    Twisters

    ★★★

    I mean it’s alright. One of those turn-your-brain-off-and-enjoy kind of movies, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

    Continuing along my game of “catch-up” as I make my way through the vast number of films I missed in 2023, I find myself finally arriving at the year’s defining picture. That of course is Christopher Nolan’s three hour historical biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer. I actually got to see this in a near empty theater only 14 hours ago and my god was it worth it. A theatrical experience is something everyone should aim for with this film, whether…
