Movie Review: ‘Jesus Revolution’

John MulderigMarch 2, 20233 min read
Refreshingly free of the usual objectionable ingredients, this generally appealing Evangelically flavored look back at a somewhat surprising chapter in Baby Boomer history is doctrinally dodgy but ethically uplifting.

Movie Review: ‘Cocaine Bear’

John MulderigFebruary 25, 20232 min read
As scripted by Jimmy Warden, director Elizabeth Banks’ dark comedy, “Cocaine Bear,” starts out as an amusing ensemble piece about eccentric characters brought into contact by bizarre circumstances.

Media Notebook: ‘The Blood of Jesus’

John MulderigFebruary 23, 20233 min read
Simple, straightforward and even naive, “The Blood of Jesus” is also, at times, dreamy and ethereal.

Movie Review: ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania’

John MulderigFebruary 17, 20233 min read
As suggested by its rather cumbersome title, there’s a lot going on in “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania” (Disney). Unfortunately, the film, while free of gore and any really problematic material, ultimately adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

Movie Review: ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance’

John MulderigFebruary 9, 20232 min read
While this latest “Magic Mike” outing focuses more on tripping the light fantastic than undressing, sleazy behavior and wayward underlying values make it unacceptable nonetheless.

Movie & Television Reviews

Movie Review: ‘Lourdes’

John MulderigFebruary 7, 20233 min read
In the documentary “Lourdes” (Distrib Films), filmmakers Alban Teurlai and Thierry Demaiziere present a moving portrait of one of the world’s most popular pilgrimage sites and of the suffering people who are drawn to it.

Movie Review: ’80 for Brady’

John MulderigFebruary 4, 20232 min read
A bunch of talented stars headline the comedy “80 for Brady” (Paramount). But they’re left becalmed by the inertia of this going-through-the-motions paean to football fandom.

Movie Review: ‘Knock at the Cabin’

John MulderigFebruary 2, 20233 min read
It may be the end of the world as we know it in “Knock at the Cabin.” But, unlike R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, no one in this offbeat but effective thriller feels fine.
