March 16, 2022

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

There are, in fact, two Adams in this time-travel themed tale. Adult Adam (Ryan Reynolds) hails from the year 2050. Arriving in the present, he teams with his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to nip a future problem for humanity in the bud.

TV REVIEW: ‘Lucy and Desi’

March 9, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

In the wake of writer-director Aaron Sorkin’s dramatization “Being the Ricardos,” comes a far different portrait of early television’s most iconic real-life couple, the warm and insightful documentary “Lucy and Desi.”

Movie review: ‘The Batman’

March 7, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Viewers will find themselves thoroughly absorbed by “The Batman” (Warner Bros.). Director and co-writer Matt Reeves’ reboot of the DC Comics-based franchise is a darkly powerful affair, and its script — penned with Peter Craig — plays with the interesting question whether the iconic crimefighter of the title is, in fact, a hero.

February 23, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

A thin stringing together of stunts, “Uncharted” (Columbia) is a tiresome treasure hunt tale, adapted from a series of video games by director Ruben Fleischer.

Movie Review: ‘Marry Me’

February 16, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

For most of its running time, the romantic comedy “Marry Me” (Universal) registers as an amiable, if unlikely, fantasy whose script, penned by John Rogers and Tami Sagher, shows some inclination toward traditional values.

Movie Review: ‘Moonfall’

February 4, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

One way to grab moviegoers’ attention is to threaten those on screen with doomsday. It’s a tactic director Roland Emmerich has resorted to repeatedly and to which he returns with “Moonfall,” a sullen science-fiction fantasy.
