Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi
‘Return of the Jedi’ wraps up the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy with lots of flashy, lightsaber-swinging, blaster-firing, Sith-lightning fare.
Hoppers
Pixar’s ‘Hoppers’ encourages viewers to be better stewards of the planet. But the messages (and the comedy) fall a little flat.
He Calls Me Daughter
‘He Calls Me Daughter’ comforts girls and women hurt by their earthly dads, helping them to overcome their “father wound” and see the beauty of our heavenly Father.
Orangutan
Nature can be brutal—but it can be beautiful and funny, too. ‘Orangutan,’ playing on Disney+, serves as a nice reminder of the latter.
I Can Only Imagine 2
‘I Can Only Imagine 2’ is a well-crafted, uplifting film with powerful messages about gratitude and clinging to God, especially in the face of difficulties.

‘Solo Mio’ keeps its heart warm and its nose (mostly) clean. And it reminds us that disappointment can lead to unexpected joy.

‘The Carpenter’ crafts a unique story for an underserved demographic: people who love Jesus, MMA and heavy metal.
Little Amélie or the Character of Rain
Oscar-nominated ‘Little Amélie’ is beautifully animated and shares messages about loss and growing up. But it’s best navigated with mom and dad in the room.
