95th Oscars: Victories for hope and for life
Movie: ’65’
Feeling nostalgic for the Mesozoic Era? You won’t be after seeing the sci-fi adventure “65” (Sony).
Movie: ‘Scream VI’
The dreary horror flick “Scream VI” (Paramount) is the latest entry in a franchise that now looks desperate for ways to rejigger its formula of attractive young actors getting stabbed by its trademark masked killer, Ghostface.
Movie: ‘Champions’
Positive basic values, including an implicit pro-life message, underlie the somewhat rough-grained surface of the sports comedy “Champions” (Focus).
Movie – ‘Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre’
The light-hearted tone of the stylish comic spy yarn “Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre” (Lionsgate) suggests that it should be approached in an equally relaxed mood.

Refreshingly free of the usual objectionable ingredients, this generally appealing Evangelically-flavored look back at a somewhat surprising chapter in Baby Boomer history is doctrinally dodgy but ethically uplifting.
