  Barbie 2023

  ★★★ Watched 26 Jul 2023 8

  When it was trying to be funny, it was REALLY funny. When it tried to be deep… well it is a movie based off a toy sooooo….. whatever it’s kenough.

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Jul 2023 3

  Now I am become HAL, watcher of Oppenheimer.
  Anyway, lots to appreciate, the kind of Nolan film that you want to experience again and again to truly learn everything it does. For now, recognizing Jack Quaid and having the Best of the Worst episode with Stone Cold coming full circle is satisfying enough.

  Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar 2021

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Sep 2023 1

  Another half a star for that one second of Kermit the frog. There’s so much to talk about, I’m afraid I’m gonna have to save this for Talking Club, even if it’s NOT the topic!

  Duck Soup 1933

  ★★★★ Rewatched 24 Sep 2023

  Some of the greatest gags I’ve ever seen in a comedy movie, Harpo driving away on the motorcycle cart leaves me almost crying from how hard I’m laughing. If I go through life with even a sliver of Groucho Marx’s wit I’ll die a happy man.

  Turning Red 2022

  ★★ Watched 11 Mar 2022 63

  Was a 5/10 then they said “my panda, my choice” and I cringed into the next century so now it’s a 4. Lots of people will like this, lots will hate it, I just wish the dad was an actual character outside of the one scene in the third act.

  Puss in Boots: The Last Wish 2022

  ★★★★ Rewatched 08 Jan 2023 18

  Nothing in any movie last year made me laugh as hard as this exchange between ethical bug and Jack Horner:

  “You’re an irredeemable monster”
  “Oh oh what took you so long, IDIOT??”
