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 June 28, 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:

"Hoosiers" (1987; Amazon Prime)

Dedicated but dictatorial coach (Gene Hackman) leads a small-town high school basketball team to the 1952 Indiana state championship while effecting some attitude adjustments in the community and rebuilding his self-esteem along the way. Director David Anspaugh's film recalls and celebrates a vanishing American rural ethic where integrity is everything and winning is the spice of life. Brief instances of mildly vulgar language and a courtside scuffle. The OSV News classification is A-I -- general patronage. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG -- parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.

"Rio" (2011; Hulu)

Buoyant animated adventure with music about a Brazilian-born macaw (voice of Jesse Eisenberg) raised as a cosseted pet in Minnesota. Informed by an eccentric Rio-based scientist (voice of Rodrigo Santoro) that her feathery friend is the last male of his species, his devoted owner (voice of Leslie Mann) reluctantly brings him back to his native land so that he can mate with his sole remaining female counterpart (voice of Anne Hathaway). But the potential lovebirds get caught up in the illegal avian trade. Lessons about environmental stewardship and love-inspired loyalty are decked out in kaleidoscopic colors and delivered in an overwhelmingly child-friendly tone in director Carlos Saldanha's flight of fancy. A few nursery-level bathroom references, a fleeting double entendre. The OSV News classification is A-I -- general patronage. The Motion Picture Association rating is G -- general audiences. All ages admitted. (The sequel "Rio 2" (2014) is also streaming.)

"Rocky" (1976; Netflix)

Underdog Philadelphia club fighter Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) has a shot at the heavyweight championship with the help of a tough old trainer (Burgess Meredith). Director John Avildsen concentrates on the gritty, backstreet quality of life in the old neighborhood and the relationship that grows between Rocky and the introverted sister (Talia Shire) of his best friend (Burt Young). The bloody brutality of the prizefight game is abundantly evident. The OSV News classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG -- parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. (All five eponymous sequels and "Rocky Balboa" (2006) are also streaming.)

Looking Ahead:

Sunday, June 28, noon-1:45 p.m. EDT (TCM) "Marty" (1955). Low-key tale of a 34-year-old butcher (Ernest Borgnine) who falls for a shy science teacher (Betsy Blair) despite the disapproval of his mother (Esther Minciotti) and his Bronx buddies. Written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Delbert Mann, the story of two lonely people who've come to think of themselves as losers only to discover they're not is told with sincerity and warmth, gaining much credibility from the realistic treatment of its urban ethnic setting. Excellent fare for teens. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. Not rated by the Motion Picture Association.

Sunday, June 28, 6-9 p.m. EDT (AMC) "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014). The big guy with the red, white and blue shield returns to save the planet in this rousing follow-up to 2011's "Captain America: The First Avenger," and 2012's "The Avengers." The director (Samuel L. Jackson) of an international crime-fighting bureau discovers the agency has been compromised from within by one of his fellow leaders (Robert Redford). He turns to Captain America (Chris Evans) and his sidekicks, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie), to unravel the conspiracy that threatens world peace and freedom. But first they must defeat the baddies, led by the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), whom Captain America seems to have met before. This popcorn movie, directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, is sure to please fans of the Marvel Comics superhero with its patriotic, gung-ho tone and grandiose action sequences (which may be too intense for younger viewers). Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who penned the first Captain America script, expand their horizons with a smart and timely story touching on national security, government surveillance and the price of freedom. Intense but largely bloodless violence, including gunplay. The OSV News classification of the theatrical version was A-II -- adults and adolescents. The Motion Picture Association rating was PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

Sunday, June 28, 7:32-11 p.m. EDT (ABC) "Armageddon" (1998). Bloated disaster flick in which Earth will be destroyed by a humongous asteroid hurtling through space unless a crew of oil drillers (led by Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck) land on it and position a nuclear warhead deep in its center to blow it off its deadly trajectory. Director Michael Bay turns in an overlong, testosterone-fueled tale pumped up with special effects, then doused in weepy emotions. Explosive mayhem, an implied affair, occasional profanity, an instance of rough language. 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.

Monday, June 29, 3:30-5:15 a.m. EDT (EWTN) "Solemnity of the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul." Live broadcast from St. Peter's Basilica in Rome as Pope Leo XIV celebrates Mass and blesses the pallia that will be given to new metropolitan archbishops. The events will re-air 11 a.m.-12:45 p.m. EDT (TV-G -- general audience).

Friday, July 3, 9-10:30 p.m. EDT (PBS) "Capitol Fourth: 250th Weekend Celebration." On the eve of the nation's semiquincentennial, this celebration at the Capitol in Washington features performances by the National Symphony Orchestra and country music star Trace Adkins.

Saturday, July 4, 3:19-5:31 p.m. EDT (Cinemax) "Shazam!" (2019). Endowed by a wizard (Djimon Hounsou) with the ability to transform himself, by dint of the titular exclamation, into a superhero with the body of an adult (Zachary Levi), a 14-year-old foster child (Asher Angel) does battle with a formidable villain (Mark Strong) who wants the lad to surrender his newfound powers to him. Though it eventually becomes almost exclusively an action picture, director David F. Sandberg's DC Comics-based origin story begins with an enjoyable overlay of comedy as the protagonist and his physically challenged best friend (Jack Dylan Grazer) marvel at his ability to shoot electricity from his hands and perform similar nifty stunts. Family life is exalted over egotistical self-reliance as Angel's character learns to use his gifts responsibly, and viewers of faith will appreciate brief scenes of prayer and an implicitly pro-life message about the dignity of the disabled. Some mischief enabled by the main character's grown-up guise, however, makes this questionable fare even for older teens. Much stylized violence with a few gruesome sights, underage drinking, brief sexual humor, some of it involving a strip club, at least one use of profanity and a milder oath, about a dozen 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.
