Movie Review: ‘Heart of a Missionary’

August 29, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The life, work and legacy of the principal founder of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith is celebrated in the engaging documentary “Heart of a Missionary: The Story of Pauline Jaricot.”

Movie Review: ‘Beast’

August 19, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

A quartet’s initially enjoyable excursion into the wilderness suddenly turns perilous when they run afoul of the predator from whom the movie takes its title.

Movie Review: ‘Slaves and Kings’ looks at life of 19th-century Spanish saint

August 15, 2022

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The social strife that roiled Spain, both during the 19th century and in the lead-up to that nation’s tragic 1936-39 civil war, serves as the background for the biography “Slaves and Kings”.

Movie Review: Thirteen Lives

August 12, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Director Ron Howard provides an understated chronicle of heroic real-life events in the
absorbing dramatization “Thirteen Lives.” While a bit of off-color dialogue
precludes endorsement for young viewers, the value of the film’s portrait of humanity at its best makes it
acceptable for older adolescents.

Movie Review: ‘Predator’ prequel hunts for ‘Prey’

August 9, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, Uncategorized

It’s not often that a prequel carries a story back by centuries. Yet such is the case with the intriguing but sanguinary sci-fi action film “Prey” (20th Century/Hulu, beginning Aug. 5).

Movie Review: ‘Easter Sunday’

August 5, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The dialogue in Ken Cheng and Kate Angelo’s script, moreover, lapses into coarseness frequently enough to mark “Easter Sunday” as off-limits to kids. Older attendees will likely enjoy the occasional chuckle. But this mostly amiable production won’t make much of an impression on them.

Movie Review: ‘Bullet Train’

August 3, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Look for: A high-gloss production and witty dialogue. Look out for: Excessive gory violence, gruesome images, pervasive vulgar language, a few profanities, some premarital sensuality and sexual humor.

Pope Francis will be featured in a new documentary premiering at this year’s Venice Film Festival; the film covers his near decade of travel, with visits to almost 60 countries.

TV REVIEW: ‘D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!’

July 25, 2022
By Chris Byrd
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Over the past 50 years, D.B. Cooper has become one of the most famous aliases in history. Yet it was really under the name Dan Cooper that a still-unidentified man carried out the mysterious hijacking — and getaway — that have since made him the stuff of legend.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Nope’

July 21, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The inclusion of grimly ironic material makes “Nope” challenging fare even for grown-ups.

TV REVIEW: ‘The Last Movie Stars’

July 19, 2022
By Chris Byrd
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

It’s remarkable that storied actor Paul Newman’s union with fellow star Joanne Woodward endured for 50 years and only ended with his 2008 death from lung cancer, age 83.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank’

July 15, 2022
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Bathroom humor reaches new heights — make that depths — in “Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank” (Paramount), an animated martial-arts spoof with a most unlikely provenance.
