Oppenheimer is a riveting character study of the highest order. It's dense, dialogue-heavy, detailed, and an exhibition of the amazing cast's acting prowess.
At the same time, the subject matter, even if you know of this true story, is enough to keep you transfixed and engaged during its 3-hour runtime.
This is Christopher Nolan's equivalent to David Fincher's The Social Network (2010); a biopic veering away from the usual formula and going the route of alternate timelines. As per usual…
I love how Barbie isn't what many might've expected it to be. Instead of being some sugary, whirly, spoon-feeding Barbie adventure (like the hundreds and hundreds of animated ones already made), this one turned out to be a satire we really needed.
Using the idea of Barbie as a parallel to the real world and how we are is brilliantly engineered by director and co-writer Greta Gerwig. It's meta, clever, funny, and scathing, in a wink-wink way. I think it's…
How fitting is it that the L Twins, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are executive producers of a movie based on a book called The Antisocial Network?
Dumb Money is a much better watch than I expected. It's like a more easily digestible The Big Short Lite, coupled with a wink-wink, tongue-in-cheek type humor that director Craig Gillespie approached in the past with I, Tonya.

The first rule of Bottoms is "You do not talk about Bottoms"?
Bottoms is so extra, for all the best reasons. It's a zany comedy that is in your face with its satire about male worship in high school. Sure, it's exaggerated, but really, is there really THAT much difference than in real life?
What a great year for feminist satires with Barbie having been out earlier this summer. This movie also pairs well with 2019's Booksmart. All are female…
Apart from some of the psychological aspects we all know from this film, my newest takaway in this rewatch of American Psycho is the unapologetic vanity of all the characters.
In particular, the male characters here represent that greed that's had lasting effects in the present day. For sake of sounding like a complaining Millennial (which I totally own that I am), that Yuppie subculture of Baby Boomers were the ones who wanted…
