Movie Review: ‘Come Play’

November 4, 2020

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

If the monster movie “Come Play” (Focus) is only reasonably effective in frightening its audience, it is at least refreshingly free of objectionable material, including gore.

Movie Review: ‘Fishbowl’

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, World News

Logical flaws make this drama’s plot difficult to embrace, or even comprehend. Some dialogue expressing the inner lives of the characters would have been a great help.

Sacha Baron Cohen (right) stars as Abbie Hoffman in The Trail of the Chicago 7.

Far-fetched and ham-fisted, the grim fantasy “Antebellum” (Lionsgate) is marked by an outlook on timely racial issues that lacks both balance and a humane spirit.

Movie Review: ‘Infidel’

In dealing with religious conflict in Iran, it stereotypes Muslims as having beaky noses, scowling constantly and being prone to wishing, and committing, violence on those who disrespect Islam.

Movie Review: ‘Mulan’

September 16, 2020

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

The film is sprawling and picturesque. And, as scripted by Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Lauren Hynek and Elizabeth Martin, it salutes courage, solidarity and devotion to family while also showcasing the conversion of one of its villains.

Kenneth Branagh stars in a scene from the movie "Tenet."

Movie review: ‘Tenent’

September 4, 2020
By Joseph McAleer
