Jaci (Anel Alexander) who hires a model to be her fake boyfriend, J.P. (Nico Panagio) to close a deal. The new film brings back our leads, now long-married and committed to remaining baby-free a dozen years later. But there’s this OTHER deal with a baby product empire. Maybe if they pretend to have a baby?
