NEW YORK (OSV News) -- The following are capsule reviews of theatrical movies on network and cable television the week of March 19. Please note that televised versions may or may not be edited for language, nudity, violence, and sexual situations.

Tuesday, March 21, 5-8 p.m. EDT (TCM) "Tess" (1979). British screen version of the Thomas Hardy novel about the young Wessex woman (Nastassia Kinski) whose life is irrevocably changed when her father discovers that the family are the impoverished descendants of a noble line. Directed by Roman Polanski, it is an always beautiful, at times powerful, drama whose somber theme of a woman doomed by class and circumstance is not for younger viewers. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association rating was R -- restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

Wednesday, March 22, 9:15-11 a.m. EDT (TCM) "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima" (1952). When a young girl reports seeing an apparition of Mary in 1917 Portugal, she is harassed, then arrested by atheistic government officials but nothing can stop the crowds of faithful from coming to the site in expectation of a miracle. Directed by John Brahm, the religious story is treated with reverence yet is dramatically interesting with such characters as the good-hearted thief (Gilbert Roland) who helps her. Inspirational fare. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-I -- general patronage. Not rated by the Motion Picture Association.

Saturday, March 25, 11:45 a.m.-2:45 p.m. EDT (AMC) "Now You See Me 2" (2016). A trio of magicians and illusionists (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco) -- their performing ensemble, the "Four Horsemen," now rounded out by Lizzy Caplan in lieu of Isla Fisher -- returns to execute a complicated, worldwide sting involving a computer circuit that can de-encrypt any system into which it's plugged. The tricks performed by the quartet in this follow-up to the 2013 original are deconstructed in great detail, as if director Jon M. Chu and screenwriter Ed Solomon are anxious for the audience not to miss any of their cleverness or its meaning. Though this gives an otherwise compelling, intelligent sequel the slight cast of an old Scooby-Doo cartoon, there's no denying the brilliant choreography of the film's climactic set piece. Probably acceptable for older adolescents. Mild action violence, some profane and crude language, a vulgar gesture. 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.

Saturday, March 25, 8-10:22 p.m. EDT (Cinemax) "Warrior" (2011). Poignant, well-acted sports drama set in the bone-crunching milieu of mixed martial arts competition plumbs fraternal discord as two brothers (Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton), estranged from each other and from their alcoholic father (Nick Nolte), face off in a high-profile match. Director and screenwriter Gavin O'Connor uses a brutal sport to viscerally illustrate the transformative power of love and forgiveness. Although the fighting is not graphically depicted or glamorized, some may find certain sequences difficult to watch, and the film's tacit approval of violence as a means of dealing with conflict renders it suitable for selected viewers only. Intense boxing violence, some profanity, one rough term, much crude language, brief sexual innuendo, alcohol abuse. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. 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.
