Movie Review: ‘Love Hurts’

John MulderigFebruary 7, 20252 min read
Enjoyable humor and a touch of romance do increase the appeal of the otherwise frenetic actioner “Love Hurts” (Universal). A barrage of obscenities in the script, as well as fleeting forays into visual grisliness, are less welcome elements.

Movie Review: ‘You’re Cordially Invited’

John MulderigFebruary 6, 20252 min read
Despite being billed as a romantic comedy, “You’re Cordially Invited” (Amazon MGM) showcases more spite than genuine love. Throw in a heavy dose of off-color dialogue — as well as some wayward values — and the upshot is a mirthless, even dispiriting, experience.

Movie Review: ‘Dog Man’

John MulderigFebruary 5, 20252 min read
Comic chaos is the order of the day in “Dog Man” (Universal), the animated adaptation of a series of graphic novels by Dav Pilkey. Yet touching sentiments are also successfully incorporated into writer-director Peter Hastings’ film.

Movie Review: ‘Flight Risk’

Movie Review: ‘Back in Action’

John MulderigJanuary 24, 20253 min read
Two double lives provide the context for some good one-liners in the generally enjoyable espionage comedy “Back in Action” (Netflix). Unfortunately, however, the quality of the humor flags as the film’s plot progresses and some of the material viewers encounter along the way makes this production an apt choice for grown-ups only.

Top 10 Films of 2024

John MulderigJanuary 23, 20257 min read
2024 is not likely to be remembered as an outstanding era in movie history. How many of the pictures released nationwide last year will stand the test of time remains open to question. Yet some quality productions were discernible as the months passed.
