	Liverpool Legends returns to Adler in November Liverpool Legends is making its annual trip to the Quad Cities, playing the Adler Theatre in Davenport on Saturday, November 29, starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available by clicking here. Marty Scott, who portrays George Harrison in Liverpool Legends, spoke with Our Quad Cities News about why the band is different from other tribute bands.“We do, you know, a tribute to The Beatles, and the show was put together with myself and George Harrison's sister, Louise, who I had met right after George had passed away. We became really close, and we wanted to put a show together. The show is narrated by Louise. It's sort of like a history of The Beatles." "We go through all the important aspects of their career, starting with the Ed Sullivan Show, obviously, and we go backwards from there into documentary style, to the Cavern Club, where they were almost like a cover band back then. It was pretty important part of their building their careers. So we go back, and then we go forward into Shea Stadium, which was the first iconic stadium concert for any group ever, and we think that's pretty important. Then we go through the psychedelic era of Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour. We go year by year and album by album and we end up in Abbey Road and Let It Be and that type of stuff. At the end, we even do some solo stuff, because we think that there's some songs that they wrote right after they broke up that were pretty important to the world as well. It's kind of like a history of The Beatles. Everything's live and the unique thing is that it’s narrated by George's sister.” Scott explained how Louise, who died in 2023, is still a part of the show. “We have all these video segments, so it's all intertwined in the show. We're changing costumes and looks and instruments and while all that's going on, there's these segments of George, personal segments from George's sister. So it's really cool. There's a little personal touch on it on a Beatles show, and because she's involved, there’s a little George lean sometimes, which is great for me, because I'm sort of a ham. I don't always have to be the quiet one, like he supposedly was.”Scott said the fans who go to the shows are of all ages, even people who weren’t born when John died in 1980 or when George died in 2001. “The Beatles are such a unique phenomenon in that they've always transferred down to every generation, which is, I know, really strange. You're not supposed to like your grandparents music or your great-grandparents music, even at this point.” “We have eight-year-olds, and we have 18-year-olds and 28-year-olds and 88-year-olds, and they're all singing and dancing, and they know every word. It's interesting, it used to be when there was a real young kid in the audience, I would always think like, ‘oh, they must have really cool parents that are exposing them to this music.’ Doesn't really work like that. A lot of times these days, it's the eight-year-old who's the big Beatles fan and they're dragging their parents to the show because that's what they want. They discover it somehow, and they latch on to it. For some crazy reason, it's still relevant in high schools. It's still relevant in college. So, it's a really fun show to be in because it's about as family show as family could be.” Scott says there’s a reason the band evolved into what might be called “influencers” today. “The Beatles were just better than everybody. They wrote better songs. They were cooler. They looked cooler. Each one of them had this personality, everybody knew them. The Beatles led the pack of everything. They were leading the pack of fashion and politics and hairstyles and music. They were the first to do a lot of things, and people just followed their lead a lot. It was just a unique thing and they were just that good and that cool that it transcended everything back in those days, and still today.” “I mean, they're more popular now than they even were then. You know, you can discover the Beatles pretty easily. Say you're a musician or you're a songwriter, you know, with things like YouTube and the Beatles are sort of in your face no matter which way you look. If you're growing up playing guitar or writing songs, you're going to discover them. It's a pretty magical thing, it's kind of like, wow, they wrote that song. They also wrote that song, and they wrote that song. And there's different voices, because John was his lead singer, and Paul is a lead singer, and George was leading and Ringo. They all encompass so much in so many different styles of music.” He says many musicians, past and present, wouldn’t have gotten into music without the Beatles’ influence. “Every musician in the world these days is somehow influenced by the Beatles, and some more than others. But really, the world wouldn't be where it is music-wise without those guys.” Even rock legends like the late Ozzy Osborne were influenced. “There's a great video of him where he met Paul. And I don't think he had ever met Paul before and he was like a little kid freaking out that he's meeting Paul because, admittedly so, he got into music because of the Beatles, like millions of other people. Ringo started so many drummers’ careers because they saw him on The Ed Sullivan Show and were like, ‘now there's a good job to have,’ kind of like the Beatles did with Elvis a little bit. The Beatles saw Elvis, and that kind of started them in a direction and then they took that went into other directions, and then just started influencing worldwide.”“There's a lot of Beatles shows out there, and ours is pretty unique, with George's sister involved in it,” he said. “But we've done a lot of cool things. We got nominated for a Grammy for a project that we did, we've headlined like Carnegie Hall and the Rose Bowl. We've done a lot of big shows. So it's not just your local Beatles show that's coming through town. Liverpool Legends is a big show, and we've been doing it a long time, and we’ve won lots of awards.” Scott says the band enjoys returning to the Quad Cities during the holidays. “This is our third year in a row (of coming to the Quad Cities near Thanksgiving). We keep coming in this weekend, because it's Thanksgiving weekend, all the families are home and it's worked so well because it's something that the whole family could like. What other show can the 10-year-old agree with his grandparents on, ‘hey, let's go see Liverpool legends.’ We love all those songs, so it's a perfect weekend for us to be in Iowa.”

	Workers rally against CNH Burlington closure Unions around the Midwest came together to support their fellow workers at Case New Holland (CNH) in Burlington Friday night at a rally. After nearly a hundred years in the community, CNH announced the closure at that location. Generations of Burlington families made their livings there. (Gavin Waidelich, OurQuadCities.com) "It's where you spent long hours, made close friends, learned new skills and built a life for you and your families," said Burlington Mayor Jon Billups. "Someone is trying to take that away." In 2023, the local International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) chapter went on strike for 271 days. Now, they are once again ready to fight the company on the decision. CNH management plans to have the plant closed in 2026. Many workers are concerned for their futures. "I'm all in," said Tracy Chew, who has worked for CNH for 13 years. "When I signed up to work at Case, I thought like everyone else did. It was almost one of those jobs you had to be grandfathered in, it was an honor to work at Case. Like you had to wait in line to work at there. When I finally got in, I thought it'd be the last job I ever had, but here I am, mid-fifties and I have no clue what to do." 200 people will lose their jobs. It's expected to have a ripple effect on the area. "It doesn't just affect Burlington, it affects the entire community," said Shawn Fain, UAW President. "I mean, this community invested in this company. They gave tax breaks to this company. You know they've given millions in tax abatements, in tax incentives to help them invest here. This is not the payback they should get." Union representatives are going to Washington D.C. next week to talk with the Trump administration about the closure.

	Riverdale volleyball: Passion, family and ejections It was all knotted up in the winner-take-all set three between the Riverdale Rams and the Notre Dame Irish, 23-23. Rams assistant coach Ellie Mitton left her spot behind the Rams' bench to find her mom, Amy Mitton, the Rams' head coach who was nervously pacing as she waited to hear the final score. On the court, Mitton's other daughter, Sarah, was settling in for what could be the final few points of her freshman year. It was her first time being coached by her mom and sister, and while there were certainly bumps in the road, they rolling smoothly when it mattered most in the postseason. A quick point on the ensuing possession made it 24-23, Rams on top. Then the Irish committed a net violation on the next point, sending the gym into a frenzy. A sound that Mitton and Ellie were anxiously waiting for as they watched the game on their phone. "Oh yeah they did it," exclaimed Mitton, remembering her initial reaction. "I was going bananas, and I had my daughter right by my side. She wouldn't leave me, and I was so glad she was there." The 2-1 win put the Rams into the Super Regional for the first time since 2011. A major accomplishment for a team powered by the Mitton family. It was the first season where Mitton could coach Sarah, with Ellie by her side as her assistant. Navigating through playing those roles on the team, while also the roles they held in the family was a tough challenge. Thursday night's victory was the epitome of that. It was already an emotional night for the Riverside Rams. Mitton was holding back tears during the national anthem, and the crowd brought unmatched energy from the moment the first serve was delivered. A block by the Rams dropped mere inches out of bounds near the end of set one. It gave Notre Dame a 23-19 advantage. But Ellie Mitton thought the call was wrong. She complained to the ref, who quickly gave her a yellow card, then a red card followed that almost instantly. Mitton jumped to her daughter's defense. "I'm like, you don't give a yellow and red, that's not how you do it," said Mitton. "Then he threw a red up at me and I'm just like what the heck." Mitton was then ejected. Her other daughter, Sarah Mitton, was pacing the floor, getting her teammates back into the game and pumping the crowd up to a volume that would have made a bystander think the Rams had just won the match. Which they eventually would. Usually this season, it was Ellie calming Mitton down, keeping emotions in check. "She's super smart," Mitton said of Ellie. "She knows how to calm me when I need to be calm, she knows how to switch things around for me." The dynamic of a mother and daughter on a coaching staff is much different than a typical staff. Ellie believes it works a little better. "When she's wrong or when I'm wrong," said Ellie, "we're not afraid to say it." But the additional layer of Sarah starting on the team this season as a freshman made things a little tougher to find a groove. "Nobody wants to be my kid on my team," laughed Mitton. "No, no, no." Mitton pushes Sarah hard to get better. She doesn't go easy on her in practice, but she knows it's something Sarah can and needs to handle. "I'm held to higher expectation," said Sarah. "Knowing that there's definitely going to be people that disagree with what I'm doing and why I'm here." Sarah has come to terms with the idea that some may think she only starts because her mom is the coach. Now, it's how she gets extra motivation. "I just got to prove it on the court," said Sarah. "Do the best I can and show them that I definitely deserve to be here." For Mitton the coaching role was easy to adjust to with Sarah. Mitton had coached her eldest daughter for a couple of years. However, Ellie found herself in a mental tug-of-war while coaching Sarah. "It's been hard because she's my baby sister," said Ellie. "I am on that tends to want to coddle her a lot cause she's my favorite... don't tell anyone." They've grown throughout the season, finding the best ways to fit into the many roles that each fill in each other's lives. They also make sure to take a day off each week from volleyball, to take off the coach or player "hat," and just be a family. Every Sunday, they focus instead on family time and football. However, this Sunday might look a little different after the massive win on Thursday. The Rams have a game to prepare for on Monday, a win-or-go home match that will be sure to bring out all the emotions, they just hope it doesn't include the fireworks from the Thursday night ejection.

	Rock Island establishes largest redevelopment zone in Illinois Rock Island is establishing the largest redevelopment zone in the state of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) approved Rock Island’s application to establish a new River Edge Redevelopment Zone on October 27. This economic development incentive exists in a select number of communities statewide. These communities have historically been industrial centers with manufacturing at the heart of their local economies. River Edge helps these communities repurpose former industrial areas for new development. The Zone’s benefits include: • Building Materials Sales Tax Exemption: Developers can purchase building materials free of any sales tax. • Historic Preservation Tax Credits: Developers can combine the 20% federal historic tax credit with the State's non-competitive 25% historic tax credit. • Remediation Tax Credit: Developers can receive a tax credit up to 25% of brownfield remediation costs when they spend $100,000 or more on a site. • New Construction Jobs Credits: Project owners can get tax credits based on the incremental income tax attributable to construction employees employed on a project. • Dividends Deductions: Those receiving dividends declared by corporations in the Zone may deduct the dividends on state income tax. • Interest Income Deduction: Financial corporations can deduct an amount equal to the interest received for a loan for development in Zone from their corporate state income tax. “These benefits put together can help make projects possible that might otherwise be too expensive,” said Community Development Director Miles Brainard. “Polluted sites can be cleaned up, old buildings rehabilitated, and new construction jobs created. There are all sorts of new opportunities for developers to do big things. Creating the largest River Edge Redevelopment Zone in the state at nearly 11.5 square miles is further evidence that economic development remains the number one priority for Rock Island. This city is open for business.”

	Davenport City Council candidate Chris Jerome will ask for recount in 7th ward race Davenport 7th ward candidate Chris Jerome confirmed to Our Quad Cities News he will ask for a recount in his race with Mark Holloway. Holloway leads Jerome 726-720 with 14 write-in votes cast in that race as well. "While I don't expect any changes, I feel that I should request a recount," Jerome told Our Quad Cities News in a text message. Both Holloway and Jerome would be newcomers to Davenport City Council. Mhisho Lynch currently represents the 7th Ward. She announced back in July that she would not seek another term on city council. Scott County Auditor Kerry Tompkins led a post-election audit Friday morning. Tompkins said the audit confirmed a perfect match between the hand count and the election night results from the voting machines. “We’re very pleased to see that this post-election audit, like all of our past audits, verified the accuracy of our voting machines,” Tompkins said in a statement. Iowa law requires the Secretary of State's office to randomly select a precinct in each Iowa county for a hand count to compare with the machine count. Scott County's audit precinct was LeClaire City 1.

	Iowa Supreme Court rules against Davenport, employees in Davenport building collapse The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that two City of Davenport employees are not protected under qualified immunity in connection with a lawsuit over the collapse of The Davenport in May 2023. The justices announced the decision in an opinion on the Iowa Supreme Court’s website. Justices Waterman and Mansfield did not take part. The City of Davenport and two employees (“the defendants”) were appealing an earlier denial of a motion to dismiss under the Iowa Municipal Tort Claims Act’s qualified immunity provisions. A district court denied an earlier motion to dismiss, saying that the plaintiffs’ petition satisfied the requirements of the Act. Click here to watch the video of the decision. The defendants filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss, arguing that the petition “failed to satisfy the Act’s heightened pleading requirements and, in particular, that the petition failed to plead a ‘plausible violation’ of ‘clearly established’ law under §670.4A(3). The City defendants further argued that the claims alleged against them—common law negligence and nuisance—failed because the City defendants owed no duty to the plaintiffs based on the public-duty doctrine. Under the public-duty doctrine, a governmental entity generally cannot be held liable for a plaintiff’s injury that results from the governmental entity’s breach of a duty owed to the public at large and not to the plaintiff individually.” The plaintiffs argued that “§670.4A didn’t apply to the common law tort claims they alleged in the petition, and thus the heightened pleading requirements likewise didn’t apply. And even if §670.4A’s heightened pleading requirements did apply, the plaintiffs contended, the petition met the requirements. The plaintiffs further argued that the public-duty doctrine did not apply to their claims against the City defendants.” Justice McDermott said in the decision, “no public-duty doctrine question is before us. The only issue in this appeal centers on whether the district court properly denied the City defendants’ claim to immunity under §670.4A. The City defendants, agreeing with the district court’s reasoning on this point, contend that the statute unambiguously applies to the plaintiffs’ claims. They present their argument as part of a ‘plain language’ reading of the Act as a whole and argue that because §670.4A applies to a ‘claim brought under this chapter’ and because the Act’s definition of ‘tort’ in §670.1(4) explicitly includes ‘negligence,’ qualified immunity must apply to negligence claims.” “The plaintiffs, conversely, argue that §670.4A doesn’t apply to their claims. They contend that the statute’s specific text—granting immunity for the ‘deprivation’ of a ‘right, privilege, or immunity secured by law’—is a term of art. Iowa Code § 670.4A(1)(a). This language, they argue, was borrowed directly from 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and, like its federal counterpart, was intended to apply only to claims for constitutional or statutory violations, not to common law tort claims.” While the Davenport case was pending, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled in the case of 1000 Friends of Iowa v. Polk County Board of Supervisors. In this case, the justices reasoned that the qualified immunity protections and the associated pleading standard in subsection 3 were “inextricably intertwined” and must be read together. In the case of Doe v. Western Dubuque Community School District, the justices said “that the legislature, by importing the specific, unique language of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, codified a qualified immunity standard to address state constitutional torts.” “The qualified immunity provisions in §670.4 do not apply to the common law tort claims asserted against the City defendants in this case. And because §670.4A does not apply, the City defendants’ appeal under its provisions necessarily fails. We thus dismiss the appeal.”

	"I shudder to think what the national airspace system is going to look like": NATCA's Drew MacQueen responds to the shutdown Air traffic controllers are among the many positions being affected by the government shutdown. As of Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has reduced air traffic by 10% across 40 high-volume markets. A factor in this decision - made by Secretary Sean Duffy - was the strain controllers have felt since the shutdown began on Oct. 1, per AP News. Our Quad Cities News spoke with Drew MacQueen, the Great Lakes Regional Vice President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) on the matter. He supports Secretary Duffy's decision but has a solution to the problem. "I do think the secretary's measures to slow airplanes downs to take off some stress off of the system is only going to ramp up and increase. But I do have a solution for that: we could just open the government," says MacQueen. MacQueen says the shutdown has potential for long-term ramifications. "The more that government shutdowns happen, where controllers are not being paid for long periods of time, will not attract the new future of air traffic controllers that we desperately need," says MacQueen. He suggests it's bigger than just a few cancelled flights. "I understand this is short-term pain for a lot of people, for the flying public, but this is going to leave long-term ramifications potentially for the future of air traffic control in this country. We need to stop using air traffic controllers as political pawns." With the holidays just around the corner, MacQueen predicts flight delays and cancellations will only increase. "If this thing keeps dragging on, and the government shutdown continues through the holiday season through Thanksgiving, I shutter to think what the national airspace system is going to look like."
	Scott County election results confirmed Following the November 4 election, Scott County officials conducted the required post-election audit on November 7. According to a news release from Scott County Auditor Kerri Tompkins: The audit confirmed a perfect match between the hand count and the election night results from the voting machines. By Iowa law, the Secretary of State randomly selects a precinct in each county the day after the election. This year, the chosen precinct was LeClaire City 1. County auditors then supervise a hand count of the votes in that precinct and compare them to the machine totals. This process ensures transparency and maintains public confidence in the integrity of elections. “We’re very pleased to see that this post-election audit, like all of our past audits, verified the accuracy of our voting machines,” Tompkins said. “It’s an important step in demonstrating to the public and all observers the integrity and reliability of the election process.” Here are complete election results:

	Student Hunger Drive raises 3M+ meals for QCA families The 39th annual Student Hunger Drive set new records this year to help more area families, with help from QC students and River Bend Food Bank’s Million Meals Match initiative. Students on stage at the Finale Rally at River Bend Food Bank warehouse on November 6 showed that this year’s Student Hunger Drive raised a grand total of 3,038,599 meals. That total includes 926,393 meals raised by the 16 Quad-Cities area high schools participating in this year’s drive, about a 16% increase from last year’s drive, which raised 787,186 meals. This year’s top school winners in each division are: Division A: Pleasant Valley High School Division B: Alleman High School Division C: Rivermont Collegiate This year, the Million Meals Match – River Bend Food Bank’s first-time ask to businesses and community leaders – raised 2,112,206 meals, boosting the 2025 Student Hunger Drive to its three-million meal total. “Students are and always will be the heart and the engine of Student Hunger Drive,” said Jayna Gallagher, River Bend Food Bank community engagement manager. “The funds and food raised by our students coupled with the contributions of our Million Meals Match supporters has delivered incredible support and hope for our community when we need it most.” Million Meals Match launched September 15 at IHMVCU headquarters. Million Meals Match ambassadors spoke about supporting the new initiative that aimed to add another million meals to the Student Hunger Drive. The 39th annual Student Hunger Drive launched September 29 when hundreds of students and community members gathered for the Kick-Off and Skit Competition at the Davenport warehouse. “Delivering food in these challenging times is difficult,” said River Bend Food Bank president and CEO Chris Ford. “We’ve received incredible support from our community who have raised their voices and their hands to help. What these students and our Million Meals Match supporters deliver right now is not just hunger relief, it is light and inspiration for the staff, volunteers and donors who unite to provide critical food for our community.” The State of lowa announced on October 30 that Health and Human Services would match cash donations to the state’s six regional food banks, up to $1 million. River Bend Food Bank announced it successfully raised $145,000 in cash donations from lowa residents and businesses to secure its portion of the state match. The State of Illinois has committed $700,000 to River Bend Food Bank as part of its SNAP emergency response. Ford said the support from the states of Illinois and lowa is appreciated, but not enough to fill the gap of the 12 million meals provided every month by SNAP for River Bend Food Bank’s 23-county service area. “These are unprecedented times and the compassion and support of individuals of all ages and our corporate supporters are essential,” said Ford. “Tonight, we celebrate our students who have delivered an incredible Student Hunger Drive campaign. Tomorrow, we continue to leverage every tool we have to deliver as much food as we can at this critical time.”

	Galesburg Fire Department offers free smoke alarms to residents The Galesburg Fire Department (GFD) is marking almost 10 years of successfully partnering with the American Red Cross to provide free smoke alarms to local residents. The program has been so effective that the GFD now ranks among the top five fire departments in the northwest region of the state for the number of smoke alarms installed. "Over the years, we’ve witnessed firsthand the life-saving impact of smoke alarms,” said Captain Ben Caruana, fire investigator and lead for the Red Cross Smoke Alarm Program. “They provide early notification, giving people critical time to escape. On the other hand, we’ve seen the tragic consequences when homes lack these alarms during a fire. By installing an average of 200 alarms each year, the Galesburg Fire Department ranks among the top five in the northwest region, demonstrating our commitment to proactive fire safety." According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), working smoke alarms can reduce the risk of dying in a house fire by 60%. Three out of every five fire deaths occur in homes that either have no smoke alarms or where the alarms aren’t working. GFD has these suggestions to ensure smoke alarms are ready if they’re needed. • Replace Batteries: Change the batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. Some models have sealed, 10-year batteries that don’t need replacement. • Test the Alarm: Press the "test" button on each alarm to ensure it sounds properly. • Check the Expiration Date: Look for the expiration date on the back of each alarm. The State Fire Marshal recommends replacing smoke alarms every 10 years. “The Galesburg Fire Department has partnered with the American Red Cross for almost ten years to provide free smoke alarms to our residents. In my 26 years on the department, this has been one of the most successful smoke alarm programs we have assisted with,” said Chief Randy Hovind. “Being able to offer alarms is a vital service to our community. Working smoke alarms provide families with extra time to safely escape in the event of a fire.” Homeowners who need a smoke detector can click here to request one.

	Owners of QC Pancheros named Franchisees of the Year Iowa-based fresh-Mex concept Pancheros Mexican Grill has named Dan Sacco and Doug Ormsby, owners of Quad Cities Pancheros restaurants, as its 2025 Franchisees of the Year, a news release says. Each year, Pancheros names the honoree at its annual franchise conference, which this year was held in Nashville. Dan Sacco, left, and Doug Ormsby (Pancheros Mexican Grill) Sacco and Ormsby were honored in recognition of their 20-year partnership, steady growth and dedication to the brand and their community, the release says. Sacco and Ormsby began their franchising careers working alongside one another, managing operations for a Pizza Hut franchisee. Through these roles, the pair gained hands-on industry experience, leading them to launch their own franchise journey with a brand they both loved: Pancheros. In 2005, Sacco and Ormsby opened their first Pancheros location in Davenport, with a second location in Dubuque opening just three months later. After nearly two decades of continued growth at both locations, dozens of community fundraisers and events held and both franchisees remaining committed brand ambassadors, Sacco and Ormsby decided to expand their footprint in Iowa with a third location in Bettendorf, where Pancheros opened late last year. “As Pancheros continues to expand, our partnerships that stand the test of time are what keep us connected to our values and ultimately, committed to the local fans fueling our growth,” said Rodney Anderson, president and founder of Pancheros. “Partners like Dan and Doug are what our brand and our franchising program are all about: Involved leaders that genuinely invest in our brand and day-to-day operations are franchisees that will evolve with us while keeping us true to our hometown roots. “Since we opened our first location in 2005, Doug and I have maintained a goal of being active franchisees, whether that’s hosting an event supporting a local cause, offering menu suggestions or ensuring that our operations rival those of other industry leaders,” said Sacco. “With the recent opening of our Bettendorf location, our partnership with Pancheros is not slowing down any time soon. This brand has been a part of our family for more than 20 years now, and we look forward to another 20 and then some." In addition to their partnership with Pancheros, Sacco and Ormsby also own three Your Pie Pizzeria locations throughout Iowa. For more information about Pancheros, visit here.

	Cook review: New 'Frankenstein' is an unforgettable, gorgeous tragedy Guillermo Del Toro's "Frankenstein" is incredible from start to finish, a heart-wrenching tragedy with themes about what makes us human. Del Toro wrote and directed this incredible film that's reflects some of Mary Shelley's original 1818 novel about the scientist Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) who sets out to conquer death. If you're a fan of the classic 1931 Universal Pictures "Frankenstein," be prepared for an entirely different tone with this version, which is for grownups only and is full of blood and gore. The story begins in the Arctic, where The Creature seeks revenge on his maker. 'Frankenstein' (IMDb) The rest of the story is told from two different perspectives: Frankenstein's, which comes first, and then The Creature's. Victor's childhood is not a happy one. His stepfather is merciless with him, thinking nothing of physically tormenting him for a simple wrong answer as he learns about science. Victor, tortured in both mind and body, grows up with a manic sense of determination that he will be able to create life. Others laugh at him. But he finds a benefactor (Christoph Waltz) who believes in him, and helps him secure a castle, where a laboratory is constructed. Victor spends hours in his laboratory, which is splattered with the blood and gore of his "specimens." Adding to his frenzy is Elizabeth (Mia Goth, "Pearl,") who is engaged to someone else. Victor and Elizabeth have a chemistry - a current, if you will - that flows between them, and Victor cannot stop thinking about her. When Victor's Creature comes to life, Victor begins to rage at him, tormenting his "child" just as Victor was as a boy. He chains the timid, terrified "monster," who begins to think, understand speech and ponder his plight. As in Del Toro's other films such as "Pan's Labyrinth" and "The Shape of Water," every lush environment, costume and character is a sight to behold as the tale's themes range from doomed romance to what makes us human. Enhancing every scene is the superlative score from Alexandre Desplat. This is the "Frankenstein" I've been waiting for. And it's one of the finest films of 2025. 4 stars Rated: R for graphic blood, gore and violence. At The Last Picture House, Davenport, and streaming on Netflix. Watch the trailer here.
