After delay, Season Four of the ‘The Chosen’ begins streaming

June 4, 2024

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The fourth season of the Biblically-based television series “The Chosen” began streaming, Sunday, June 2. Although all eight episodes of the new season had been released in theaters beginning in February, streaming availability had been delayed — reportedly by legal disputes.

Movie Review: ‘The Garfield Movie’

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The world’s most famous lasagne-loving, Mondays-averse feline gets a third big-screen outing with “The Garfield Movie” (Columbia). Director Mark Dindal’s animated adaptation of cartoonist Jim Davis’ long-running comic strip is generally amiable and family-friendly. Yet it’s only fitfully amusing and feels disposable.

Movie Review: ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’

Taking a step back within its own chronology, the series now continues with an origin story for one of the main characters in the last outing, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” (Warner Bros.).

Movie Review: ‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’

Some games are no fun, like playing cat and mouse with homicidal maniacs. Such is the desperate fate that befalls the main characters in the penny dreadful “The Strangers: Chapter 1” (Lionsgate). Why moviegoers would want to bear witness to their meaningless ordeal, however, remains a mystery.

Rolling out the red carpet: Jesus on the big screen

May 17, 2024

OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Movie & Television Reviews

As a columnist with a case for press credentials in the Catholic space and a close friend in public relations, I’ve attended a few movie premieres. But I had never been to a “Red Carpet” event until the one held for “Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist,” a new limited theatrical release documentary.

Movie Review: ‘IF’

May 17, 2024
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

John Krasinski wrote, directed and plays a prominent role in the generally wholesome fantasy “IF” (Paramount). Yet, while the good intentions behind his film are evident, it ends up registering as a sweet but flawed piece of entertainment, one that gets in its own way by trying too hard to be liked.

TV Review: Lost childhood and cycles of violence in Hulu’s ‘Under the Bridge’

Hulu’s “Under the Bridge,” based on a true story, premiered in April and will continue to release new episodes weekly through May 29. The drama, rated TV-MA largely for its violence and language, stars Keough (of Prime Video’s “Daisy Jones and the Six”) and Golden Globe winner Lily Gladstone.

Movie Review: ‘Tarot’

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

What’s on the cards for viewers of the horror flick “Tarot” (Screen Gems)? As it turns out, not much. While the bloodletting on display in this inept production is relatively restrained, the characters are cardboard and the mythos explaining their bedevilment lame.
