Movie Review: ‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’

Kurt JensenSeptember 5, 20254 min read
The knockabout mix of demonology and Catholic vaudeville that has characterized a popular franchise gets what’s billed as its final outing in “The Conjuring: Last Rites” (Warner Bros.). As though to bring things full circle, though, this adieu is linked to one of the two main characters’ very first encounter with the forces of darkness.

Movie Review: ‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’

John MulderigSeptember 5, 20254 min read
Both the upstairs and downstairs inhabitants of the titular stately home get a splendid send-off in “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale” (Focus). A couple of subplots interwoven into this third big-screen iteration of the franchise, however, suggest the abundant elegance it offers is best reserved for grown-ups.

Movie Review: ‘Ne Zha II’

John MulderigAugust 25, 20253 min read

Movie Review: ‘Honey Don’t!’

John MulderigAugust 25, 20252 min read
Moral squalor is the order of the day in the dark comedy “Honey Don’t!”. While clearly intended as an homage to film noir by director and co-writer (with Tricia Cooke) Ethan Coen, the rancid proceedings also borrow all too heavily from the sleazy world of 1960s and 1970s grindhouse fare.
