Movie 1: Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Spy, Assassin
This is a very good and insightful movie about the life of the celebrated German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. It’s a period drama that spans the Nazi Third Reich in Germany, from Hitler’s rise to power, him creating his own Bible, to wars end. Based on actual events and Bonhoffer’s own writings. In theatres now and soon on Amazon Prime.

Movie 2: Wicked
This is an absolutely dazzling movie. A prequel to the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, we meet all the witches and characters pre-Dorothy. Spectacular costumes, sets, cinematography. This is an emotionally rich blockbuster, to be seen more than once.
Rating: 
Movie 3: Gladiator II
This is the highly anticipated sequel to the 2000 Oscar winning Best Picture. It does not disappoint. The cinematography is stunning, especially the aerial scenes of ancient Rome. The story has more action and violence than the first Gladiator, as this film depicts Rome near its collapse as an empire. Denzel Washington is excellent as a bisexual slave trader. Sure to get numerous Oscar nominations.
Special Note: We are off on an adventure to Austria, Germany, Italy and Croatia. Movie reviews will resume first of the year. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and a peaceful and joyous Holiday Season.
