Movie 1: Conclave
When the Pope suddenly dies, 108 Catholic Cardinals come to Rome to elect a new Pontiff. Everything about this mystery thriller is electric and entertaining. The acting, cinematography, writing and directing are all superb. The ending is completely unforeseen. We’ve seen this movie twice and will see it again. The best movie of the year!

Movie 2: Venom: The Last Dance
The last movie (supposedly) in the Venom trilogy does not disappoint. Once again Tom Hardy returns as Eddie and his action/comedy persona is very well done and a lot of fun. To be fair, many critics and audiences did not like this movie. While it can be inconsistent, and no great message, we found it very entertaining.

Movie 3: Anora
While listed as a comedy, this movie has a lot more to it than just laughs. A Russian strip club dancer in Brooklyn falls in love with the son of a Russian oligarch, much to the dismay of his parents. She becomes the young son’s American fantasy. This film won the prestigious Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Sure to get several Oscar nominations. English and some Russian, with English subtitles.
