Movie Review: ‘Tom & Jerry ‘

Joseph McAleer March 4, 2021
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie Reviews, News, World News

With messages about honesty and friendship thrown in with slapstick humor and benign mayhem, “Tom & Jerry” can be enjoyed by the entire family.

Movie Review: ‘Land’

John Mulderig February 18, 2021

Filed Under: Movie 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: ‘Minari’

Sister Hosea Rupprecht February 11, 2021

Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News, World News

Set in the 1980s, “Minari” (A24), a gentle mix of drama and comedy, explores the immigrant experience from a Korean American perspective.

Movie Review: ‘Our Friend’

John Mulderig February 4, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie 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.

Movie Review: ‘The Dig ‘

Joseph McAleer January 27, 2021
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News, World News

It’s a shame that extraneous material has been needlessly thrown into the mix, because viewers of all ages could otherwise have enjoyed a fascinating history lesson.

Movie Review: ‘Greenland’

John Mulderig January 21, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News, World News

A steady focus on the believable characters who populate it elevates director Ric Roman Waugh’s engaging film above the status of a disaster movie. But the positive values displayed along the path of the quest for survival he and screenwriter Chris Sparling chart are offset by the disturbing nature of the mayhem they unleash.

Movie Review: ‘Pinocchio’

Kurt Jensen January 14, 2021
By Kurt Jensen
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News, World News

It’s no lie to say that this “Pinocchio” is scrupulously faithful to the grotesqueries of its source material.

Movie Review: ‘Promising Young Woman’

John Mulderig December 29, 2020
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News

This black comedy-tinged drama wastes its opportunity to make morally legitimate points about a genuine social evil.

Movie Review: ‘Soul’

John Mulderig December 29, 2020
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News

“Soul” a blend of drama and comedy, while often funny, fails to make a similar impact as past Pixar hits like “Up” and “Inside Out.”

Movie Review: ‘Wonder Woman 1984’

Joseph McAleer December 29, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie 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: ‘Half Brothers’

John Mulderig December 10, 2020
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie Reviews, News, World News

Though director Luke Greenfield’s odd-couple road trip movie produces the occasional laugh, it’s effectively undercut by the fact that neither of its lead characters is a believable figure.

Movie Review: ‘The Croods: A New Age’

Joseph McAleer December 2, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
Filed Under: Movie 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.
