Oppenheimer (2023) |
As he corrals the world’s scientists to follow behind him Robert Oppenheimer is magnetic, more akin to a cult leader than a lowly whitecoat. - DamianMichaelMovies.com

Halloween Ends (2022) |
The film has much to say about the effect an angry mob can have when they make a villain out of victims, far more subliminally than 2021’s ‘Halloween Kills’. - DamianMichaelMovies.com

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021) |
A shoddy opening, an intriguing middle, and a deflated conclusion. 'Snake Eyes' is as mixed a bag as they come. - DamianMichaelMovies.com
