CABRINI: Nun Mother Cabrini is determined to found an orphanage in late 1800s among Italian immigrants in New York City, persisting in the face of Church indifference, violent xenophobia, and her own failing health. The director of "Sound of Freedom" wants to prove he can make a "serious" Oscar-caliber faith-based movie; this inspirational biopic, which is heartfelt but obvious, is the result. 3/5.

CABRINI:
The director of "Sound of Freedom" wants to prove he can make a "serious" Oscar-caliber faith-based movie; this inspirational biopic, which is heartfelt but obvious, is the result. 3/5.

Judging by this director's track record with subjects, we should expect imminent news reports about Mother Cabrini being revealed to be a child abusing con artist.

SASQUATCH SUNSET: A fictional nature documentary following a family of four Sasquatch trying to survive in the Pacific Northwest. Imaginative series of vignettes that doesn't shy away from grossout jokes involving bodily functions (there's a Sasquatch sex scene early on), but also a touching and surprisingly relatable portrait of a family on the brink of collapse. 3.5/5.

GODZILLA X KONG (2024) - Somehow this movie slid under my radar; I didn't even know it existed until I saw the poster for it earlier this week.  Well, tonight the wife and I went to see it with a couple of friends, and we had a BLAST!  Lots of city-smashing, historical structure stomping monster mayhem from Rome to Cairo to the Arctic Circle, great footage of the kaiju realm inside the Hollow Earth, and a great exposition of the relationship between the monstrous Titans on the earth's surface and the giant apes inside the earth.  A great watch all the way around!
