  Killers of the Flower Moon 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Oct 2023

  This film is relatively quiet with a somber story-telling pace which seems appropriate as it sheds light on the diabolically methodical Osage Nation murders. 

  Scorsese’s opener was endearing & his closing dialogue was especially moving — a true value-add.

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Jul 2023

  The third act makes the long lead up required. A re-watch seems necessary to catch all the details. Oppenheimer is morally, politically, & existentially thought provoking in the scope of the life & inner-world of the individual human spanning to the connected workings of global humanity — especially when acts of fission are at play.

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Jul 2023

  Unexpectedly emotional! Barbie addresses big issues that are likely to go over the heads of some viewers. It earns its stars more so for the statements it makes than for the plot itself. It is cathartic comedy wrapped in a pink bow.
