Tony GutierrezJuly 10, 20267 min read
Francisco Bocel remembers the night three assassins forced him to bring them to Father Stanley Rother. Bocel shared how he still carries that traumatic moment with him — one of many being featured — in an upcoming documentary on the life of the slain priest.

Movie Review: ‘Minions & Monsters’

John MulderigJuly 6, 20263 min read
Set primarily in the Hollywood of the 1920s, the delightful animated comedy “Minions & Monsters” (Universal) is at once director and co-writer Pierre Coffin’s paean to and satire of early Tinseltown.

Movie Review: ‘Supergirl’

John MulderigJune 29, 20263 min read
At what is meant to be a poignant moment in the DC Comics adaptation “Supergirl” (Warner Bros.), the title character, played by Milly Alcock, is told by her mother (Emily Beecham) that she doesn’t have to be nice but she must be good. The recipient of this advice takes it to heart in a way that lends the whole film an unpleasant tone.

Movie Review: ‘Toy Story 5’

John MulderigJune 22, 20262 min read
A deservedly much-loved animated series gets a touching extension with the arrival of “Toy Story 5” (Disney). The franchise’s hallmark combination of sunny humor and emotional intelligence continues to make for outstanding entertainment, this time under the direction of co-writer Andrew Stanton.

Movie Review: ‘Disclosure Day’

John MulderigJune 15, 20263 min read
The truth is out there, and director Steven Spielberg ultimately intends to tell you all about it with his grandiose, vaguely paranoid fantasy “Disclosure Day” (Universal).

Movie Review: ‘Scary Movie’

John MulderigJune 11, 20262 min read
A torrent of degraded sexual jokes overwhelms the few successful one-liners in “Scary Movie” (Paramount), a slipshod send-up of recent horror films and various other aspects of pop culture.

Movie Review: ‘Masters of the Universe’

John MulderigJune 11, 20263 min read
Given that the franchise it extends dates back to the 1982 release of a Mattel line of action toys and that its protagonist’s moniker, when in superhero mode, is He-Man, sensible viewers will not approach the adventure “Masters of the Universe” (Amazon MGM) expecting brilliant insights into the human condition.

Movie Review: ‘Backrooms’

John MulderigJune 8, 20263 min read
“Backrooms” (A24) is that rarity among contemporary horror films, an intelligent and unsettling psychological study that doesn’t substitute wallowing in blood for the work of evoking real chills. While the movie is mostly free of graphic imagery, however, it does include some briefly intense mayhem.
