REVIEW: Conclave 2024 Theflixtor

The Catholic Church is full of mysteries, from the virgin birth to transubstantiation, but few witness the mysteries it can solve. Conclave 2024 Theflixtor is a thriller about a fictional papal election that reveals more about the ambitions of the "papabili" than about dogma.

Conclave-2024-Theflixtor


The Papacy, inhabited by cardinals, is a strange place where ambition is as rampant as vice, jealousy, prejudice and lies. Dean Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) has very little ambition (see Plato's aphorism above). As a result, rumors of ambition reach him, and by extension us. At times the plot seems straight out of the current presidential election, but as November approaches, we hear even more rumors and outright malice.

A dignified man with a self-imposed sense of remorse, Lawrence explains why his own doubts are the hallmark of the new wisdom: "We need no faith, indeed," he preaches. "Let us elect a pope who doubts. For Lawrence, a candidate for the papacy who has only certainty would set the institution back, failing to keep it fresh and contemporary."

Director Edgar Berger guides us with a steady hand through the intimate relationships kept secret from the crowds as they wait for the announcement of the new pope in a smoking Vatican. Such secrecy is good for a good thriller, and the secrecy is like honey to the audience, who can claim to know everything.

In addition to plot twists and speculation, we observe a human drama that is not a book prize contender or a best of contender. But the nuns are reliable, especially Sister Agnes (Isabella Rossellini), who watches over and intervenes only when necessary.

After one or two revelations, things calm down and the status quo. It's just a good thriller, with the College of Cardinals providing some fascinating bad guys.

Not all popes were entirely holy. Think of Pope John Paul II, who covered up a sexual abuse scandal, or Pope Benedict XVI, who was a Hitler Youth. Or read Dan Brown's The Illuminati, but in this explicitly fictitious council, the cardinals end up choosing a man who will "sin and ask for forgiveness" -- a platonic choice that lacks ambition and a certain amount of doubt.

The Penguin’ Finale Episode 8 Recap: Did Oz Kill Sofia?

Image
 In episode 7 of Penguins, we learn in a flashback the reason for Jack and Benny Cobb's death. Apparently, Oz was jealous of his mother Frances having to divide her attention between his job, his brother and him, and he wanted her all to himself. When Jack and Benny mocked Oz's disability, intentionally or not, while playing hide-and-seek in the sewers, Oz locked them both in an overflow tunnel and left them in the rainwater. Both Francis and Oz knew the truth, but never spoke about it. When Sofia found out the lie on which Francis and Oz's relationship was built, she decided to use it to really destroy him from the inside. Salvatore Maroni kidnapped Oz and tried to seize control of Bliss' business, but failed miserably and died of cardiac arrest.

THE MERRY GENTLEMEN – FILM REVIEW

Image
The story tells of Ashley, a Broadway dancer in a slump in her career. When she returns to her quaint hometown for the holidays, she discovers that her parents' theater will soon close. To save it, Ashley organizes an all-male Christmas revue, hoping to raise enough funds to keep the lights on. Along the way, she meets Luke, a carpenter and a reluctant participant in the show, whose unassuming demeanor hides problems of his own. You can watch this movie on M yflixer movies .  At first glance, the premise seems promising. The small-town charm and unique setting of a male revue against the backdrop of Christmas festivities could have been a recipe for offbeat fun. But Merry Gentlemen lacks focus and doesn't effectively balance its comedic and romantic elements. The revue itself becomes a subplot, undermining the very premise that should have driven the story. Britt Robertson, known for her charisma in projects like Tomorrowland, struggles to give Ashley the energy and drive she n...

Image
Don’t Move movie Review Don't Move is a thriller directed by Brian Netto and Adam Schindler and starring T.J. Schinfel (V/H/S Viral) and David White. Iris (Kelsey Asbille) wakes up at the beginning of the film, ready to die. After overcoming her grief, Iris plans to climb to the top of a mountain and take a different route back down. But as she stands on the cliff, overwhelmed by her loss, she meets seemingly kindred spirit Richard (Finn Wittrock, The Luckiest Girl Alive), whose words convince her to take the long way. But when she descends downstairs, she discovers that Richard is a serial killer who has planned an even worse fate for her. For many people, nothing is more terrifying than being powerless. The thin layer of control we have over our lives is completely stripped away, leaving us at the mercy of other people's whims. Being tied up and blindfolded is enough to send shivers down many people's spines. But what if it goes further? What if you can't move at all?...
