Hacksaw Ridge
Hacksaw Ridge is riveting cinema. But it’s also bloody—as bloody as we’ve seen on screen for a long, long time.
Doctor Strange
Aesthetically, Doctor Strange is a good movie, one of the strongest in the Marvel canon thus far. But is it a good movie? A movie suitable for you or your family? That depends.
Inferno
Inferno is one of those movies where the villain seems determined to launch doomsday through the most convoluted manner imaginable … apparently just to give the hero something to do.
Moonlight
Moonlight, as mesmerizing as the movie is, isn’t just filled with problematic content: It gives us a message counter to what we believe God tells us.
Keeping Up With The Joneses
Some funny flicks weave a little too much yuck in with their yuk-yuk. Before you know it, a guffaw becomes an “Are the kids watching this?” wince. Keeping Up With The Joneses is one of those movies.
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
Everything is much like you’d expect it to be on this ride. The characters. The plot. The peril. The content. Oh, yes, the content is exactly what we’d expect in a PG-13 actioner.
Ouija: Origin of Evil
As this fright flick’s occult mayhem gets predictably unleashed, it quickly falls back on all that evil-spirit-possession, scream-and-die blech that one might expect from this tired genre.
Boo! A Madea Halloween
Madea represents a kind of no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners justice. She’ll get folks to act “right” even if she has to beat them to do it.
The Accountant
The Accountant is violent popcorn fare—an exuberant, illogical action-packed thriller that’s only message is, “Sit down and watch Ben Affleck shoot people for a while.”
Priceless
Priceless does an admirable job of helping us see and sense the danger of the carnal world of human trafficking while still steering visually clear of its true horrors.
