Movie Review: ‘Luca’

June 24, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

While it does nothing to solve the perennial problem for real-life parents that obedient children rarely have adventures, director Enrico Casarosa’s animated fantasy “Luca” (Disney+) is otherwise a winsome tale full of charm and Italian flair.

Movie Review: ‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It’

June 9, 2021

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Do-it-yourself demon fighters Ed and Lorraine Warren are at it again in “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.”

Movie Review: ‘Cruella’

May 27, 2021

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Adults who want nothing more than to watch two gifted actresses camp it up will likely be satisfied with director Craig Gillespie’s glossy romp “Cruella” (Disney). Parents on the lookout for safe family fare, not so much.

Movie Review: ‘Profile’

May 19, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

This movie is an intelligent, if flawed, thriller suitable for a broad audience of grown-ups.

Movie Review: ‘Here Today’

May 13, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

In adapting his script partner Alan Zweibel’s short story “The Prize” into the seriocomedy “Here Today,” director and co-writer Billy Crystal sets out to blend breezy humor with poignant drama. Unfortunately, the film falls flat in both respects.

Movie Review: ‘Voyagers’

April 28, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

The tedious sci-fi parable “Voyagers” (Lionsgate) seems designed to prove that in space, no one can hear you yawn.

Movie Review: ‘Roe v. Wade’

April 14, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Allyn and Loeb’s treatment of one of the most controverted political topics in recent history emerges as more ambitious and earnest than successful.

Movie Review: ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’

March 31, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

This movie is a visually spectacular but dramatically feeble creature feature from director Adam Wingard.

Movie Review: ‘Resurrection’

March 25, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Easter, Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Though its tone is sometimes overheated, this is a handsomely done dramatization of the most essential period in human history.

Movie Review: ‘Coming 2 America’

March 10, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

“Coming 2 America” (Paramount/Amazon), turns out to be a slight and mostly unsatisfying comedy.

Movie Review: ‘Land’

February 18, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Although it ultimately celebrates spiritual renewal, the meditative drama “Land” (Focus) first takes viewers through an experience of physical and emotional purgation on the part of its protagonist that, however valuable it may be to witness, is not easy to watch

Movie Review: ‘Our Friend’

February 4, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Under the slightly altered title “Our Friend” (Gravitas Ventures), Teague’s award-winning piece comes to the screen as an emotionally wrenching but ultimately uplifting drama.
