MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Nope’

July 21, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The inclusion of grimly ironic material makes “Nope” challenging fare even for grown-ups.

MOVIE REVIEW: Thor: Love and Thunder

July 6, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Tongue-in-cheek humor paces the vivid action in “Thor: Love and Thunder” (Disney), the third direct sequel to the Marvel Comics-based franchise’s 2011 original.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Jurassic World Dominion’

June 8, 2022

Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

“Jurassic World Dominion” (Universal), which wraps up the second trilogy of films ultimately derived from novels by Michael Crichton, features not only the duo whose adventures have been charted in the more recent movies, but the trio of scientists at the heart of the 1993 original as well.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’

June 1, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

It’s been three long years since Maggie Smith’s tart-tongued matriarch, Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, got off one of her memorable zingers. So it must be time for “Downton Abbey: A New Era” (Focus).

MOVIE REVIEW: The Bob’s Burgers Movie

May 26, 2022
By John Mulderig
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

In adapting a long-running Fox TV show for the big screen, directors Loren Bouchard and Bernard Derriman mix wry observations and quirky personalities with a few jaunty songs to give us “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” (20th Century).

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Family Camp’

May 18, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

There’s some good news about the evangelical comedy “Family Camp” (Roadside): Predictably, it’s almost squeaky clean and thus appropriate for a wide range of age groups. But that’s, alas, where the glad tidings about this leaden production cease.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Northman’

April 28, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Set at the turn of the 10th century, the Viking epic “The Northman” (Focus) seeks to immerse viewers in the Nordic culture of that era.

By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has proved to be a mine of prodigious riches for its creator, J.K. Rowling.

MOVIE REVIEW: Father Stu

April 12, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Positive priest characters are certainly a rarity in contemporary films. So Catholics will welcome the uplifting fact-based biography “Father Stu”.

TV REVIEW: ‘Servant of the People’

March 29, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Before he started teaching the world how to stand up to a murderous bully, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was an actor and comedian.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Adam Project’

March 16, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

There are, in fact, two Adams in this time-travel themed tale. Adult Adam (Ryan Reynolds) hails from the year 2050. Arriving in the present, he teams with his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to nip a future problem for humanity in the bud.

TV REVIEW: ‘Lucy and Desi’

March 9, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

In the wake of writer-director Aaron Sorkin’s dramatization “Being the Ricardos,” comes a far different portrait of early television’s most iconic real-life couple, the warm and insightful documentary “Lucy and Desi.”
