Note de strangenstein
The Last Rodeo is the kind of movie you've probably seen many times before, but it hits almost all the right notes and succeeds in providing a good story with emotion. There are three big things The Last Rodeo has going for it:
1 Neal McDonough. He's immensely likable and although his character is a man of few words, what he does say is important.
2) Faith-based movies often "shoehorn" in the gospel message, but The Last Rodeo incorporates faith in an organic manner. It's part of the story and feels natural. It also helps propel the story into a more emotional state without being cloying.
3) The rodeo scenes are well done and actually build suspense. With each ride the stakes are raised, and to the movie's credit it doesn't tip its hand. We never know who's going to win - and who may not survive.
The Last Rodeo is a well made movie with a positive message. There are a lot worse ways to spend a couple hours.

Some movies just don't know how (or when) to end, and Conclave is a perfect example. Leading up to the ridiculous "twist" ending we get a great movie, filled with fine performances, a minimalist but effective score, and loads of quiet intrigue.
Kudos to the Casting Director of Conclave. Every actor/actress is perfect for their role, giving quiet and nuanced performances that add to the (almost) cloak and dagger feel. Conclave isn't exactly suspenseful, but it does grab your attention with a script that gives us just enough information to hook us. Not every issue raised is answered in black and white, and its those gray areas that really make the movie.
As I stated in my title, I'm taking a couple stars from my rating for the final 'twist'. It smacks of agenda, and comes so far out of left field that it feels shoehorned in. I suppose it fits with the light anti-Catholic vibe running throughout the movie, but it's wholly unnecessary. Conclave is a solid movie as is.
