Movie Review: ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

John MulderigJune 11, 20253 min read
A decade and a half after its popular animated namesake was released comes the live-action remake “How to Train Your Dragon.” While the basic story and some of the personnel remain the same, the new arrival, although appropriate for a wide audience, falls short of the heights to which its predecessor soared.

Movie Review: ‘The Ritual’

John MulderigJune 9, 20253 min read
In a commendable effort to avoid sensationalism in his dramatization of allegedly real events, set in the Midwest in 1928, director and co-writer David Midell downplays the chills and icky special effects to concentrate on more cerebral matters.

Inspired by millennial soon-to-be-saint, Irish teens created animated Lego-Carlo Acutis film

Sarah Mac DonaldJune 8, 20255 min read
In rural Limerick, three teenage brothers are turning Lego into a tool for evangelization as Blessed Carlo Acutis continues to inspire a new generation of digital evangelists.

‘The Ritual’ seeks to portray exorcism respectfully

Kurt JensenJune 5, 20254 min read
One thing seems certain about the exorcism-themed movie “The Ritual” (XYZ); it is not intended as the first installment in a franchise.

Movie Review: ‘Final Destination Bloodlines’

Kurt JensenMay 28, 20253 min read
The Grim Reaper will have his revenge on those who try to cheat him of his haul. Such is the dubious message of the franchise whose sixth installment, “Final Destination Bloodlines” (Warner Bros.), maintains the series’ high splatter factor while throwing in some “moral” posturing that only makes the film more repellant.

Movie Review: ‘Lilo & Stitch’

John MulderigMay 22, 20254 min read
“Lilo & Stitch” (Disney) is the latest yield of a long-term project on the part of the Mouse House to remake some of their more popular animated features of the past into live-action films. The result in this instance is a morally sound but shrill updating of a well-received — and, in some quarters, cherished — 2002 release.

Movie Review: ‘Sinners’

John MulderigMay 21, 20254 min read
Considered strictly as a piece of cinema, the genre-mashing feature “Sinners” (Warner Bros.) can be acknowledged to be a successful production in several respects. But assessed ethically from the standpoint of a Scripture-based worldview, writer-director Ryan Coogler’s film is critically deficient.
