Movie Review: ‘Spirit Untamed’

June 3, 2021
By Sister Hosea Rupprecht
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Visually stunning, the new feature — directed by Elaine Bogan with co-director Ennio Torresan Jr. — is also family-friendly. It can, accordingly, be recommended for all but small fry, who might find its action scenes too frightening.

Adults who want nothing more than to watch two gifted actresses camp it up will likely be satisfied with director Craig Gillespie’s glossy romp “Cruella” (Disney). Parents on the lookout for safe family fare, not so much.

This movie is an intelligent, if flawed, thriller suitable for a broad audience of grown-ups.

Movie Review: ‘Here Today’

May 13, 2021

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

In adapting his script partner Alan Zweibel’s short story “The Prize” into the seriocomedy “Here Today,” director and co-writer Billy Crystal sets out to blend breezy humor with poignant drama. Unfortunately, the film falls flat in both respects.

Movie Review: ‘Voyagers’

April 28, 2021

Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

The tedious sci-fi parable “Voyagers” (Lionsgate) seems designed to prove that in space, no one can hear you yawn.

PBS documentary explores creator of ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’

MacLowry and Strain, moreover, can be commended for refusing to ignore the unpleasant aspects of Baum’s character, traits that don’t easily square with viewers’ preconceptions concerning the author of a beloved text.

Movie Review: ‘Roe v. Wade’

April 14, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Allyn and Loeb’s treatment of one of the most controverted political topics in recent history emerges as more ambitious and earnest than successful.

Movie Review: ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’

March 31, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

This movie is a visually spectacular but dramatically feeble creature feature from director Adam Wingard.

Movie Review: ‘Resurrection’

March 25, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Easter, Feature, Movie & Television Reviews, News, World News

Though its tone is sometimes overheated, this is a handsomely done dramatization of the most essential period in human history.
