Movie & Television Reviews

Decadence turns dangerous in the dark psychological thriller “Blink Twice” (Amazon MGM). As it does so, actress Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, which she penned together with E.T. Feigenbaum, crosses the boundaries of the ethically acceptable, especially by seeking to evoke moviegoers’ most visceral emotions.

The sober drama “It Ends With Us” (Columbia) takes on the grim problem of spousal abuse. While the film has its lighter moments, it also has defects that lessen its impact and moves toward a conclusion that requires careful assessment from a Catholic perspective.

Writer-director M. Night Shyamalan can be credited with a certain degree of originality in the crafting of his thriller “Trap.”

Rampant slaughter interspersed with snark characterizes the Marvel Comics adaptation “Deadpool & Wolverine” (Disney).

As is well-known, illiteracy was widespread during the Middle Ages. To judge by the characters who populate the limited-series television comedy “The Decameron,” however, so too was rank stupidity.
