Movie Review: ‘Eternals’

November 4, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

A mixed bag, both ethically and cinematically, director and co-writer Chloé Zhao’s Marvel Comics adaptation “Eternals” (Disney) is presented on an undeniably large scale.

T.V. Review: ‘The Oratorio: A Documentary With Martin Scorsese,’ Nov. 5, PBS

October 27, 2021

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

Charming and uplifting, “The Oratorio” recounts the efforts of those who help to run the 200-year-old St. Patrick’s, along with others, to remember and recreate a largely forgotten operatic performance that took place there June 22, 1826 — and that represented a milestone in the cultural history of New York City.

T.V. Review: ‘One of Us Is Lying’

October 13, 2021
By Chris Byrd

Overall, the show makes for a tiresome course in youthful amorality. So viewers would be well-advised to opt for a different elective.

T.V. Review: ‘Midnight Mass’

October 7, 2021
By Chris Byrd
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

While the series takes an ambiguous approach in its treatment of faith, “Midnight Mass” is logically flawed as well as lurid.

Movie Review: ‘The Addams Family 2’

October 6, 2021
By Joseph McAleer
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews

In the animated comedy “The Addams Family 2,” the beloved characters from the imagination of Charles Addams are as creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky as ever, and the humor remains dark and macabre, but overall good-natured.

September 24, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Feature, Movie & Television Reviews

Clint Eastwood directed and stars in the gentle, though naive, road movie “Cry Macho” (Warner Bros.).

Movie Review: ‘Cinderella’

September 16, 2021
By John Mulderig
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Movie & Television Reviews, News

Writer-director Kay Cannon’s screechy romance “Cinderella” (Amazon) is an obnoxious corruption of the classic folk tale, the most familiar version of which was penned by French writer Charles Perrault in the 17th century.

September 8, 2021
By John Mulderig
