March 2, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin have co-directed a fictional riff on dogs in war, and the result is the quirky, good-natured — but not family-friendly — road movie “Dog” (MGM).

Movie Review: ‘Uncharted’

February 23, 2022

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

A thin stringing together of stunts, “Uncharted” (Columbia) is a tiresome treasure hunt tale, adapted from a series of video games by director Ruben Fleischer.

Movie Review: ‘Marry Me’

February 16, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

For most of its running time, the romantic comedy “Marry Me” (Universal) registers as an amiable, if unlikely, fantasy whose script, penned by John Rogers and Tami Sagher, shows some inclination toward traditional values.

Movie Review: ‘Moonfall’

February 4, 2022

Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

One way to grab moviegoers’ attention is to threaten those on screen with doomsday. It’s a tactic director Roland Emmerich has resorted to repeatedly and to which he returns with “Moonfall,” a sullen science-fiction fantasy.

Movie Review: ‘Hotel Transylvania: Transformania’

January 20, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
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 355’

January 7, 2022
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Who needs one James Bond when you can have five Jane Bonds? That’s the premise behind “The 355” (Universal), an entertaining thriller featuring a quintet of lady spies.

Movie Review: ‘American Underdog’

December 23, 2021
By Kurt Jensen
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Cheerful as a dance floor boot scoot and livelier than a touchdown drive, the sports-themed, faith-tinged biopic “American Underdog” (Lionsgate) goes light on matters of religion, focusing instead on the steep challenge of building a career in the NFL.

December 22, 2021
By Sister Hosea Rupprecht
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

“Sing 2” (Universal), writer-director Garth Jennings’ follow-up to his 2016 animated musical comedy, finds that film’s ensemble of animal entertainers aiming for the big time.
