Media Notebook: ‘The Blood of Jesus’

February 23, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Simple, straightforward and even naive, “The Blood of Jesus” is also, at times, dreamy and ethereal.

Movie Review: ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’

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

As suggested by its rather cumbersome title, there’s a lot going on in “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” (Disney). Unfortunately, the film, while free of gore and any really problematic material, ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

Videogame Review: ‘Risen’

February 16, 2023
By Adele Chapline Smith
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Originally released in 2009, the action role-playing game “Risen” (THQ Nordic) is making a comeback for its debut on the Nintendo Switch.

‘Wonder’ film series shows faith, science not at war, says Bishop Barron

February 11, 2023

OSV News
Filed Under: Environment, Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

The Word on Fire evangelization ministry recently announced the release of “Wonder,” a five-part documentary project that explores the interplay between various aspects of science and Catholic tradition.

Movie Review: ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’

February 9, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

While this latest “Magic Mike” outing focuses more on tripping the light fantastic than undressing, sleazy behavior and wayward underlying values make it unacceptable nonetheless.

Movie Review: ‘Lourdes’

February 7, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In the documentary “Lourdes” (Distrib Films), filmmakers Alban Teurlai and Thierry Demaiziere present a moving portrait of one of the world’s most popular pilgrimage sites and of the suffering people who are drawn to it.

Movie Review: ’80 for Brady’

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

A bunch of talented stars headline the comedy “80 for Brady” (Paramount). But they’re left becalmed by the inertia of this going-through-the-motions paean to football fandom.

Movie Review: ‘Knock at the Cabin’

February 2, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

It may be the end of the world as we know it in “Knock at the Cabin.” But, unlike R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, no one in this offbeat but effective thriller feels fine.

Video game review: ‘Forspoken’

February 1, 2023
By Adele Chapline Smith
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

Contemporary reality clashes with high fantasy in the action-adventure “Forspoken.”

Movie Review: ‘M3GAN’

January 31, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

By subverting its central trope, screenwriter Akela Cooper and director Gerard Johnstone serve up a wickedly funny treat in “M3GAN.”

Movie Review: ‘Missing’

January 26, 2023
By John Mulderig
OSV News
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

It’s the adolescent child and not the parent who’s at the center of the action in “Missing.”

Movie Review: ‘The Pale Blue Eye’

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

The idea of incorporating iconic author Edgar Allan Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story, into a whodunit would seem like a winning one.
