Movie Review: ‘Stillwater’

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

Matt Damon plays a man in search of redemption and renewal in the bleak yet touching drama “Stillwater”.

Movie Review: ‘Jungle Cruise’

July 28, 2021

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

For most of its running time, the lighthearted adventure “Jungle Cruise” (Disney), adapted by director Jaume Collet-Serra from a Magic Kingdom theme park ride, registers as a diverting, if insubstantial, fantasy.

Movie Review: ‘Old’

July 28, 2021

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, World News

A day at the beach is no day at the beach in the thriller “Old” (Universal).

Movie Review: ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy ‘

July 15, 2021

Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

There’s a strained tone to “Space Jam: A New Legacy” (Warner Bros.), director Malcolm D. Lee’s sequel to the 1996 sports comedy.

Movie Review: ‘The Boss Baby: Family Business’

July 7, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Its chaotic plot and somewhat colicky disposition may leave viewers of the sequel “The Boss Baby: Family Business” (Universal) wishing the stork had stayed home this time.

Movie Review: ‘F9: The Fast Saga’

July 1, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Nondenominational religious flourishes and an emphasis on the value of family offset occasionally intense showdowns and some unsavory vocabulary in “F9: The Fast Saga” (Universal).

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: ‘Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway ‘

June 17, 2021
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

The beloved characters created by Beatrix Potter in her series of children’s books stray even further from their amiable roots in this sequel to the 2018 film, a blend of live action and computer-generated animation once again directed and co-written by Will Gluck.

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

June 9, 2021

Catholic Review

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

Movie Review: ‘Spirit Untamed’

June 3, 2021
By Sister Hosea Rupprecht
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Visually stunning, the new feature — directed by Elaine Bogan with co-director Ennio Torresan Jr. — is also family-friendly. It can, accordingly, be recommended for all but small fry, who might find its action scenes too frightening.

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.
