Cure (2001) - Movie Review

Cure starts off as a classic detective story until it arrives at it's major conflict. It seems then that the film develops an absurdity. An absurdity that can be traced to the psychology of its main character. Cure explores a major theme as to how eccentrics and lunatics can interfere with orderly citizens. Furthermore; it explores how those citizens are drawn to the mesmerizing debauchery of the insane. Even the criminally insane.

Dr. Strangelove (1964) - Movie Review

Image
In 2024 this Kubrick classic looks outdated. Yet it's influential groundwork can be spotted by a trained viewer. Lest the desperate landline phonecalls and radar reading airforce pilot scenes be considered brilliant. Parody, hilarity, hysteria amongst authorities that control GDP, Executive Military Desicions, etc.  Competency, navigation, decisiveness in soldiers that strangely follow their superiors command. Old school black and white depictions of mushroom cloud nuclear explosions. The technology of the film archaic, but it's content remains relevant.

Oppenheimer (2023) Movie Review

I think that there is a very dynamic, and angular approach to movies that biographically depict the monstrous inventions of white culture in the modern/contemporary era. There's a difference between  Then there's a quotient to be given Abstract thinkers are commonly pushed into realms and quarrels that explore the unknown. Oppenheimer is possibly the greatest approach to the difficult reality we have seen in science and philosophy being depicted in cinema. J. Robert Oppenheimer (Silian Murphy) has a gift. He can comprehend quantum mechanics conceptually, viscerally, and dangerously. Yet the meat of Oppenheimer's plot involves a proposal from a Lieutenant General (Matt Damon). The proposal elaborately involves a thesis: give us a weapon, and we give you glory. A major theme: A genius will be adored, and despised. Furthermore; a genius will be guaranteed do something, create something, and surely something life altering. A second major theme: A genius can be persuaded into cr...

A Review of Justin Murray's Music

The first thing that stood out to me about Justin Murray's music was his vocal talent. I spoke with Justin on several occasions and he performed for me numerous times. His primitive, well sustained chord vocabulary is a well orchestrated foundation for a voice that matches the intensity, warmth, and range of Artists like Post Malone or Ed Sheeran. One might be surprised by Justin's eclecticism. Murray's influences span across old country, contemporary pop, Rap and Hip-Hop, and classic rock. However; I found Justin's sincere ability to transform pain into poetry to be his music's strongest quality. This is an important aspect of creativity in music, to mutate emotion into vibration. To transform sorrow into soul. I'd recommend checking out his latest Extended Play - The Colorado EP Listen to The Colorado EP, a playlist by ThisJustin on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/R5Rdq

Non-Fiction Update

 Why microagressions are a serious danger to social psychology. Let’s take the implicated micro and macro. Suggestively we have something substantially small and in the latter we have a logically much bigger entity or mainframe. These aggressions are coming out in a multitude of formats, dispersing themselves as tricky puzzling remarks that can potentially amount to an overall stress. Potentially equal to the awful outright controversial terms known as slurs and insults. While this may sound discouraging there is hope within the plethora of organized and creative philology thought the study of our languages. How we can understand and treat each other better. With compassion, love, understanding, patience, and serendipity. In videography (unposted), an article was promised on linguistic racism. No authentic research on PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia required....... Pharmaceutical malpractice... Let us think of the dangers not only of artificial intelligence, but also of the s...

Killers of The Flower Moon (2023) Film Review

Martin Scorcese's films have frequently had an interpretive scope into organized crime, and the barbaric use of violence to leverage authority and power. Despite a lack of glorification, Killers of The Flower Moon is perhaps the most transparent, historically outspoken, and controversial of all of his directed stories. Beyond that it hits close to home as his most biographical accurate film. One that explores a devastating story of greed, corruption, and murder that took place on American soil. Willaim (Robert Deniro) plays an inconceivably greedy Mob Boss whose agenda corroded the integrity of many families, practicioners, and residents of Osage. Willaim created a cultish mafia to confiscate oil lands, wealthy property, and money from Native American families in Osage Oklahoma. He arranges brutal assassinations, deceives with bribery and lies, and mercilessly submits a beautiful, organic, and holistic Native American culture with medical malpractice, cultural appropriation and thi...
