Movie Review: Superman

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In the spring of 1938, when the figure of Superman made his first appearance in the pages of DC’s “Action Comics #1,” President Franklin Roosevelt’s efforts to combat the Great Depression via the New Deal were at their height. There had as yet been only one world war and Lou Gehrig was still playing for the New York Yankees.

It’s too simplistic to refer to “Sorry, Baby” (A24) as a #MeToo movie. Yet the film is topical as well as important and compelling.

Some 35 years ago, author Michael Crichton pondered the disastrous implications of using DNA to revive various species of dinosaurs. Suffice it to say that the consequences of this ill-advised fictional project, as chronicled on screen across the decades, have borne little resemblance to an episode of “The Flintstones.”

Movie Review: M3GAN 2.0

The same crackling wit that marked the 2022 debut of the murderously malfunctioning android of the title is present again as she makes a seemingly unlikely comeback in “M3GAN 2.0” (Universal). As was the case with the original film, however, her latest adventures are best savored by mature moviegoers.

Faith is put under the spotlight to a much greater degree in the auteur’s latest quirky work, “The Phoenician Scheme” (Focus), and the results are far more negative.

Movie Review: ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

June 11, 2025

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

A decade and a half after its popular animated namesake was released comes the live-action remake “How to Train Your Dragon.” While the basic story and some of the personnel remain the same, the new arrival, although appropriate for a wide audience, falls short of the heights to which its predecessor soared.

Movie Review: ‘The Ritual’

June 9, 2025
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In a commendable effort to avoid sensationalism in his dramatization of allegedly real events, set in the Midwest in 1928, director and co-writer David Midell downplays the chills and icky special effects to concentrate on more cerebral matters.
