Oppenheimer Movie Review
When it comes to the biggest names in filmmaking, Christopher Nolan has always commanded a great deal of respect. His latest project, Oppenheimer, is quite the anomaly, adopting a 15 rating and being distributed outside of WB Pictures for the first time in over a decade. Success is all but assured as we’re treated to another intelligent blockbuster.

Movie Review: Barbie
🎥 Barbie (2023) 📌 FANTASY COMEDY FILM 📌 7.6/10 IMDB 📌 8.3/10 GOOGLE 📌 ENGLISH The film "Barbie," directed by Greta Gerwig, stands out as a remarkable feat of technical and tonal mastery. A spectacular visual display that succeeds at exuberant escape while fervently inspiring action. "Barbie" is brimming with intricate details and requires careful examination to fully appreciate each aspect, from the minute details of the accessories to the brilliant costume design, expertly curated by the renowned Jacqueline Durran, a two-time Oscar winner. The production design, which Sarah Greenwood, a six-time Oscar nominee, expertly created, charms with its never-ending ingenuity and vivid hues, perfectly suited for the ever-evolving symbol. Notably, three-time Oscar nominee and director of photography Rodrigo Prieto gives the entire extravaganza a beautiful sheen. But the real wonder is how these recognizable statues have been brought to life by Gerwig and her team, giving them a contagious energy and a wry wink to the world in which they exist.

Nonetheless, despite its noble aspirations, "Rise of the Beasts" falls short in certain aspects, resulting in a somewhat mixed impression.

SDCC Recap
For us day 2 was Saturday and though it was slightly less busy then Friday we were still kind of running around a lot. We ended Saturday at about 13,000 steps and my hips were killing me by the end of the day. We not only got a lot of panels and things done, but I got to do some networking and we finally made our way to the exhibit floor.

SDCC Recap
Of course, San Diego Comic Con was the most amazing nerd experience. After about 10 years of my father and I trying desperately to get tickets, and failing, I finally got to go as press with Intermyth and Temple of Geek. I was also able to get my father a pass and made both of our nerd dreams come true. The weekend was packed and when the schedule was released I had a very difficult time deciding what we were actually going to go to.
