Movie Reviews

The movie is the fourth film adaptation of the beloved 1911 children’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

“Boys State” is the title of a lively documentary that tracks four Texas teens as they experience this hands-on educational process.

At first glance, the polished drama “Summerland” (IFC) would seem to have a charming, if less-than-original, story to tell about the conversion of a lonely, hard-edged eccentric whose crusty ways are altered by the presence of a child.

The Catholic producer of the upcoming movie “Words on Bathroom Walls,” is always on the lookout for film scripts that have “a little bit of faith.”

At no point in “The Secret: Dare to Dream” (Lionsgate) does the dialogue remotely approach the way anyone speaks in real life.

There’s Arianism, Nestorianism, semi-Pelagianism and now there’s “The Burnt Orange Heresy” (Sony).

Director Miranda de Pencier’s drama “The Grizzlies” (Northwood Entertainment) tells the inspiring true story of a town that suffered the highest suicide rate in North America but found hope through the introduction of a lacrosse program for its teens.

Those chafing under the travel restrictions imposed by the current pandemic may take comfort from “The Rental” (IFC), the story of an oceanside getaway gone fatally wrong.
