Movie & Television Reviews

The Last Voyage of the Demeter registers as competent but uneven, with its evident artistic intent barely justifying the quarts of blood spilt as its plot unfolds.

“With This Light,” a documentary releasing in theaters Aug. 11 and then to streaming platforms, tells of the apostolic dynamism of Sister Maria Rosa Leggol, a Franciscan sister known as the “Mother Teresa” of Honduras.

In rebooting a decades-old franchise with “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” (Paramount), director and co-writer Jeff Rowe has the titular testudines take a meditative turn.

Good but gruesome more or less sums up “Resident Evil 4” (Capcom).

Those who enter “Haunted Mansion” (Disney) in search of laughs will likely come away from it more satisfied than those who go in seeking eerie chills.
