‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘Succession’: What makes a good dad?

Greg ErlandsonJune 13, 20234 min read
If “Succession” is a close examination of humanity gone bad, “Ted Lasso” is refreshingly aspirational.
Videogame Review: ‘Death or Treat’

Videogame Review: ‘Death or Treat’

Adele Chapline SmithJune 8, 20232 min read
Beautiful artwork is one of the few assets “Death or Treat” (Perp Games) has going for it. But that’s not enough to redeem this slightly macabre 2D action game, which otherwise feels feeble.

Movie Review: ‘Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse’

John MulderigJune 7, 20232 min read
The parade of Spideys is something of an inside joke and may prove confusing to the uninitiated. But the film overall – which is safest for grown-ups but also possibly acceptable for mature adolescents – is a lively crowd pleaser and will likely be catnip for hardcore fans.
Movie Review: ‘Padre Pio’
Movie & Television Reviews

Movie Review: ‘Padre Pio’

John MulderigJune 1, 20233 min read
The film is less a profile of the titular saint, Padre Pio, played passionately by Shia LaBeouf, than a portrait of San Giovanni Rotondo, the Apulian town of his Capuchin monastery, in the period immediately after World War I.

Movie & Television Reviews

Movie Review: ‘The Boogeyman’

John MulderigJune 1, 20233 min read
Director Rob Savage’s feature-length screen version of horror-meister Stephen King’s yarn arrives as the above-average chiller “The Boogeyman” (20th Century).

Videogame Review: ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’

Adele Chapline SmithJune 1, 20233 min read
While this chapter of Zelda’s story includes little in the way of inappropriate content, the challenges within it are too taxing for little kids.
Shia LaBeouf: ‘I fell in love with Christ’ to portray Padre Pio on screen

Shia LaBeouf: ‘I fell in love with Christ’ to portray Padre Pio on screen

Gina ChristianMay 31, 20235 min read
Actor Shia LaBeouf portrays St. Pio of Pietrelcina in the new drama “Padre Pio,” which premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival and will be released in U.S. theaters and on demand June 2.

Movie Review: ‘The Little Mermaid’

John MulderigMay 25, 20233 min read
There’s nothing shopworn about Marshall’s skilled and sprightly repackaging – old-fashioned in the best sense, it’s a high-quality, family friendly summer treat.
TV Review: ‘Mrs. Davis’
Movie & Television Reviews

TV Review: ‘Mrs. Davis’

John MulderigMay 24, 20233 min read
“Mrs. Davis” is not anti-religious in any sense. But it’s clear that showrunner and co-writer Tara Hernandez – along with her principal script collaborator, Damon Lindelof – is out to break boundaries and flout convention in her presentation of faith as well as in her approach to storytelling.

Videogame review: ‘Tin Hearts’

Adele Chapline SmithMay 18, 20233 min read
With its winning story and endearing animations, “Tin Hearts” (Wired Productions) proves a golden option for gamers.
