Everything seems happy until she is diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer and given several options for treatment, none of which, unfortunately, guaranteeing a positive outcome.

Venom: The Last Dance

♣♣♣/♣♣♣♣♣

Knull (Andy Serkis) the creator of symbiotes has been imprisoned in his own lair by the very creatures he spawned. Hell bent on revenge, he vows to slice worlds after killing his children, but first he has to break free. In order to escape, he needs the power of a codex which will serve as the key out of his prison. A codex is formed when a symbiote’s host dies and it fully bonds with him or her for revival. To date, only one symbiote/host tandem has achieved such a feat. Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is still on the run as a fugitive after his bloodbath against Carnage. Seeking refuge in Mexico, he gets the idea of sneaking into New York, where he knows a judge that he could blackmail so he can have his life back. As Venom takes over from time to time, Knull’s henchmen find it easier to locate him.

Anora

♣♣♣♣/♣♣♣♣♣

Third generation immigrant Anora Mikheeva (Mikey Madison) resides in Brighton Bridge and relies on sex work to get by. She is popular at the club where she works, with a steady stream of clients that guarantee a stable income. Being the only girl who can speak Russian, she is assigned one night to Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn), the spoiled brat son of a Russian oligarch who is in America to study, even though he spends most of his time and daddy’s money on drugs and sex. The two form a professional relationship where she is invited to his mansion to be a fixture at his parties, reserving late nights for a few rounds of sex. And then he proposes something that strikes her as life-changing: Marriage. Drunk and high, the couple flies to Vegas with friends and gets married there. And they lived happily ever after… NOT. When the parents find out, they fly in from Russia for damage control, and this is where the fun begins.
