Oppenheimer

2023

★★★½ Watched

It's impossible not to enjoy this story or this absolutely stacked cast, but I ultimately came away from this a bit disappointed, as I expected more from Nolan.

While I have not read American Prometheus which this is based on, one of my favorite history books is The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes, which I reread in advance of the movie, so I came in intimately familiar with the story. I'm really happy that such an important,…

Wish Upon

★★★ Liked Watched

Delightful garbage. I've never seen a more graceful combination of inept "teen-speak" ("Your dad is hot sauce. Like Sriracha hot.") and muddled curse rules.

Talk Radio

1988

★★★ Watched

Grandma Ruth would definitely refuse to wear a mask in 2020.

Directed by the visionary behind Bratz and a collection of Disney Channel Original Movies, produced by the mastermind behind 2:22. Still unreleased despite being filmed in 2014. Clearly Hollywood is suppressing this because it's too brilliant. Only future generations will have the capacity to appreciate it.
