Immaculate

Sydney Sweeney stars as a novice recruited to be a nun at at a remote convent in the Italian countryside where older nuns are taken care of in their final days. From the pre-credit sequence, involving a nun frantically attempting to flee the order only to be tracked down and buried alive, it’s obvious to the audience there’s something dark happening in the convent long before Sister Cecilia (Sweeney) arrives. Not long after arriving, Cecilia discovers she is pregnant, leading the nuns treat her as a new Virgin Mary… well, except for the one (Giulia Heathfield Di Renzi) who attempts to drown Cecilia out of jealousy.

Black Widow: Venomous #1

I’m a little confused at the timing of this series (I know we’re getting some kind of symbiote event so maybe that’s why it was held off) but it sure seems like a series diving into Natasha‘s relationship with her symbiote would have made more sense before the Black Widow & Hawkeye mini-series that isn’t even referenced here. Anyway, what we get here is a failed mission to open the issue which leads Natasha to go to school with Sliver (who is given a name for the first time) to work out the kinks of their relationship.

Find Me Falling

A half-step above your average Lifetime or Hallmark Movie, Find Me Falling stars Harry Connick Jr. as a aging musician hiding from the world, retreating to the place he was once happiest nearly two decades ago. Buying a house on a cliff in Cyprus known to locals as a good place to commit suicide, John isn’t looking for anything more than seclusion and anonymity both of which go by the wayside when locals discover his identity and he runs into the love of his life (Agni Scott) still living in the same town.
