Movie 1: The Beast
This is a romantic drama thriller set in the near future, near past and we suppose the present. Whatever decade it is in, we found it totally confusing. Which is a shame because the young cast is usually very, very good and the main reason we went to see it. It is two and half hours long and after two hours we finally walked out (it took us that long to wake up from a very nice nap). We should be fair though and say most national critics found this art film very good. English and French, with English subtitles.

Movie 2: Challengers
This is a love triangle drama that seamlessly shifts time between the present and the past. While tennis is the main thread that binds them all together, there is a lot going on here. We found the acting, script and especially the cinematography really well done. While the two main male actors could probably have been better cast, Zendaya shines.

Movie 3: Alien 45th Anniversary Re-Release
This is one of the first horror sci-fi movies and after 45 years it still holds up pretty well. A space crew is returning to earth but find themselves with an unwanted creature on board. Some of the earliest work by a cast of very good actors and writer/director Ridley Scott. Periodically on TV over the years, it’s great to see it on the big screen. Currently in re-release worldwide.

Thanks for your excellent review of The Beast. Saved us having a nap at the movies.
