  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Sep 2023

  Cinematography? Amazing. 
  Acting? Stellar.
  Attempt to distill pure hubris into a feature length film? A bit lackluster. 

  Maybe it was the septuagenarians applauding the dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the theater, but it was hard for me to reconcile the glorification of an event that fundamentally changed the course of human history for the absolute worst.

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 19 Dec 2023

  I wasn’t sure what to expect — and somehow Greta agreeing still managed to exceed every expectation imaginable. 

  Such a great watch — beautifully filmed, attention to detail RE: costumes/set design is so impressive!
