Everything really clicked watching Oppenheimer again. Easily Nolan’s best movie. I won’t mind this winning all the awards. Although I still think I like Killers of the Flower Moon a little better.

I really enjoyed it. I love Jimmy Caan.
This afternoon I'm watching another 1974 gambling movie - California Split.

Both are great movies, but I'd give the edge to The Nice Guys. A great physical comedy performance from Gosling.

Eileen.
It looked great, compelling leads and a very tense, strong, hitchcockian atmosphere but the ending really feels flat and kinda ruins the whole experience.
Weird really.

I havent read the novel and i can think why it would be good yeah. The movie has a lot of thing to go for but ultimately it was a disappointment for me.

The movie is really good. It's very different from the novel in key ways, which I find really exciting.
