Review of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 14 May 2014

Despite the number of villains and conspiracies at work in the screenplay, they actually aren't what makes this film overlong and wearying…

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 08 May 2014

A possible cult classic in the making. Its nice to see a movie, especially of the horror genre, where the ladies are the smart and strong characters…

Review of Stage Fright (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 08 May 2014

Starts out promisingly as Friday the 13th meets Glee, complete with musical numbers...(but) sadly becomes way too serious as well as excessively gory…

Those who watch (this film) expecting a supernatural element in keeping with (the director's) previous films will be disappointed, but the…

Review of Noah and the Last Days (2014)

Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 01 Apr 2014

A superior sequel. (The film) takes a welcome, lighter approach than its immediate predecessor and wisely puts the Muppets front and center again…

Review of Bad Words (2013)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 14 Mar 2014

A bit rough around the edges directorially/technically and the screenplay's crudeness is strained at times, but I enjoyed the story and performances…

Review of Tennessee Queer (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 14 Mar 2014

A somewhat dated and preachy but well-intentioned dramedy. That the film, shot in 2012, strikes me as dated at times is actually a very good thing…

Review of Southern Baptist Sissies (2013)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 08 Mar 2014

To call it stagey is an understatement, since it is simply a filmed version of a performance of (Del Shores') play…

Review of Pompeii (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 08 Mar 2014

An overly-familiar story directed with some style but no particular flair…

Review of The Lego Movie (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 22 Feb 2014

This endlessly inventive toy-inspired comedy is brilliantly designed and animated, even if it goes on a little too long and gets a bit treacly…

Review of The Pretty One (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 22 Feb 2014

Given its morbid, somewhat clichéd premise, I was pleasantly surprised by The Pretty One…

Review of Gerontophilia (2013)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 28 Jan 2014

Bruce LaBruce (working with co-writer Daniel Allen Cox) gets downright cuddly with this impressive, still outré romance…

Review of Ignasi M. (2014)

By Fr. Chris Carpenter (308) for Movie Dearest (271) on 28 Jan 2014

(The title subject) has a sharp intellect and quick wit, so Pons wisely sits back and lets him do most of the talking on a variety of topics…
