Movie Review: ‘John Wick: Chapter 4, a festival of fatality’

John MulderigMarch 23, 20233 min read
Stylish savagery is the order of the day as Keanu Reeves reprises his role as the hitman of the title. Wick’s ongoing struggle to break free of the High Table, the ultra-powerful behind-the-scenes criminal empire that once claimed his allegiance, becomes the cue for innumerable doomed extras to bite the dust.

Movie Review: ‘In Viaggio: The Travels of Pope Francis’

John MulderigMarch 22, 20232 min read
Despite its depiction of some of the world’s most pressing problems, filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi’s polished retrospective maintains a tranquil tone as it looks back over the 37 journeys to 53 different countries undertaken by the pontiff during the first nine years of his pontificate.

Movie Review: ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’

John MulderigMarch 17, 20234 min read
This sequel to the 2019 origin story for the titular DC Comics character serves up action, special effects and some humorous dialogue, it fails to make much of a lasting impression.

Movie Review: ‘Scream VI’

Kurt JensenMarch 10, 20233 min read
The dreary horror flick “Scream VI” is the latest entry in a franchise that now looks desperate for ways to rejigger its formula of attractive young actors getting stabbed by its trademark masked killer, Ghostface.

Movie Review: ‘Champions’

John MulderigMarch 9, 20233 min read
Positive basic values, including an implicit pro-life message, underlie the somewhat rough-grained surface of the sports comedy “Champions.”

Movie Review: ‘Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre’

John MulderigMarch 9, 20233 min read
The light-hearted tone of the stylish comic spy yarn “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” (Lionsgate) suggests that it should be approached in an equally relaxed mood.

Video Game Review: ‘Atomic Heart’

Adele Chapline SmithMarch 9, 20234 min read
Although “Atomic Heart” is set in an alternate version of the Soviet Union, the release of a game primarily focused on Russian military activity of any kind within days of the first anniversary of that nation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine registers as inappropriate at best and sinister at worst.

Movie Review: ‘Creed III’

John MulderigMarch 8, 20233 min read
