Moana — PG (A-II)

Why be satisfied with an animated success when a live-action re-working of the same tale might also be a hit at the box office? That's a question that seems to be on the minds of the folks at the Mouse House these days, and so, after several other examples in recent years, we get the musical adventure "Moana" (Disney).
Entertainment

Minions & Monsters — PG (A-I)

Set primarily in the Hollywood of the 1920s, the delightful animated comedy "Minions & Monsters" (Universal) is at once director and co-writer Pierre Coffin's paean to and satire of early Tinseltown.
Entertainment

Supergirl — PG-13 (A-lll)

At what is meant to be a poignant moment in the DC Comics adaptation "Supergirl" (Warner Bros.), the title character, played by Milly Alcock, is told by her mother (Emily Beecham) that she doesn't have to be nice but she must be good. The recipient of this advice takes it to heart in a way that lends the whole film an unpleasant tone.
Entertainment

Toy Story 5 — PG (A-I)

A deservedly much-loved animated series gets a touching extension with the arrival of "Toy Story 5" (Disney). The franchise's hallmark combination of sunny humor and emotional intelligence continues to make for outstanding entertainment, this time under the direction of co-writer Andrew Stanton.
Entertainment

Disclosure Day — PG-13 (A-lll)

The truth is out there, and director Steven Spielberg ultimately intends to tell you all about it with his grandiose, vaguely paranoid fantasy "Disclosure Day" (Universal).
Entertainment

Masters of the Universe — PG-13 (A-lll)

Given that the franchise it extends dates back to the 1982 release of a Mattel line of action toys and that its protagonist's moniker, when in superhero mode, is He-Man, sensible viewers will not approach the adventure "Masters of the Universe" (Amazon MGM) expecting brilliant insights into the human condition.
Entertainment

Sacred Heart: His Reign Has No End — NR (A-II)

As America's Catholic bishops prepare to mark the semiquincentennial by consecrating the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a French docudrama that can aid viewers in understanding the full significance of such an action makes its timely appearance.
Entertainment

The Breadwinner — PG (A-II)

Nate Bargatze, best known for his stand-up work, co-wrote and stars in the domestic comedy "The Breadwinner" (Sony). Although mostly wholesome, the film is also, unfortunately, sorely lacking in laughs.
Entertainment

Backrooms — R (L)

"Backrooms" (A24) is that rarity among contemporary horror films, an intelligent and unsettling psychological study that doesn't substitute wallowing in blood for the work of evoking real chills. While the movie is mostly free of graphic imagery, however, it does include some briefly intense mayhem.
Entertainment

Pressure — PG-13 (A-lll)

For British meteorologist James Stagg (Andrew Scott), the central figure in the fact-based World War II drama "Pressure" (Focus), the "longest day" was probably not the eventual date of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Instead it was likely the day he had to advise that the greatest amphibious landing of troops in history be postponed.
Entertainment

The Mandalorian and Grogu — PG-13 (A-ll)

It's one battle after another for the title characters in the latest installment of the "Star Wars" saga, "The Mandalorian and Grogu" (Disney). But the combat is nongraphic and the film is free of anything off-color. As a result, this high-quality escapist adventure can be enjoyed by a broad spectrum of age groups.
Entertainment

Obsession — R (O)

"More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones," the 16th-century mystic St. Teresa of Avila is famously said to have observed. To judge by the horror film "Obsession" (Focus), something similar -- but far more drastic -- might be said about fulfilled wishes.
