"The Young Messiah": Compassionate Drama Imagines Jesus' Early Life

There are scant stories about Jesus' youth and upbringing, which leads one to wonder what Jesus was like as a young boy and if his future greatness was foreshadowed during those youthful days.

Based on the novel by Anne Rice, the new film The Young Messiah attempts to explore that idea.

Disney's "Zootopia" Delivers a Roaring Good Time

Beneath its sunny exterior, Zootopia is a thoughtful film about the dangers of prejudice and its far-reaching effects on our community. Though a little heavy-handed at times, the film's animated charm never gets lost in the message

"Eddie the Eagle" Soars Thanks to a Winning Performance

A true underdog story of hope and perseverance in the face of insurmountable odds. Those unfamiliar with the Winter Olympics may find a few baffling moments in Eddie the Eagle, but they're not enough to derail this delightful sports dramedy.

"Gods of Egypt" Can't Even Ascend to Guilty Pleasure Status

A bizarre excursion into big-budget moviemaking gone completely off the rails, Gods of Egypt is a bungled, boring, monotonous amalgam of 300 and Lord of the Rings that implodes into a "What were they thinking?!" train wreck

"Risen" Brings New Life to Christian Movies

This tale of faith and redemption marks a new chapter for Christian films. While not perfect, Risen still delivers one of the best portrayals of Christ's death and resurrection to date, as we witness the events from the eyes of a pagan outsider.

This "Race" Finishes with Substance & Heart

The athletic achievements of Olympic legend Jesse Owens are nothing short of remarkable, but Race is so much more than your average sports movie or celebrity biopic. It's a very human story about social marginalization that, sadly, still resonates.

Celebrity-Filled Zoolander 2 Models Questionable Humor

A fun bit of fluff that skewers pop culture and the fashion industry in a celebrity-studded romp, Zoolander 2 is gloriously silly, but probably not the best choice for the easily offended. 3 out of 5.

Providence Has Its Heart in the Right Place, but Not Much Else

Providence is best described as a faith-based romance in the Nicholas Sparks vein, a just-in-time-for-Valentine's film for Christians. But a plodding narrative, dull characters and an absence of dialogue don't leave much for us to fall in love with. 1 out of 5.

"Hail, Caesar!" is a Goofy Valentine to Hollywood's Golden Age

In what's easily one of the Coen Brothers' zaniest movies about Hollywood's inner workings since Barton Fink, the audience is transported back to the 1950s where one very busy man tries to keep one hectic movie studio's biggest stars out of trouble.

The Choice: Predestined for Predictability

The Choice may have emotional stakes but delivers neither star power nor screenwriting prowess. It's a Hallmark movie with better production values

"Kung Fu Panda's" Third Chapter Still Has Plenty of Kick

While no one would mistake it for a Pixar level of greatness in terms of creativity or high-brow storytelling prowess, the Kung Fu Panda trilogy has been a consistently fun and family-friendly cinematic diversion for eight years now

"The Finest Hours" Feels Waterlogged

Though based on a real incident, the story and characters in The Finest Hours are overly familiar at best, clichés or cardboard cutouts at worst. The visuals aren't much better.

"Norm of the North" is Hard to Bear

Nothing that Norm of the North does to get laughs feels original. It's all been done before, and better, in superior films from the same genre

"The 5th Wave" Crashes and Burns into Dystopian Oblivion

After The Hunger Games franchise (which only got worse as the sequels kept coming), Divergent and its lackluster follow-up, The Giver, the two Maze Runner films, Ender’s Game and a slew of others, it's clear that it takes far more than a plucky youngster wrestling with the apocalypse to make a compelling movie

"Joy": Lawrence is So Good, She Can Make a Movie about a Mop Sparkle

It's a tribute to Lawrence's talent that a story about a mop works so well. Not only does Lawrence hold her own—and shine—with a character she's a decade too young to play, she's still engaging enough, all by herself, to keep you invested.

"Concussion" Tells a Hard Truth; The NFL Blocks It

With both a powerful performance by Will Smith and an equally powerful condemnation of the practices of the NFL, Concussion brings this controversy to the open public.

Sunny "Yellow Day" Surprises as Faith-Based Art

On the surface,Yellow Day promises to deliver on every Christian movie cliché you can imagine. Instead, the film draws its audience into a rich narrative where common lessons from the Bible are reframed in a new and compelling background.
