    Mickey 17

    ★★★★

    Ruffalo's performance was distracting. Still can't decide if it's the best or the worst thing about this movie, which means it was at least interesting.

    I might be fucking crazy, but I kept seeing Wes Anderson moments, namely when the creepers are pulling Mickey up a tunnel and when they try to put the big rock in the space garage thing.

    This might not be as rewatchable as Bong Junho's "important" movies, but he has a way of reinforcing tropes while subverting them. I'm always overtly reminded of other movies but still surprised about where he takes the story.

  • Oppenheimer

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★½

    For me, the production value, quality of the cast, and inherently engaging topic make this impossible to hate. The hokey script and clumsy story structure, though, make me feel like we blew the chance of getting a truly great movie about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. As many have noted, the score is impressive, but I feel the movie leaned on it waaaaaaay too much. This one is worth a watch, of course, just to be part of the discourse, but I don't plan on revisiting this one.
