Oppenheimer Is A Masterpiece
In and of Theory; and In Spite of Itself
Beautiful but long masterwork teaming with career best from those on screen and off. The story of scientific ambition at odds with realpolitik deserves praise in almost every major category. The masterpiece gets in its' own way, heightening personal dramas that pale in comparison to theo-philisophical implications of nuclear war.
About the Creator
Herman Wilkins
It all starts with a good story, who's telling it, how, when and why, then all that's left is what it takes to get it heard. Any way you hear a story, in print, Blender or 65mm, it starts with words. Any writing you keep reading is art.

Barbie Is Not A Masterpiece
In a world where blockbusters based on toys or other shiny pre-existing IPs rule the Cinelux, Barbie never takes itself seriously and even laughs and winks when it does. No Oscar bait here, but chances are the gold could have a pink lining this year, Thanks to Ms. America (Ferrera).

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

But it's the personal dramas that help us connect - and remember that we, too, are capable of awesome things.
