Movie Review: ‘Wonder Woman 1984’

December 29, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News

The plot is silly, at times preposterous. But that’s not unexpected for an old-fashioned popcorn movie, a Saturday-matinee serial writ large.

Movie Review: ‘The Croods: A New Age’

December 2, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

The most entertaining Stone Age family since the Flintstones returns to the big screen in “The Croods: A New Age” (Universal), a delightful animated comedy suitable for almost all ages.

Movie Review: ‘Come Away’

November 19, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Take “Peter Pan,” add a dash of “Alice in Wonderland,” stir in the poetry of William Butler Yeats and you have the recipe for “Come Away” (Relativity), an intriguing if slightly schizophrenic fairy tale.

Movie Review: ‘Martin Eden’

November 11, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

The latest big-screen adaptation of London’s semi-autobiographical tale — an Italian-language film with English subtitles — offers a refreshing new take on the rags-to-riches saga.

Kenneth Branagh stars in a scene from the movie "Tenet."

Movie review: ‘Tenent’

September 4, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News

“Tenet” can be enjoyed as an overstuffed globetrotting adventure. Think James Bond on Red Bull, only this time the villain is pursued in the past as well as in real time.
