So I just came back from Barbenheimer (Barbie & Oppenheimer for those who’ve been living under a rock) and both movies were amazing.
Oppenheimer is about historical scientific breakthroughs & the drama that goes along with it. If you’re not into history then you won’t get this movie. It’s long I will say but it tells a really strong story about the man who started it all. A lot of faces I didn’t expect to see like Robert Downey Jr, Rami Malek, & even Josh Peck. Great movie all in all.
Barbie Barbie Barbie. This movie was made for what it looks like, fun. Lots of bright energy and funny moments with performances from a stellar cast. Margot Robbie played a great Barbie with a quite interesting story arc. Himbo king Ryan Gosling and his gay squire Kingsley Ben-Adir was everything to me. There are some powerful messages tied into the movie about self identity not just for girls, but for everyone. Bonus points for the bop at the end of the movie. Today was a great day to be a movie geek.
Also go watch They Cloned Tyrone on Netflix it’s awesome
