Oppenheimer: Movie Review

Complexity of a tortured genius.

Oppenheimer tells a complicated portrait of a complicated by man by weaving in the science, the politics, and his fame. The first act is primarily Robert Oppenheimer as the physicist – an impulsive and smart young man, who studied in Europe and learned the languages and cultures around him. It also starts introducing the political trials that will surround him in later years.		2023 Directed by: Christopher Nolan Screenplay by: Christopher Nolan, Kai Bird, Martin Sherwin Starring: Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr.

Barbie: Movie Review

A funny and smart synopsis of Barbie in the real world vs Barbieland.

Barbie is book-ended with a history of Barbie and Mattel. Within the opening minute it gives a concise breakdown of why Barbie exists and why it become so popular: because Barbie represented a world of possibilities, girls could play pretend as anything they wanted, they were no longer confined to playing house. Over in Barbieland, all the Barbies are living their best life. Their best plastic life.		2023 Directed by: Greta Gerwig Screenplay by: Greta Gerwig, Noah Baumbach Starring: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling

What's My Name Again?: Movie Review

What’s My Name Again? Is about Bo Baxter (Ryan Winn) except he soon finds out that Baxter isn’t really his last name. His birth father Robert Olaffson has been mostly out of the picture since he was born, his first step-father Scott Baxter was supposed to adopt him (and as far as everyone knows, he did adopt him) except his mother never filed the adoption papers, so his name isn’t really his name.		2023 Directed by: Spencer Zender Screenplay by: Spencer Zender Starring: Ryan Winn, Allison Byrnes, Nick Schultz, and Talia Mychael Blaney
