Film & Music

Cabrini is a beautiful film, but lacks a Catholic core

March 7, 2024 Fr. Henry Graebe 61

Cabrini, the latest film from Angel Studios, stands out in the genre of Christian and religious films that are all too often plagued by low-budgets and cringe-worthy performances. The cinematography rivals any major studio production […]

Indiana Jones movies and Raiders of the Lost Ark: Why the original still stands alone

June 30, 2023 Steven D. Greydanus 20

I was 12 when Raiders of the Lost Ark opened in 1981, and it changed my relationship with movies. I was already an avid moviegoer; what’s more, between the first two films in the Star […]

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is an incomplete triumph

June 1, 2023 Steven D. Greydanus 75

“You’re like me.” That simple phrase, repeated a number of times in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is close to the film’s emotional center. Into the Spider-Verse is a layered movie brimming with ideas: It’s […]

A deep dive: The Little Mermaid then and now

May 26, 2023 Steven D. Greydanus 173

There’s something profoundly melancholy about Disney returning, in its present state of creative exhaustion and corporate decadence, to The Little Mermaid—the nucleus from which the entire Disney renaissance exploded, in a way along with everything […]

Emilio Estevez on the Camino drama—in theaters one day only—and the planned sequel

May 10, 2023 Steven D. Greydanus 20

The movie year 2011 was an extraordinary year in many respects, not least for notable religious themes on the big screen. Most memorably, the fact-based drama Of Gods and Men gave the world an indelible […]
