Cinema Cindy Reviews: Poor Things
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
“Poor Things” is not a film for the squeamish, nor would it be enjoyed by the prudish. (For proof of this, note the description in the MPAA rating at the end of this review.) For anyone else, it is a daring film. One review aptly calls it “an impeccably awkward, satirical adventure into absurdity” (IMDB), which about sums it up.
Poor Things has received the second highest number of nominations for Oscars this season: eleven to Oppenheimer’s thirteen. But again, be warned, it will take a strong stomach to watch this strange movie.

Online Lecture With Author Nick Pappas On Tragic Story Of Historic Mining Disaster Noon-1PM Feb. 7
NMDCA News:
In October 1913, 261 miners and two rescuers died when a massive explosion ripped through a mine operated by Phelps, Dodge & Company in Dawson, New Mexico. Ten years later, a second blast claimed the lives of another 120 miners.
Today, all that remains is a cemetery marked by a sea of white iron crosses memorializing the nearly four hundred miners killed in the two explosions — and a vibrant community that still gathers by the hundreds every other Labor Day weekend for a picnic reunion on the old townsite, long after the town was no more.
The community is invited to join Pappas for an Read More
