Movie Review: ‘Encanto’

John MulderigNovember 30, 20213 min read
Will viewers be charmed by “Encanto” (Disney)? For the most part, the answer is probably yes, though this vivacious animated musical does include content that could be of concern for the parents of impressionable kids.

Movie Review: ‘Belfast’

John MulderigNovember 17, 20213 min read
In 1969, as the wider world focused on such events as Apollo 11’s mission to the Moon, long-simmering sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland boiled over, initiating a period of religious and political strife, known as the Troubles, that would last for the next 30 years.

Movie Review: ‘Clifford the Big Red Dog’

John MulderigNovember 17, 20213 min read
This adaptation of a series of children’s books by Norman Bridwell, the first of which was published in 1963, is silly but mostly harmless.

T.V. Review: ‘The Oratorio: A Documentary With Martin Scorsese,’ Nov. 5, PBS

Chris ByrdOctober 27, 20214 min read
Charming and uplifting, “The Oratorio” recounts the efforts of those who help to run the 200-year-old St. Patrick’s, along with others, to remember and recreate a largely forgotten operatic performance that took place there June 22, 1826 — and that represented a milestone in the cultural history of New York City.
