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’

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 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

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’

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.
