"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein" (Happy Birthday Helena Bonham Carter!)
On her 52nd birthday, I would like to pay tribute to an amazing actress of stage and screen, Helena Bonham Carter. An actress not often lumped into the great actresses of her generation, at least not the conversations I hear from critics. But absolutely deserving. She does this great balancing act of eccentricity and classical in her performances. And what I appreciate in EVERY actor and actress is her willingness to never 'phone it in.' Whatever type of performance she brings to the screen I know she will always give a good performance. I definitely appreciate that from performers.
So may I recommend "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein." Not the best adaptation of the legendary Mary Shelley novel (but to be fair, there are some GREAT adaptations of the book. Some legendary) but an interesting version nonetheless. Many didn't see Robert DeNiro as The Monster, but his performance was quite good. And what can I say about the brilliant Kenneth Branagh? Check it out for yourself if you're a fan of the immortal classic...

Intentional Parallels? ("Conclave" Movie Review)
"Conclave" is a mystery thriller based on the 2016 Robert Harris book of the same name. Starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci, and Isabella Rossellini, the film focuses on the most powerful group of the Catholic Church cardinals as they mourn their recently deceased pope and prepare to vote for a new one. As they continue to vote and debate the merits of the nominees, many twists and turns present bumps in the road. And that last twist...well, it's a doozy. Being a registered independent, this film firmly leans in the progressive side of things, though corruption seeps into all sides. It is a fight for those in the middle to choose which way the church will continue into the future. Whether it should go back to reading Latin and become so conservative that they choose not to accept other religions or liberal points of view, or whether to continue to go in a more progressive way and deal with the world as it changes. As I watched this film I couldn't help...
