Oppenheimer (2023)
Boringheimer
I expected a movie centered around nuclear war and the potential annihilation of the planet to be more captivating, but it just wasn't. Once again Christopher Nolan is semi-redeemed by terrific acting and a great cast, which is perhaps the only redeemable thing about this trash heap of a film. Truthfully I just couldn't wait for it to end...but it just wouldn't.
The fact that this is rated so highly absolutely baffles me. Are our standards for film this low now? Last time I throw my money away supporting a film from arguably the most overrated director in the history of film. Christopher Nolan, you are a such a BORE.
Somewhere in Queens (2022)
Absolutely fantastic
People say this is one of the worst eras of filmmaking. Movies like this prove to me that simply isn't true. We are in what I would consider in what I would consider a golden age of "coming of age" films. Movies like Coda, Lady Bird, Wildflower, and Eighth Grade were excellent at capturing the human adolescent condition in the 21st century. Somewhere in Queens continues that trend while bringing something completely unique and fresh to the genre. Romano has taken some interesting roles in the past few years - movies like The Big Sick, The Irishman, and Paddleton really showed his range as an actor. He's just as good in this as anything he's done, and also showed his chops as a director. I really can't wait to see where his career goes next.
