OVERRATED

Trolling as freedom: Tidily closing a grim circle that began with the sexist online response to the all-female “Ghostbusters” reboot, a corner of Twitter collapsed into a howling void of racism and cruelty recently as star Leslie Jones was bullied into abandoning the social network after weathering a deluge of hateful attacks. Twitter banned one of the site’s leading offenders, which led some to cries of “free speech” while the rest of us recognize such all-toocommon abuse tramples a freedom from hate and harassment that should be beyond question in the “real” world outside 140 characters.

“The Invitation” (2015):

Benefiting from the diminished expectations in the thriller genre, this indie newcomer to Netflix directed by “Girlfight’s” Karyn Kusama offers a palate-cleansing twist but for the most part can’t overcome a predictable story line, leaden pace and occasional overreaches for high art. On the bright side, Michiel Huisman of “Game of Thrones” fame is at his amiably stubbled best along with a comforting sense that if you’re not a little anxious and paranoid while attending a dinner party in the Hollywood Hills you’re probably doing it wrong.
