Invitation to Hell (1982) - VHS cover

[haverwood]

Atlantis Michael J. Murphy UK, 1990 ★★★ Another schlock masterpiece!

This really looks like a bunch of friends decided to "make a movie" and shot it over a weekend, in someone's property (some of the sets look as small as a room, requiring a lot of cuts to make it feel bigger).

The best part is that everyone's game and having fun, and it shows.

There's zero cynicism on display, and that's what really matters.

DEATH RUN

UK

1987

Directed by Michael J Murphy

[denimbex1986]

'Director Christopher Nolan assembled an all-star cast for his summer blockbuster “Oppenheimer,” a biopic about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the Manhattan Project. The film, based in part off the definitive Oppenheimer biography “American Prometheus,” stars Cillian Murphy as the famed scientist...

J. Robert Oppenheimer

One of the 20th century’s great enigmas, J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was born into a wealthy New York family. His pick as the head of the Manhattan Project was a risky one: He was a theoretical physicist, not a practical one, and he was well known for his eccentricities. But Oppenheimer transformed into a bureaucratic mastermind, deftly leading scientists and the military together at Los Alamos.

After the war, he was swept up in the nationwide panic over communism, and several key figures within the U.S. government accused him of being a Soviet spy. Some of his former colleagues turned on him in a 1954 hearing that would end in the revocation of his security clearance. After a lifelong habit of smoking up to five packs a day, Oppenheimer died of throat cancer in 1967. He is played by Cillian Murphy (“Peaky Blinders,” “Inception”) in “Oppenheimer.”

Kitty Oppenheimer

Kitty Puening (1910-1972) was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States when she was a toddler. Described by friends and acquaintances as smart, mercurial and vivacious, Oppenheimer was her fourth husband. Her first marriage lasted just a year, and she soon became the common-law partner of Joseph Dallet Jr. a member of the Community Party. Bolstered by his convictions, Dallet left for Spain to fight in the Spanish Civil War. He died in combat in October 1937.

When Kitty met Oppenheimer at a party in Pasadena two years later, she was married to her third husband, Stewart Harrison. Kitty became pregnant with Oppenheimer’s child in 1940, and they asked Harrison to grant Kitty a divorce. The Oppenheimers had a son and daughter together. Kitty’s ties to the Communist Party were part of the evidence put forward by Oppenheimer’s detractors.

Kitty Oppenheimer is played by Emily Blunt (“A Quiet Place,” “Jungle Cruise”).

Jean Tatlock

Described by some as the love of Oppenheimer’s life, Jean Tatlock (1914-1944) was a pioneering doctor in the Bay Area. She attended Stanford Medical School and became a clinical psychiatrist in her 20s. Her brilliance attracted Oppenheimer, who met her at a house party in Berkeley. The pair were on and off for years until Tatlock called their engagement off in 1939.

Tatlock was found dead in her San Francisco apartment in 1944. She was just 29...Tatlock is played by Florence Pugh (“Little Women,” “Midsommar”).

Ernest Lawrence

Long before Oppenheimer became a household name, Ernest Lawrence (1901-1958) was one of America’s most famous scientists. He joined the physics faculty at UC Berkeley in 1928 and, the next year, was joined there by Oppenheimer. Both in their 20s, they became close friends — Lawrence later named his son Robert in Oppie’s honor. While at Cal, Lawrence invented the cyclotron, which earned him a 1939 Nobel Prize.

However, their friendship soured, as the men butted heads about the future of nuclear weapons. After the war, Lawrence pushed for more government funding into nuclear research, and founded the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The death knell for their friendship was when Lawrence reportedly discovered Oppenheimer was having an affair with Ruth Tolman, the wife of their friend and Caltech scientist Richard Tolman.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the chemical element lawrencium are both named for Lawrence. He is played in the movie by Josh Hartnett (“Penny Dreadful,” “Pearl Harbor”).

Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves

The military head of the Manhattan Project, Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves (1896-1970) was tasked with finding a scientist to lead the team in Los Alamos. Groves, who was the son of an Army chaplain, was the consummate military bureaucrat. His skill at building teams landed him in charge of both the construction of the Pentagon and the Manhattan Project during World War II.

On the day the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Groves called Oppenheimer from Washington to congratulate him. “I think one of the wisest things I ever did was when I selected the director of Los Alamos,” Groves said. When Oppenheimer said he wasn’t as sure, Groves replied, “Well, you know I’ve never concurred with those doubts.”

Groves is played by Matt Damon (“The Martian,” “The Last Duel”).

Lewis Strauss

One of the villains of the Oppenheimer story is Lewis Strauss (1896-1974), the chair of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Oppenheimer and Strauss conflicted in just about every way. While Strauss wanted the U.S. to maintain secrecy about their nuclear arsenal and develop ever more powerful hydrogen bombs, Oppenheimer objected to both. Oppenheimer, who was highly regarded and never afraid to embarrass someone he considered foolish, irritated Strauss constantly.

Strauss got his revenge working with FBI director and professional paranoiac J. Edgar Hoover to look for Soviet sympathies in Oppenheimer’s life, which set into motion the security hearing that would revoke Oppenheimer’s top-secret clearance. Strauss is played by Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron Man,” “Dolittle”).

Richard Feynman

Few men involved with the Manhattan Project had lives as colorful as Richard Feynman (1918-1988). Feynman was not yet 25 when he was recruited to work in Los Alamos — he didn’t even have a graduate degree. But the Queens man with a thick New York accent and a devilish grin was an undeniable genius. He also loved pranks. He was known for sneaking into the facility — something that could have easily gotten him shot — and used to crack safe combinations where his colleagues stored top-secret material.

In 1965, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and he became a household name thanks to his bestselling memoir “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” He is played by Jack Quaid (“The Boys,” “Logan Lucky”).

Robert Serber

Robert Serber (1909-1997) was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan in 1934 when he attended a guest lecture by Oppenheimer. The professor’s brilliance was so unforgettable, Serber packed his bags and transferred immediately to UC Berkeley to study under him. The two became fast, lifelong friends. When Serber was ready for an associate professorship, Oppenheimer advocated for him. Department chair Raymond Birge, however, wrote that “one Jew in the department is enough.” (Oppenheimer was Jewish, as was Serber.)

Serber accompanied Oppenheimer to Los Alamos and was later one of the first Americans to inspect the bomb sites at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He is played by Michael Angarano (“I’m Dying Up Here,” “The Knick”).

Werner Heisenberg

Oppenheimer’s counterpart in Nazi Germany was Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976). As the Manhattan Project was getting off the ground, American scientists feared they were far behind the Nazis’ nuclear program. Luckily for them, Heisenberg was nowhere near the creation of an atomic bomb. Despite being a Nobel Prize winner, Heisenberg never got close to unlocking nuclear fission; when he learned of Hiroshima while in an English prison camp, he expressed astonishment that the Americans could create such a weapon at all.

Heisenberg is played by Matthias Schweighofer (“Hinterland,” “Army of the Dead”).

Frank Oppenheimer

Frank Oppenheimer, the younger brother of Robert, also had his life torn apart by Cold War paranoia. A brilliant scientist in his own right, Frank Oppenheimer (1912-1985) joined the American Communist Party in the 1930s. Although he left it several years later, after the war he was ordered in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. As a result of the Red Scare fervor, he was forced to resign his teaching job at the University of Minnesota. He moved to a cattle ranch in Colorado. There, he was able to get a job teaching again — at a high school.

In the 1960s, Oppenheimer decided he wanted to open a kid-friendly science museum. He found its home in San Francisco, and there he opened the Exploratorium in 1969. He was a constant presence at the museum until his death in Sausalito in 1985. He is played by Dylan Arnold (“You,” “Halloween”).'

Seattle's Resident Shaman

I love this series. If you take nothing else from this post, take my absolute adoration for Joanne, Gary, Morrison, Billy, and the cast of these nine books. They are incredibly written and unique. This is the urban fantasy detective/cop series I now recommend to readers instead of the Dresden Files. Let's talk The Walker Papers.

Joanne Walker (nee Siobhan Grania MacNamarra Walkingstick) is a half Irish, half Cherokee mechanic in Seattle who gets run through and is given three days to learn to use her shamanic powers and save the world. In Joanne's corner are septugenarian, recent widower, and all around badass good guy Garrison Matthrew Muldoon, Detective Billy Holliday, and Captain Michael Morrison. In the oppostite corner are the Wild Hunt, Cernunnos, and Hearne. Joanne barely manages to pull off not letting the end of the world happen, but all of Urban Shaman is a wake-up call about needing actual training and knowledge and kicks off a journey to get it.

Thunderbird Falls is, if anything, a treatise on the dangers of choosing sources and teachers, but also the lessons that you learn (and the damage that you live with and carry) in choosing poorly. This is the least memorable book in the series for me; it's not bad by any means, but it is the one I reread the least.

Coyote Dreams is tied for my favorite entry in this book with Mountain Echoes. CE Murphy had said that the series was conceptualized as three trilogies representing Joanne's journey from apprentice to journeyman to full shaman, and this book really feels like a changing point for Joanne, both magically, personally, and interpersonally. It's also where we really start to get a shift with Morrison, and the slow burn enemies to lovers thing they will roll with for the next few books really kicks off. It's also the book where Morrison gets prompted to actually look at Joanne's past, and for the next like, FOUR books you're always just kind of background wondering how much he knows. Plus we have an accidental end-of-times sign that kicks off a sleeping sickness, and as far as epidemics go, this one is not too intense for the 2020s.

If I have to tell you that Walking Dead is the zombie book...welcome to the literary club, we have jackets and I'll see about getting you the "Books 101" handbook. This is also the Halloween book, and literally everything about it is absolutely delightful. This book is sheer fun from start to finish, while simultaneously really digging into some emotional backstory with Billy and some really incredible closure with his sister.

If Walking Dead is the Halloween book, then Demon Hunts is the Christmas book--but I mean that in the best way. I'm not usually a "Christmas Book" girl, and its not overwhelming in this book, it's more just...it's been a couple months since the events of the last book, so it's December, y'all. But what I love about this book is that it really sparks Joanne's internal journey with coming to terms with her personal and cultural pasts. We get to meet her best friend from high school, and she's a Federal Office now. It's amazing. Also, Gary has a tortise, and no, I will not explain further, but it is INCREDIBLE.

Spirit Dances continues Joanne's journey into her cultural pasts. There is shapeshifting. There is DEFINTELY a Joanne-Morrison date, that they frame as a mission. There might be werewolves. This is also the book where Joanne transitions into a full-blown shaman in her own right; it's functionally a graduation day.

Where Demon Hunts and Spirit Dances really explore the Cherokee half of Joanne's heritage, Raven Calls dives deeeeeeep into the Irish half. If you are planning to read "No Dominion," this is the book that novella slots neatly inside. I actually do recommend reading "No Dominion" with this book, because it adds so much. Also, we very much get Morrison--who could not drop everything and fly to Ireland on zero notice because honestly, that's just life sometimes--putting Gary on a plane to be Joanne's backup. Seriously, the amount of no-questions-asked backup Joanne has is incredible and I love it.

Mountain Echoes is tied with Coyote Dreams for my favorite book, and this one is the Joanne and Morrison show that we have been waiting for for FIVE BOOKS at this point. This book also has wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, and brings Joanne's past crashing forward into a present she objectively did not expect to have, let alone have to deal with. We get to meet Aidan--and briefly Ayita--in this book, and it's incredible. And THEN. And THEN CE Murphy drops the biggest bombshell as the last line at the end of this book. If you're going to read "No Dominion," read it BEFORE the end of this book.

Final books can be tricky, and not all of them stick the landing. I thought that Shaman Rises stuck the landing. It tied up all the threads that had built over the last eight books, and i was intensely satisfied at the end of it. No spoilers though, because this book is fast-paced and absolutely WILD. It's 100% worth the ride and I wouldn't dream of ruining it for anoyone.
