  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  I liked: Anthony Mackie being set up as a lead. 
  I disliked: how much this movie relied on a Hulk movie no one cares about. 
  I’m confused about: what the point of most of this movie was other than setting up Sam Wilson as Cap. Wasn’t there a show for that? Could this not have brought us more into the multiverse saga instead of mentioning it in a post credits scene? 
  Overall: fun watch but what am I supposed to take away from that?

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Jul 2023 3

  My favorite thing about this movie is that the guy that talks about the flood bowl from chipotle on instagram reels told me not to see it because it is for betas. 
  Unironically, I think if all men were given a cool mojo dojo casa house and a horse the patriarchy would be over because we would all be preoccupied and have our needs met. 
  I also refuse to take this seriously after my years as an English major, film concentration that has to make everything about gender, misogyny, and capitalism (I also mansplained it to my wife)

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 21 Jul 2023

  It’s a movie I can’t say I will watch again any time soon. Not because it’s long, or because I didn’t like it, but because it was just a heavy piece of work. Magnificent, as it should be with all of the top notch elements no one is surprised to find, yet I find  hard to watch. It’s important, and it tells a story about life and death and the tightrope the world now walks on as this cat was…
