This film review is a guest contribution from Joseph Holmes. I’m always happy when movies try to tackle issues that are part of the cultural zeitgeist. Movies have a special power to take issues that feel abstract and make them real by making them about characters we care about. That’s one reason I was excited when I saw the trailer for the new film Friendship, which looked like it was directly tackling the much-discussed modern “male loneliness epidemic”.

Rated PG • Netflix Nonnas tells the true-life story of Joe Scaravella (Vince Vaughn), who, after the loss of his mother, risks everything to honor her by opening an Italian restaurant with a group of local grandmothers (nonnas) as the chefs. In the end, this dream helps Joe, the nonnas, and the town come together in ways they didn’t expect. The film hits most of the notes you’d want from a film like this. It’s sweet, it’s inspirational, it makes you cry, and it gives you warm fuzzies.

(REVIEW) Exorcism movies are everywhere these days, yet rarely are any memorable. Within the last few years alone we’ve gotten multiple entries from the “Conjuring” universe, “The Pope’s Exorcist,” “Exorcism: Believer,”, “The Exorcism” and “The Deliverance”. This year, we’re getting “Shadow of God,” “The Ritual” and “The Conjuring: Last Rites.”Most of these merely recycle exorcist cliches without doing anything terribly new or interesting.

People might disagree whether Jesus is King, but he certainly is ruling the box office this Easter season. For the past three weeks, there’s been a Jesus movie in the top 10 at the U.S. box office. Three weeks ago, “The Chosen: The Last Supper Part 1” was No. 3 on the list. Last week, “The Chosen: The Last Supper Part 2” also reached No. 3, and “Part 1” came in at No. 7.

I wonder how far this new branding is going to go. Will the DVD/Streaming show call it #TheNewAvengers? Will the trades and movie theaters change how they list it? I doubt it. But how confusing will it get? I'm most impressed by how well they kept the secret all this time.
Presenting Marvel Studios' #̶T̶h̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶b̶o̶l̶t̶s̶* #TheNewAvengers. Now playing only in theaters. Get tickets: https://t.co/bFq0RNeRhc https://t.co/ACemttyCx3
