A mixed bag, both ethically and cinematically, director and co-writer Chloé Zhao’s Marvel Comics adaptation “Eternals” (Disney) is presented on an undeniably large scale.

An intriguing but largely forgotten historical incident is skillfully recounted in the documentary “A Samurai in the Vatican.”

There are many knights but not much shining armor in the grim historical drama “The Last Duel” (20th Century).

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.

The gripping sci-fi epic “Dune” (Warner Bros.) arrives on screen with a notable real-life backstory.

Overall, the show makes for a tiresome course in youthful amorality. So viewers would be well-advised to opt for a different elective.

While the series takes an ambiguous approach in its treatment of faith, “Midnight Mass” is logically flawed as well as lurid.

In the animated comedy “The Addams Family 2,” the beloved characters from the imagination of Charles Addams are as creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky as ever, and the humor remains dark and macabre, but overall good-natured.

Clint Eastwood directed and stars in the gentle, though naive, road movie “Cry Macho” (Warner Bros.).

Director Stephen Chbosky’s screen version of the award-winning 2016 Broadway hit is marked, overall, by upright fundamental values.
