"They won't understand it until they use it."
It's every bit as good as you've heard. A three hour film that's all dialogue, that cracks and moves at a sharp pace that is constantly filled to the brim with tension. Cillian Murphy is delivering a masterful performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer, and he's helped along by a superb supporting cast including potential Oscar nominee, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, and a…
"Note to filmmakers, Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you're trying to make this point."
Yes, I did the Barbenheimer.
And I'm one of the crazy ones cause I did Oppenheimer first. And I took a walk afterwards cause I had about an hour in-between screenings so I could bring my heart rate down. Then I went into Barbie.
Fully expecting a laugh out loud, existentialist comedy, something light and fun to pep me…

"We are not killers, Jaimie."
When you're asking yourself how does a movie go from being a streaming release to a theatrical one, look no further than Angel Manuel Soto's Blue Beetle. You can tell it didn't have the budget, and that it was always meant to be a throwaway film, so Soto said screw it, I'm gonna do what I wanna do. And he ended up making one of the coolest (and cheapest) Latino…
"Men need therapy."
I know I'm not going to be able to bring this film's rating down cause the gays rule Letterboxd, and any representation for them is instantly the greatest film of all time, but allow me to be the cold water of reality for a moment.
Emma Seligman is 0-2 in my book. While Bottoms is SIGNIFICANTLY funnier, more engaging, and technically sound than her previous film, you can tell she's still learning how to…
"Empathy is bisexual. It goes both ways."
I want to start by saying that I get what the LGBTQ community is saying. That right now, there is still violence happening against trans people all around the world, and therefore, ANY negative connotation put out there towards or about them is tantamount to violence. It's a noble notion but it is insanely flawed.
I also want to point out that while I thoroughly enjoyed this special, it's not my favorite of…
"What does it take to wake up a generation?"
THEATER GEEKS ASSEMBLE!!!
You can definitely tell Lin-Manuel Miranda has the utmost respect for Johnathan Larson and the biggest passion for musical theater that you can find. And he directs the shit out of this film. His understanding of the theater stage, and his foray into films recently with Vivo, Moana, and In The Heights, gives him amazing vision. And his translation of the very minimal stage play…
