Oppenheimer

“Oppenheimer” is a 2023 Biography/Drama about the father of the atomic bomb J. Robert Oppenheimer. It has an impressive cast starring Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders), Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place), Robert Downey Jr., (Iron Man), Matt Damon (Downsizing), David Krumholtz (The Santa Clause), Josh Hartnett (The Faculty), and Dylan Arnold (You).

I feel this is one of those films you’re either going to love it or hate it with zero in between. If you like nonstop action, then this movie is not for you. It’s a three-hour movie, mostly about the process in Los Alamos, the development of the bomb, then later on in Oppenheimer’s life when he was trying to keep his security clearance. So, if you don’t like history, I don’t think you’ll enjoy it. I however, loved it. The timeline wasn’t linear it jumped between the actual process of building the bomb and Oppenheimer going through a trial process for his security clearance. Even though the movie is three hours, it doesn’t feel it. The acting is phenomenal on all fronts especially from Cillian Murphy and Matt Damon. I will be shocked if they don’t at least get nominated for an Oscar for their performance of these roles. Cillian Murphy is such a great actor, and his portrayal of Oppenheimer may be his best role yet. I feel this is a must-see movie. I give it a 10/10.

Halloween Kills

“Halloween Kills” is the sequel to the 2018 horror movie “Halloween”. This one brings back Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween 1978), Judy Greer (Jurassic World), and Andi Matichak (Orange is the New Black). It adds Will Patton (Yellowstone), Dylan Arnold (You), and Anthony Michael Hall (The Goldbergs).

This one picks off right where “Halloween” left off, Michael Myers burning in Laurie Strode’s basement. The fire crews come to put out the fire, and evil is unleashed when he is spared. He goes on a city wide killing spree, while the town tries to rally together to finally kill evil once and for all.

Like all of the Halloween movies, there’s not a lot of quality too it. It’s entertaining though, a silent killer walks around just stabbing and slamming heads to murder people. This one does a great job of picking up where the 2018 one left off, and has several nods to the other films in the franchise. My personal favorite Easter egg, is the nod to “Halloween Three Season of the Witch” by having some kids where the Shamrock masks. This one always tends to get overlooked, since it doesn’t have anything to do with Michael Myers but it’s my personal favorite. This one is a little long running, close to two hours, but my biggest issue is with Michael Myers himself. According to the movies he started killing in the 60’s and it’s now 2018. So being generous he’s in his mid 70’s but he’s being shot, stabbed, caught on fire, beaten, etc.. but it doesn’t even phase him. What’s next he’s going to be going after people with his walker? It sets itself up for another one but, come on guys it’s time to let evil die. So overall it’s entertaining and it flows well with the series, I give it a 7/10, but it’s time to let Michael Myers ride off into the sunset.
