(2023)
|
Hosea Rupprecht
|
For the most part, The Miracle Club is light fare with the antics of the ladies providing a good dose of humor. It's too bad that these amazing actors didn't have a more substantial script to work with.

Sound of Freedom
(2022)
|
Hosea Rupprecht
|
Sound of Freedom plays like an action thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat at the same time as being a drama about Tim's first foray into rescuing trafficked kids. Caviezel's acting is spot on.

Padre Pio
(2022)
|
Hosea Rupprecht
|
If you go into this film thinking you're going to see a movie about the life of Saint Padre Pio, you will be roundly disappointed. Why director Abel Ferrara used the saint's name as the title of the film is just as confusing as the film itself.

The films presents a sweeping view of the of life of the oldest boxer to win a heavyweight title. Unfortunately, it tries to do too much and ends up bouncing through Foreman's life with too little depth.

Rosi has done us all a favor by compiling such [impressive footage] that not only reminds us of what it means to be a disciple of Christ and show love for our brothers and sisters, especially the suffering, but also shows us the heart of... Pope Francis.
