    Alien: Covenant / Spiderman: Homecoming / It Comes at Night / The Big Sick

    At Cinema Faith, we wish we could provide feature-length reviews for every movie that hits theaters. Unfortunately, some films fall through the cracks. Welcome to another edition of Mini-Review Roundup where we present smaller reviews of several movies at once. This month we review Alien: Covenant, Spiderman: Homecoming, It Comes at Night, and The Big…

  • Wonder Woman

    Wonder Woman

    I should start this piece by admitting something: I’m firmly entrenched as a Marvel Cinematic Universe fan. I loved watching the Spiderman and X-Men movies as a young teenager, and I’ve enjoyed seeing the rise of Marvel as a movie powerhouse. There aren’t too many smart and fun blockbusters out there, and the MCU has…

  • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

    No one makes superhero movies like Marvel Studios. They’ve earned their big-screen domination with quality films, and Guardians of the Galaxy is at the top of the list. Released in 2014 after three Iron Mans, two Thors, two Captain Americas, and an Avengers team-up, Guardians was the breath of fresh air Marvel needed. The movie…

  • Logan

    Logan

    When the 10th film in which Hugh Jackman portrays the Wolverine opens, we find a washed up version of the super mutant asleep in the back of a vehicle we presume he drives as part of his chauffeuring gig he has undertaken as he assumes a new life under the radar. Logan crosses back and…

  • Doctor Strange

    Doctor Strange

    The success of superhero movies is starting to feel a bit tiring, to be quite honest. Yes, it’s hard to deny the simple joy of a well-done Marvel or DC film: they’re a combination of light-hearted fun, breakneck pace, and elevated reality. And in a way, that’s why we go to the movies in the…

  • Suicide Squad

    Suicide Squad

    Critics have not taken kindly to the DC Cinematic Universe. At three films in, the Rotten Tomatoes scores are as follows: 55% for Man of Steel, 27% for Batman v Superman, and 26% for Suicide Squad. By comparison, the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score of the 13 films released in the Marvel Universe since 2008 is…

  • Captain America: Civil War

    Captain America: Civil War

    Marvel’s at it again. This spring’s big hit is an adaption of the multiverse sensation Civil War for the newest Captain America movie. I remember 10 years ago spending hours in our local library reading this amazing story from as many points of view as they had, feeling the tension, fractures, sabotages, and trying to…

  • Ant-Man / Bridge of Spies

    Ant-Man / Bridge of Spies

    Ant-Man doesn’t deserve some of its problems. A few – like “why was this made at all?” – might never be clearly resolved. That problem is wrapped firmly in the claws of another problem: the very public divorce between the film’s original writer – who was also going to direct the project – and Marvel…

  • The Marvel Universe 2: Violent Heroes

    The Marvel Universe 2: Violent Heroes

    In the spirit of summer movies, this month we present a sequel to last month’s podcast. Listen in as we discusses violence in Marvel movies and whether it’s justified from a Biblical perspective.
