Movie Review: ‘Padre Pio’

June 1, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

The film is less a profile of the titular saint, Padre Pio, played passionately by Shia LaBeouf, than a portrait of San Giovanni Rotondo, the Apulian town of his Capuchin monastery, in the period immediately after World War I.

Movie Review: ‘The Boogeyman’

Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Director Rob Savage’s feature-length screen version of horror-meister Stephen King’s yarn arrives as the above-average chiller “The Boogeyman” (20th Century).

Videogame Review: ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’

June 1, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

While this chapter of Zelda’s story includes little in the way of inappropriate content, the challenges within it are too taxing for little kids.

Movie Review: ‘The Little Mermaid’

May 25, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

There’s nothing shopworn about Marshall’s skilled and sprightly repackaging – old-fashioned in the best sense, it’s a high-quality, family friendly summer treat.

TV Review: ‘Mrs. Davis’

May 24, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

“Mrs. Davis” is not anti-religious in any sense. But it’s clear that showrunner and co-writer Tara Hernandez – along with her principal script collaborator, Damon Lindelof – is out to break boundaries and flout convention in her presentation of faith as well as in her approach to storytelling.

Videogame review: ‘Tin Hearts’

May 18, 2023
By Adele Chapline Smith
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

With its winning story and endearing animations, “Tin Hearts” (Wired Productions) proves a golden option for gamers.

Movie Review: ‘Book Club: The Next Chapter”

May 18, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

With age comes wisdom, so we’re told. But apparently that doesn’t apply to the quartet of AARP-eligible friends at the core of the romantic comedy sequel “Book Club: The Next Chapter” (Focus).

Movie Review: ‘Fast X’

May 17, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

As its title indicates, “Fast X” (Universal) is the 10th direct installment of the “Fast & Furious” car-racing franchise that first put the pedal to the metal back in 2001.

TV Review: ‘Citadel’

May 10, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Amnesia is a hoary device for inserting drama into a fictional tale, and the writers of the hard-edged but less than convincing espionage yarn “Citadel” rely heavily on it.

Movie Review: ‘Big George Foreman’

May 10, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, Sports

Sports and faith come together in this generally family-friendly and appealing fact-based biography of the titular heavyweight boxing champion.

Movie Review: ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’

May 4, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

There’s a somber tone to long patches of this wrap-up of James Gunn’s trilogy, which also lacks the verve that characterized its predecessors.
