Movie & Television Reviews

Grown TV fans in search of eerie programming appropriate to the Halloween season may find that the mystery series “The Watcher” fits the bill. Made up of seven hour-long episodes, the show is currently streaming on Netflix.

Debates about the true nature of justice and heroism, as well as the proper use of force, pace the predictable dustups in “Black Adam,” director Jaume Collet-Serra’s adaptation of DC Comics lore.

Wrapping up a trilogy of installments that began with his 2018 reboot, director and co-writer David Gordon Green also brings to an ostensible conclusion the whole endlessly blood-soaked, 13-film franchise that reaches back to John Carpenter’s 1978 kick-off. But viewers of taste will be on their guard to see just how long this relief really lasts.

In rebooting a series that kicked off with the eponymous 1987 film, adapted from his novella by writer and helmer Clive Barker, David Bruckner re-immerses his audience in the loathsome world of Barker’s twisted imagination.

Lax moral standards mar the imaginative but hard-edged television special “Entergalactic,” which is currently streaming on Netflix.

Written and produced by another Franciscan religious, Sister Judith Ann Zielinski, the hour-long film is a presentation of the Interfaith Broadcasting Commission.
