Face/Off 1997
Is it ridiculous? Yes. Over the top? Very. Tonally inconsistent? Absolutely. But I loved every minute of this action 90s farce. When Nic Cage is being Nic Cage it’s a total joy, but when John Travolta is being Nic Cage, well that’s just the cherry on top of an overloaded banana cream sundae! John Woo isn’t afraid of traversing taboo terrain, raising the stakes much higher than they would be under a more serious director. Definitely worth a watch, and maybe even two or three.

From Dusk Till Dawn 1996
Add this to the list of overhyped films that are really two films in one (see Hereditary, Parasite and Sunshine to name a few).

He’s saying they are going to literally leave a good movie and go into a cliched dumpster fire. Two stars for the first half, but the second half drags the overall product into the echelons of a C-grade horror film. What a waste of a great concept.

Oppenheimer 2023
Complex and intense. I was captivated the full three-hour run time, as I was unaware of the history surrounding Oppenheimer. New viewers beware: this is not a film about the atomic bomb; it is very much about the man behind the creation - thus the name, and thus warranting the final hour of the film which garnered such criticism.
Definitely an increase of quality in Nolan’s prestigious career from some of his more disappointing entries (Tenet and Dunkirk notably). Nolan’s…Translated from by
