The Colors Within (2024) 93% A+ “For the anime fan, it’s perhaps an unexpected foray into uncharted territory. For the music fan, it’s a compelling story of experimentation and determination. For everyone else, it’s just a darn good movie that tugs the heartstrings much like a guitar.” – Black Catholic Messenger Mar 21, 2025 Full Review I'm Still Here (2024) 97% 8.5/10 “At least a secondary message of the film [is] that hopelessness does not mean all hope is lost. Thus, insofar as a movie about torture and forced disappearance can be a feel-good story, “I’m Still Here” pulls off the impossible.” – Black Catholic Messenger Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 7/10 “It’s curious how little of the story is new, compared with the former film. Gladiator-slave in Rome, fighting to stay alive but also to prove a point: that Rome just ain’t what it used to be. ” – Black Catholic Messenger Jan 13, 2025 Full Review The Forge (2024) 63% 5.7/10 ““The Forge” is a Black-presenting Christian film from a group of very conservative White Christian creators about fatherlessness and respectability. I’ll just leave that there.” – Black Catholic Messenger Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Origin (2023) 81% D “One question repeated at various points in the film carries relevance here: How does this all fit together? Plot twist: it doesn't. ” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review American Symphony (2023) 94% A “It’s clear the film spared no expense in following Batiste during the year 2022, as he explored the contours of his musical inspiration while battling personal challenges in and out of the public eye.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 95% A+ “Hard to find much to critique in the new Sony film, given the clear attention to detail given to nearly every aspect of the film. It is literally dripping with artistic fervor, combined with an all-star cast that is still somehow subtle and not overdone.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Take Me to the River: New Orleans (2022) 90% A “Though one could be fooled by its marketing into thinking the movie is a history doc, the film is moreso a behind-the-scenes look at a series of studio performances from the assembled artists, with historical vignettes on New Orleans interspersed.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Chevalier (2022) 76% C “Feels much like the “tragic mulatto” tale of old, a stereotypical rendering of a biracial Black who struggles to fit in as a minority and—due to prevailing prejudices—cannot achieve social status among Whites either.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody (2022) 43% 7/10 “Ever so tidy, tying up loose ends that many Houston fans and onlookers likely wondered about in her final years and beyond. The resolutions did not always feel genuine, however, and at times seemed quite rushed.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review One Night in Miami (2020) 98% B- “A relatively weak performance from lead Eli Goree as Ali threatened to derail the film at times (including the beginning), but was largely buoyed by the above standouts and the steadying—if not thematically stifling—dialogue from Aldis Hodge's Jim Brown.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review Kidnapped: The Abduction of Edgardo Mortara (2023) 86% C “Even the victims of religious prejudice are apparently not immune to its viral effects. Perhaps there is a lesson for the Church today in the film’s message, ham-fisted though it may be.” – Black Catholic Messenger Aug 10, 2024 Full Review
