Two iconic baseball franchises, the Dodgers and the Yankees, are set to face off in the World Series for the first time since 1981, when a 20-year-old rookie phenom led the Dodgers to victory. The recent passing of baseball star Fernando Valenzuela has left fans mourning the loss of a Latino legend who represented the magic of baseball at its best. In the film world, the movie “Conclave” offers a thrilling papal potboiler that explores the ambitious and catty world of electing a new pope. With Ralph Fiennes leading an exceptional ensemble cast, the movie is sure to spark discussions and debates among viewers who enjoy elevated trashy films. Stanley Tucci’s juicy supporting role adds to the film’s appeal.
Meanwhile, director Steve McQueen brings a new perspective to WWII with his film “Blitz,” which follows a boy resisting evacuation during the German bombing of London. McQueen’s personal connection to the history of the Blitz adds a sense of urgency and authenticity to the film, which is part war movie, part Dickens, and part dance party. With its release in theaters and on Apple TV+, “Blitz” promises to be a captivating and emotional roller-coaster ride through wartime London. Fans of McQueen’s work can expect a powerful and gripping narrative that brings a historical event closer to home.
