MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Elvis’

June 30, 2022
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Wise men say only fools rush in — and skip seeing “Elvis” (Warner Bros), a highly entertaining, turbocharged biography of a music legend.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Lightyear’

June 17, 2022

“Lightyear” (Disney) blasts off in cinemas with controversy in its wake.

TV REVIEW: ‘Hotel Portofino’

June 16, 2022
By Chris Byrd
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The six-episode drama “Hotel Portofino” presents viewers with an unequal mix of banal storytelling and relevant social commentary. The series’ picturesque setting in the namesake Italian resort, moreover, fails to mask the amoral maneuverings of the titular hostelry’s inhabitants.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Jurassic World Dominion’

June 8, 2022

Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

“Jurassic World Dominion” (Universal), which wraps up the second trilogy of films ultimately derived from novels by Michael Crichton, features not only the duo whose adventures have been charted in the more recent movies, but the trio of scientists at the heart of the 1993 original as well.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Downton Abbey: A New Era’

June 1, 2022

Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

It’s been three long years since Maggie Smith’s tart-tongued matriarch, Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, got off one of her memorable zingers. So it must be time for “Downton Abbey: A New Era” (Focus).

MOVIE REVIEW: Top Gun: Maverick

May 26, 2022
By Catholic News Service
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, Uncategorized

Off they go into the wild blue yonder — again — in “Top Gun: Maverick” (Paramount), a rousing sequel to the 1986 blockbuster about one of the U.S. Navy’s elite flying squadrons and its gaggle of cocky fighter pilots.

MOVIE REVIEW: The Bob’s Burgers Movie

May 26, 2022
By John Mulderig
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

In adapting a long-running Fox TV show for the big screen, directors Loren Bouchard and Bernard Derriman mix wry observations and quirky personalities with a few jaunty songs to give us “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” (20th Century).

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Family Camp’

May 18, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

There’s some good news about the evangelical comedy “Family Camp” (Roadside): Predictably, it’s almost squeaky clean and thus appropriate for a wide range of age groups. But that’s, alas, where the glad tidings about this leaden production cease.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’

May 9, 2022
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The award for the most appropriate film title of 2022 goes to “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (Disney). Truly, this is a maddening, multidimensional, decidedly strange, yet typically “Marvel”-ous movie based on the comic book series.

TV REVIEW: ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’

May 5, 2022
By Chris Byrd
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Billed as a continuation — not a reboot — the eponymous 10-episode limited-series drama “The Man Who Fell to Earth” premiered April 24, 10-11 p.m. on Showtime. It will continue in that time slot throughout its run, concluding July 3.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Northman’

April 28, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Set at the turn of the 10th century, the Viking epic “The Northman” (Focus) seeks to immerse viewers in the Nordic culture of that era.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Bad Guys’

April 27, 2022
By Sister Hosea Rupprecht
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The heist genre gets a fresh burst of frenetic energy with the animated comedy “The Bad Guys” (Universal). This high-octane, older-kid-friendly caper is veteran animator Pierre Perifel’s feature debut — and the neophyte director nails it.
