Movie & Television Reviews

As scripted by Jimmy Warden, director Elizabeth Banks’ dark comedy, “Cocaine Bear,” starts out as an amusing ensemble piece about eccentric characters brought into contact by bizarre circumstances.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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