The film is engaging and technically superb, but Christian parents may have concerns about its “follow your heart” theme.

Movie review: ‘Aladdin’
“Aladdin” is one of the better recent Disney live-action remakes, but it is still silver next to gold when compared to the 1992 animated film.

Movie review: ‘Avengers: Endgame’
With its themes of sacrifice and failure, “Avengers: Endgame” offers much for Christian viewers to think about.

Movie review: ‘Dumbo’
Disney’s remake of “Dumbo” presents a positive view of family but is hindered by Hollywood’s ardent devotion to political correctness.

Movie review: ‘Unplanned’
“Unplanned” tells the true story of Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director who becomes pro-life after witnessing an ultrasound-guided abortion.

Movie review: ‘Glass’
“Glass” is well made and well acted, but Christian viewers should be careful not to buy into its thesis that truth is found in self-actualization.

Movie review: ‘Aquaman’
With “Aquaman,” director James Wan avoids the dreary look of previous DC films, providing a bright, vibrant color palette and a deliberately lighthearted and goofy tone reminiscent of 1980s Saturday-morning cartoons.

Movie review: ‘Creed II’
Both “Creed II” and its precursor, “Creed” (2015), build on the Rocky film franchise by elevating a secondary character’s family while including Rocky Balboa in a supporting role.

Movie review: ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” the second Harry Potter prequel in the Fantastic Beasts series, attempts but ultimately fails to conjure the magic of the original Harry Potter series.

Movie review: ‘Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer’
“Gosnell” tells a tale of power misused and abuse covered up, of women mistreated and children done unspeakable harm.

Movie review: ‘God Bless the Broken Road’
The potential for an honest, engaging Christian film about grief and suffering is buried like a seed in the new release from director Harold Cronk but is never given what it needs to germinate and grow.

Movie review: ‘Crazy Rich Asians’
The all-Asian cast and critical acclaim of the new film “Crazy Rich Asians” may remind viewers of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000), but as a romantic comedy about a wedding filmed almost entirely in English, “Crazy Rich Asians” is probably more accessible to a North American audience.

Movie review: ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’
“Ant-Man and the Wasp” delivers audiences an eye-popping film experience while affirming marriage and family without resorting to clichés.

Movie review: ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’
The new Jurassic film is a Grade-A summer blockbuster with its special effects, but its shallow storyline makes it a B-movie “creature feature.”

Movie review: ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’
The latest entry in the Star Wars universe works best if the audience avoids thinking too much and simply enjoys it for what it is: a straightforward, double-crossing heist film that introduces some beloved characters in a safe and appealing way.

Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, “Avengers: Infinity War” is a gift to MARVEL fans, honoring previous films in the franchise while bringing its own contributions to the saga.
