  Strange Darling 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 26 Aug 2024

  I haven’t reviewed any movies in awhile but this one warrants a mention. I was told to not look up anything regarding this film and to “go in blind”. 
  Before the opening credits role we are told this movie will be shown in 6 chapters. Fair enough, but when it starts with chapter 3 you know this is going to be a fun ride. I’m not going into any plot points but I will say, just when you think you have this movie figured out…you don’t. It has a Tarantinoesque vibe to it. Check it out.

I was disappointed that Judd Nelson and Molly Ringwald did not participate even though McCarthy did try numerous times to track them down. It’s a good watch if 80’s teen movies were your thing.

How some of the main characters survive these brutal attacks is, in all honesty, comical. It reminded me of “The Walking Dead”  and the…

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 25 Jul 2023

  “Oppenheimer” is a must see if you are a history buff(or specifically a WWII buff). Even if you are not either of these, I strongly suggest you see it. The 3 hour running time was, I admit, a tad long but if you’re going to do a film on one of the most important men in world history, I understand why it was so lengthy. Back in my college days, I did a report on “The Manhattan Project” so I’ve…
