Movie Review: ‘Miracle Club’

July 16, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

A pilgrimage to Lourdes provides the framework for the tender drama “The Miracle Club” (Sony Classics).

Movie Review: ‘Joy Ride’

July 8, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Hollywood has decided that Asian American women deserve their very own raunchy road movie. And so viewers are invited along for “Joy Ride” (Lionsgate). They’d do well to skip the trip.

Movie Review: ‘Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken’

July 5, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In theory, the tale of a shy but enthusiastic high schooler who is really a sea creature rather than a human might make for a pleasant diversion. But the major feminist and minor gay agendas that underlie the animated adventure “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” (Universal) spoil any potential fun the film might offer.

Movie Review: ‘Sound of Freedom’

June 29, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The story of Ballard’s battle against the sexual enslavement of kids — a horrifying form of depravity that’s disturbingly widespread — makes for a valuable and ultimately uplifting experience.

Movie Review: ‘No Hard Feelings’

June 23, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In the often-raunchy comedy “No Hard Feelings” (Sony) star Jennifer Lawrence plays a woman who agrees to sell her body for a Buick.

Movie Review: ‘The Flash’

June 16, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

A fundamental message about accepting both the good and bad that befall us is mixed up with ingredients that make this a doubtful proposition for the teens at whom, along with grown-ups, the movie is presumably aimed.

Movie Review: ‘Elemental’

June 14, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Thanks to its rich blend of ethnicities, the United States has long been referred to as a melting pot. In the animated romantic comedy “Elemental” (Disney), director Peter Sohn substitutes for that metaphor a fable featuring embodiments of the four elements, using the dynamics of their imaginary world to explore the immigrant experience.

Movie Review: ‘Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse’

June 7, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The parade of Spideys is something of an inside joke and may prove confusing to the uninitiated. But the film overall – which is safest for grown-ups but also possibly acceptable for mature adolescents – is a lively crowd pleaser and will likely be catnip for hardcore fans.

Movie Review: ‘Padre Pio’

June 1, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The film is less a profile of the titular saint, Padre Pio, played passionately by Shia LaBeouf, than a portrait of San Giovanni Rotondo, the Apulian town of his Capuchin monastery, in the period immediately after World War I.

Movie Review: ‘The Boogeyman’

June 1, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Director Rob Savage’s feature-length screen version of horror-meister Stephen King’s yarn arrives as the above-average chiller “The Boogeyman” (20th Century).

Movie Review: ‘The Little Mermaid’

May 25, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

There’s nothing shopworn about Marshall’s skilled and sprightly repackaging – old-fashioned in the best sense, it’s a high-quality, family friendly summer treat.

TV Review: ‘Mrs. Davis’

May 24, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

“Mrs. Davis” is not anti-religious in any sense. But it’s clear that showrunner and co-writer Tara Hernandez – along with her principal script collaborator, Damon Lindelof – is out to break boundaries and flout convention in her presentation of faith as well as in her approach to storytelling.
