Movie Review: ‘Lifemark’

September 13, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

A mother and child reunion is more than a motion away in the sensitive fact-based drama “Lifemark” (Fathom). The subtle maneuvering required to bring it about provides much of the slender plot for this gently touching movie.

Airbnb beware: The horror tale “Barbarian” (20th Century) will do nothing to promote the rental of homes away from home.

Movie Review: ‘Samaritan’

September 9, 2022

Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The idea of casting Sylvester Stallone as a superhero seems natural enough. But the concept goes badly awry in the dreary, inept action thriller “Samaritan” (MGM/Amazon Prime).

With St. Teresa of Kolkata’s death 25 years ago, there is an entire generation of young men and women who did not see much about her life and legacy, serving “the poorest of the poor.”

Movie Review: ‘Look Both Ways’

September 1, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Despite its conformity to some misguided contemporary values, director Wanuri Kahiu’s film “Look Both Ways” has a low-key charm viewers will likely appreciate.

TV Review: ‘A League of Their Own’

Amazon Prime, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Television, have decided to dust off “A League of Their Own” and give us an eponymous eight-episode streaming version.

Movie Review: ‘Beast’

A quartet’s initially enjoyable excursion into the wilderness suddenly turns perilous when they run afoul of the predator from whom the movie takes its title.

Movie Review: ‘Slaves and Kings’ looks at life of 19th-century Spanish saint

August 15, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The social strife that roiled Spain, both during the 19th century and in the lead-up to that nation’s tragic 1936-39 civil war, serves as the background for the biography “Slaves and Kings”.

Movie Review: Thirteen Lives

August 12, 2022
By John Mulderig
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Director Ron Howard provides an understated chronicle of heroic real-life events in the
absorbing dramatization “Thirteen Lives.” While a bit of off-color dialogue
precludes endorsement for young viewers, the value of the film’s portrait of humanity at its best makes it
acceptable for older adolescents.
