  Chinatown 1974

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Jan 2025

  Excellent watch on the plane headed to California today. Would have given it five stars if it weren’t for the turbulence.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★ Watched 29 Dec 2024

  Not a great choice to see with your GF’s family. That may be why I didn’t like it all that much. Herzog’s is my favorite that I’ve seen.

  After Hours 1985

  I was about to fall asleep before I turned this on but my tiredness was replaced by anxiety for 1.5 hours.

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Jul 2023

  May we reflect on simultaneously a remarkable achievement and a horrific tragedy. Really enjoyed how this was basically two movies in one. Could have been 5 hours, IMO the pacing in the beginning was annoying. Moved to tears multiple times by the magnitude of this real thing that happened. Possibly the most important event ever. I didn’t know anything about the defamation/“trial” of Oppie post WW2, so it was very interesting to learn about. As a scientist, I think I’ll hold this movie close, as it humanizes one of the greatest minds to ever live.
