Movie Review: ‘Freakier Friday’

John MulderigAugust 11, 20253 min read
More than two decades later, the duo reprise their roles while screenwriter Jordan Weiss raises the stakes with further complications in “Freakier Friday” (Disney). While not a knee-slapper, the sequel is at least mostly wholesome.

Movie Review: ‘The Naked Gun’

John MulderigAugust 8, 20252 min read
For most of its running time, the intermittently amusing comedy “The Naked Gun” (Paramount), a sendup of the hardboiled cop genre, qualifies as a fun spoof that’s appropriate for most grown-ups. Yet its one sequence of utterly tasteless sexual sight gags will leave discerning viewers anything but entertained.

Review: ‘Art Detectives,’ streaming, Acorn TV

Garan SanticolaAugust 6, 20253 min read
All six roughly 45 minute-long episodes of the series “Art Detectives” are currently streaming on Acorn TV. The British production combines the cozy variety of mystery solving that forms a staple of UK television with easily accessible sophistication.

Movie Review: ‘The Bad Guys 2’

John MulderigAugust 4, 20253 min read
Now joined by co-director J.P. Sans, Perifel has crafted an equally enjoyable follow-up, “The Bad Guys 2” (Universal). While this second installment continues the ensemble’s conversion story, the script — on which the first movie’s writer, Etan Cohen, collaborated with Yoni Brenner — also includes enough potty-centric material to annoy at least some parents.

John MulderigJuly 31, 20253 min read
Set in an alternate version of the mid-1960s, director Matt Shakman’s Marvel Comics adaptation “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” (Disney) can fairly be called the TWA Hotel of superhero movies.

Movie Review: ‘Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight’

Kurt JensenJuly 30, 20253 min read
“Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” is writer-director Embeth Davidtz’s adaptation of Alexandra Fuller’s 2001 memoir of her childhood in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia). The respectful and evocative drama recounts its protagonist’s slowly dawning recognition of racial inequality in her homeland.

Catholic ‘American Ninja Warrior’ fights world hunger, one obstacle at a time

Catherine OdellJuly 25, 20255 min read
A 19-year-old student athlete at the University of Notre Dame just competed on the televised July 14 semifinals of “American Ninja Warrior” in Las Vegas. He really isn’t doing it for the glory or the chance to “go pro” as a full time ninja warrior.
