NEW YORK (OSV News) – The following are capsule reviews of theatrical movies available now for streaming or scheduled for broadcast on network or cable television during the week of Feb. 9, as well as notes on TV programming for the same week. Televised films may or may not be edited for language, nudity, violence and sexual situations while the programs listed have not been reviewed and therefore are not necessarily recommended by OSV News.

Streaming Now:

"Insidious" (2011; Hulu)

This mash-up of a horror homage -- which borrows liberally from older films in the genre such as "Poltergeist" and "The Amityville Horror" -- has a young boy (Ty Simpkins) trapped in a hellish netherworld known as The Further, with his feckless father (Patrick Wilson) and a medium (Lin Shaye) out to rescue him. Director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell break no new ground, relying instead on garish zombies popping out of windows, closets and walls, a fog machine, and a cackling old lady or two. Still, the use of 1960s pop phenom Tiny Tim's falsetto warbling of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" does lend the proceedings a sort of geeky charm. Along the way, a Catholic priest (John Henry Binder) makes a brief appearance, but to no discernable purpose. Fleeting crude and profane language and intense, but nonviolent, scenes involving children. The OSV News classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. (The sequels "Insidious: Chapter 2" (2013) and "Insidious: Chapter 3" (2015) are also streaming, in both English and Spanish)

"Schindler's List" (1993; Netflix)

Sobering account of an opportunistic German businessman (Liam Neeson) who comes to occupied Poland to make his fortune by exploiting Jewish capital and labor but, after witnessing the increasing barbarism of Nazi racial policies and the sadistic perversions of the local concentration camp commandant (Ralph Fiennes), he risks his life by using his talents for manipulation to save the Jews in his employ. Director Steven Spielberg painstakingly restages the appalling history of the Holocaust on an epic scale that gives horrifying dimension to one man's attempt to save a few innocent lives. But the narrative provides little insight into the German's moral transformation or the individual lives of his slave laborers. Realistically graphic treatment of an infamous historical period and its crimes against humanity, a few discreet sexual scenes and occasional rough language. The OSV News classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association rating is R -- restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

"The Social Network" (2010; Amazon Prime)

Engrossing but strictly adult drama, based on real events, recounting the circumstances surrounding the creation of the website Facebook as its socially inept but technically gifted founder (Jesse Eisenberg) testifies in separate but simultaneous lawsuits brought against him by a pair of former associates (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) and by his ex-best friend and first investor (Andrew Garfield). All of them claim to have been betrayed and cheated. Drawing on Ben Mezrich's book "The Accidental Billionaires," director David Fincher weaves a subtle narrative of shifting personal loyalties and ethical uncertainties. But the college setting in which the story begins is a morass of excessive drinking and meaningless sex while, one enduring crush aside, the immature, ill-adjusted male characters treat women as disposable accessories. Nongraphic casual sexual activity, same-sex kissing, brief partial nudity, drug use, some sexual references, several uses of profanity, at least one use of the F-word and much crude language. The OSV News classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Looking Ahead:

Sunday, Feb. 9, 5-8 p.m. EST (TCM) "My Fair Lady" (1964). Screen version of the Lerner and Loewe musical based on George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion," in which an egotistical professor (Rex Harrison) makes a bet that he can transform the Cockney speech and manners of a London flower girl (Audrey Hepburn) well enough for her to pass for a lady at the upcoming Royal Ball. Predictably, it is not always the professor who gives the lessons. George Cukor's nimble direction, Cecil Beaton's stunning sets and costumes, the charming performances and the wonderful music add up to splendid family entertainment. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-I -- general patronage. The Motion Picture Association rating was G -- general patronage. All ages admitted.

Sunday, Feb. 9, 10-11 p.m. EST (EWTN) "Man and Woman in the Order of Creation." This special features two speakers from the conference of the title, held at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio, in October 2024: psychologist Greg Bottaro and counselor Hilary Towers. Part of the series "EWTN on Location" (TV-G -- general audience).

Tuesday, Feb. 11, 8-10 p.m. EST (TCM) "Jezebel" (1938). Pungent melodrama set in 1852 New Orleans where the willful antics of a headstrong belle (Bette Davis) cause the man she loves (Henry Fonda) to marry another, but she turns from revenge to risk her life nursing him when he is stricken during a yellow fever epidemic. Directed by William Wyler, the colorful period settings and vivid characters provide a sturdy frame for Davis' Oscar-winning performance as a vain, self-centered woman who learns the error of her ways and tries to make amends. Romantic complications, a tragic duel and the ravages of plague. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. Not rated by the Motion Picture Association.

Friday, Feb. 14, 9-10 p.m. EST (PBS) "Hopper: An American Love Story." This episode of the series "American Masters" profiles influential artist Edward Hopper (1882-1967).

Saturday, Feb. 15, 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. EST (AMC) "A League of Their Own" (1992). In a spirited, often amusing drama about the formation of a women's professional baseball league during World War II, the narrative follows the course of a season with a team whose odd assortment of players include sibling rivals (Geena Davis and Lori Petty), a backwoods slugger (Megan Cavanagh), streetwise fielders (Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell) and a washed-up rummy as manager (Tom Hanks). Directed by Penny Marshall, the story uses the baseball diamond as an arena of team solidarity and personal self-discovery rather than as an ideological soapbox, though its feminist perspective is abundantly evident. A few mild sexual references, some vulgar language and occasional tasteless humor, including a toilet joke. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association rating was PG -- parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.

Saturday, Feb. 15, 6:15-8 p.m. EST (HBO) "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971). Screen version of Roald Dahl's children's story about a candy manufacturer (Gene Wilder) who conducts an electrifying tour of his factory for five lucky children who learn that greed and selfishness can be their own reward. Even the punishments, occasionally a bit gruesome for younger children, are in good fun. Director Mel Stuart manages to avoid the cloying sentimentality of similar children's movies, though it's never quite as magical as one would have hoped. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-I -- general patronage. The Motion Picture Association rating was G -- general audiences. All ages admitted.

Saturday, Feb. 15, 9:23-11:02 p.m. EST (Cinemax) "Hercules" (2014). Dwayne Johnson plays the strongman of the title in director Brett Ratner's mildly demythologizing take on his legendary exploits. Based on Steve Moore's graphic novel "Hercules: The Thracian Wars," this passable adventure finds the hero -- who may or may not be a demigod -- leading a band of super-skilled mercenaries (Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Aksel Hennie, Ingrid Bolso Berdal and Reece Ritchie) around the political patchwork of ancient Greece. He and his followers get more than they bargained for, however, when, at the behest of a fetching princess (Rebecca Ferguson), they agree to help her father (John Hurt), the king of Thrace, rid his realm of a marauding rebel (Tobias Santelmann). The odd witticism and some on-target messages about believing in oneself and putting strength at the service of goodness are scattered through Ryan J. Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos' script. But the real agenda of Ratner's sweeping film is large-scale combat and plenty of it. Constant, mostly bloodless violence, some gory images, a glimpse of rear nudity, occasional sexual references, at least one use of the F-word, a handful of crude and crass terms. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association rating was PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.- - - John Mulderig is media reviewer for OSV News. Follow him on X (formerly Twitter) @JohnMulderig1.
