Wish Dragon

Boy and dragon in Wish Dragon

Obviously, a bit of magic is on tap. But the real magic of this movie lies in its lessons.

Counter Column

Two soldiers in Counter Column

Counter Column shines as an illustration of God at work—healing the hurting, redeeming the rejects, making something beautiful.

The Water Man

Family embracing in The Water Man

The Water Man is a deftly handled pic that trumpets love and understanding, even in the face of onrushing grief.

Minari

This picture of a Korean-American family includes mom, dad, two kids and grandma.

Minari is deeply rooted in the earth, a wellspring of both hope and pain, of boundless promise and terrifying disaster.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

Screen shot of a family being attacked by robots while driving a car in the animated kids movie "The Mitchells vs. the Machines."

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is fun, sweet and smart. It strays just a bit—but for some, that’ll be enough to steer clear.

Walking With Herb

George Lopez plays an angel named Herb, and we see him here in sunglasses, leather and holding an old-school football helmet.

Walking With Herb (screened by Fathom Events at theaters nationwide April 30, May 1 and May 3) left me scratching my head a bit.

Wonder Woman 1984

Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor walk purposefully.

As superhero sequels go, especially DC superhero sequels, Wonder Woman 1984 is pretty top-shelf.

Resurrection

Resurrection packs a visual and narrative punch that few Easter Sunday readings can match.

Raya and the Last Dragon

An Asian girl and a blue dragon look at each other.

Disney’s latest animated effort is a compelling, action-packed story and an allegory about how our brokenness separates us.
