Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

“Hotel Transylvania: Transformania” — the fourth installment in the animated franchise, primarily populated by iconic figures from classic horror films, that kicked off in 2012 — conceals no threatening fangs. In fact, it suffers from the opposite problem; it lacks bite.

Movie Review: ‘The Matrix Resurrections’

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

You wouldn’t care to spend the rest of your life floating unconscious in a pod full of goo, would you? Well, neither would Keanu Reeves, and so we get “The Matrix Resurrections” (Warner Bros.), the fourth film in the blockbuster sci-fi series that first hit screens way back in 1999.

Movie Review: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

December 16, 2021

Movie Review: ‘Nightmare Alley’

The title “Nightmare Alley” (Searchlight) at least gives moviegoers fair warning of what awaits them in director and co-writer Guillermo del Toro’s noir-inspired screen version of William Lindsay Gresham’s 1946 novel, scripted with Kim Morgan.

Movie Review: ‘West Side Story’

Will viewers be charmed by “Encanto” (Disney)? For the most part, the answer is probably yes, though this vivacious animated musical does include content that could be of concern for the parents of impressionable kids.

Movie Review: ‘Belfast’

November 17, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In 1969, as the wider world focused on such events as Apollo 11’s mission to the Moon, long-simmering sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland boiled over, initiating a period of religious and political strife, known as the Troubles, that would last for the next 30 years.

Movie Review: ‘Clifford the Big Red Dog’

November 17, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

This adaptation of a series of children’s books by Norman Bridwell, the first of which was published in 1963, is silly but mostly harmless.
