Caviezel: ‘Sound of Freedom’ a ‘weapon of mass instruction’ to end child trafficking

Gina ChristianJune 28, 20235 min read
A new film starring Jim Caviezel aims to move millions to end the scourge of child trafficking.

Movie Review: ‘No Hard Feelings’

John MulderigJune 23, 20232 min read
In the often-raunchy comedy “No Hard Feelings” (Sony) star Jennifer Lawrence plays a woman who agrees to sell her body for a Buick.

Movie Review: ‘The Blackening’

Kurt JensenJune 22, 20233 min read
“The Blackening” (Lionsgate) is a brilliant comic riff on what constitutes authentic African American identity.

Movie Review: ‘The Flash’

John MulderigJune 16, 20233 min read
A fundamental message about accepting both the good and bad that befall us is mixed up with ingredients that make this a doubtful proposition for the teens at whom, along with grown-ups, the movie is presumably aimed.

Movie & Television Reviews

Movie Review: ‘Elemental’

John MulderigJune 14, 20233 min read
Thanks to its rich blend of ethnicities, the United States has long been referred to as a melting pot. In the animated romantic comedy “Elemental” (Disney), director Peter Sohn substitutes for that metaphor a fable featuring embodiments of the four elements, using the dynamics of their imaginary world to explore the immigrant experience.

Movie Review: ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’

Kurt JensenJune 14, 20233 min read
We know, going in, what to expect from the seventh installment in the big-screen franchise, “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” (Paramount). Namely, a story based on the Hasbro toy line about the heroic Autobots battling a malignant plan for world domination.

‘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’
Movie & Television Reviews

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 & Television Reviews

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.
