We turn back the clock and evaluate The Wild Robot—one of the best animated movies of the decade. And the film comes with some surprising spiritual themes.

The latest Toy Story movie came with a lot of buzz—both figuratively and (given the number of Lightyear dolls we see) literally.

Sugar, the name of Apple TV+’s film noir drama, might sound sweet. But this series starring Colin Farrell has an acrid bite.

‘The Capture’ makes for taut, compelling, ethically ambidextrous viewing, and it contains some problematic content as well.

‘Pressure’ takes us into a little-known wrinkle in perhaps history’s most documented war, and it does so with fewer content concerns than you’d expect.

Steven Spielberg’s spiritually tinged ‘Disclosure Day’ earns an estimated $44 million in North America to claim the weekend’s box-office crown.

‘Disclosure Day’ meets audiences at the intersection of faith and aliens, but it’s not the first film to do so. Here are five other sci-fi films that question faith.

Director Ryuya Suzuki’s ‘Jinsei’ is unexpected, poignant and flat-out strange. It’s also besotted with problems that get more intense as the film goes on.

A long-dead franchise rises from its cinematic grave to take first place at the box office.

‘Masters of the Universe’ was more fun than we expected. But the problems grow in tandem with those positives.

The latest remake of ‘Cape Fear’ is a TV show this time—and that provides so much more time to add the worst forms of problematic content.

When it comes to being suitable for families, Amazon Prime’s The Legend of Vox Machina failed its saving throw.

‘Backrooms’ speaks into our fear of the unknown, particularly the unknown things about ourselves. But God speaks into those fears, too, and offers a much more comforting resolution.

For all its epic pretensions, ‘Is God Is’ feels hollow and half-made; a revenge thriller painted with merely the trappings of classical heft.

As a horror flick, ‘Hokum’ works. But it won’t work for everyone. It’s a film that even adults should walk into with their eyes wide open.
