Our Catholic movie reviews are created with the Catholic single in mind. Looking for a good movie to take someone out on a first date? Bringing a first date to a film that is poorly done, boring, or morally offensive makes for an awkward first date.
Our Hollywood insider gets ahead of the movies and offers his reviews. Each movie is declared as either dateworthy or not dateworthy.
Don’t get stuck in a boring or offensive movie again! Be sure to check our Catholic movie reviews before you head to the theater!
Some movies come along at just the right time. Others run into bad luck because of when they’re released. “Zoolander” was one of the rare movies that had the blessing and the curse of being both. Released on September 28, 2001, Ben Stiller’s hilarious satire of the male-modeling industry came out just 17 days after […]
Over the course of nearly 20 films, Joel and Ethan Coen have veered between low-key movies like “Blood Simple” and “Fargo,” and wildly inventive movies on a grand scale such as “The Big Lebowski” and “The Hudsucker Proxy.” Their newest opus, “Hail, Caesar!” marks yet another stylistic 180 degree turn from their prior release, the […]
There are many ways to make a bad movie. This week, I’ve decided to give a spanking to two movies that are vastly different yet are equally painful viewing experiences. First, the newest movie of the two is “The Finest Hours,” which tells the story of the most daring small-boat rescue in the US Coast […]
Ever since “The Hunger Games” exploded at the box office in 2012, teen movies set in dystopias – the fancy word for messed-up future societies – have been flooding our cineplexes. There have been four “Hunger Games” movies, two in the “Divergent” series (with one to go), two “Scorch Trials” (also with a third on […]
January usually is the deadliest month of the year for new movies, as studios focus on raking in extra cash and awards for their prestige pictures from the previous year. But over the last few years, there have been a few surprise hits at the top of the year, such as “Taken” and a couple […]
With 2015 finally past us, it’s time to present my Top 10. Rather than picking the most pretentious movies possible like most critics, I try to pick the ten movies that I thought were the most entertaining and engrossing. 1. “The Walk.” Director Robert Zemeckis’ breathtaking depiction of Phillippe Petit’s death-defying high-wire walk between the […]
At some point, everyone dreams of getting rich. For most of us, it remains a dream throughout our lives, a desire that seems too intangible and even surreal to actually grasp, even as the media shows us people who achieve that goal every single day. There are as many paths to financial greatness or failure […]
Christmas movies are like a pile of presents under the tree: there’s hopefully something for everyone. This season is no exception, with an eclectic array of films for seemingly every taste, and then of course the “Star Wars” movie, which is making so much money one might think Congress made viewing it a requirement for […]
There’s something about Thanksgiving dinner’s familiarity that adds to the magic of its enjoyment. You know exactly what you’re getting – turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, some sort of greens and cranberries – but yet it’s pretty much the most popular meal of the year. The new film “Creed” is the cinematic equivalent of turkey and […]
It seems every holiday season brings with it at least a couple of new Christmas movies. They’re often ensemble affairs, with up to a dozen name actors handling small yet plum parts in a sweet confection that is guaranteed to be played in cable reruns and streamed on Netflix forever. This year’s double dose of […]
