I haven't even watched the OG Dune with Kyle Maclahalahahalahalalan
Dune 2 - (9.5)
I didn't even care for Dune (6.5 at best) when it came out a couple of years ago. Too much dialogue to set things up and the action was meh at best. Now, Dune 2 is a different story. There was dialogue, but it was not drawn out and used only to set up the storyline and situations. The action was on point, and the cinematography and audio was amazing.

How bout him in -The Hidden- from '87? Grade A materiel start to finish.I haven't even watched the OG Dune with Kyle Maclahalahahalahalalan
Chris Nolan is a bit overrated
There, I said it
Saw that Bob Marley movie a week ago and it was trash other than the music, 2/10. Haven't seen anything good in theaters since The Iron Claw.
Amen. I don't get it either.
...If you can see your way clear to divulge WTF was (their) motive to do The Dutch like that, bum? Was it their old man basically?
Well, it ain't because he's Black, because he's White. I just looked him up on the Google
tbh I liked BB and loved TDK
Inception was good too
But Prestige, Tenet, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer...yawn
Do The Dutch like that? Sorry, not following.
Why did they all kill themselves? Was it the old man's at ude?
The movie did kind of make the old man into the villain pushing everyone into wrestling while in real life Kevin said all this brothers were super into wrestling, and one of them (Chris) shot himself because he was asthmatic and could never put on the size to be any good at it but was left out of the movie and kind of folded into the character of another brother Mike who also killed himself. Though in real life Kevin said his dad was so ed up by Kerry's suicide that he pulled a gun on him like he was going to kill Kevin (also not in the movie). But the movie had a drugged up Kerry shooting himself once he got fired from wrestling and Mike killing himself because because of the complications from his shoulder surgery that nearly killed him, though the movie made it out like his dream was to be a country singer and not a wrestler. Really good movie but pretty unfair to the dad IMO. Oh well, Hollywood is always going to twist stories.

Grim business for sure. Thanks, bum.
Damsel: 3/10 Low-budget special effects and shallow plot. Millie Bobby Brown is gonna be around for a while though.
Saw it in the listings as well last night and by passed it on a hunch. Thank goodness.
I made a list off the Internet of 6 good movies on the Prime stream. Got on there and every one of those 6 movies required a rental!
Finally settled on the FreeVee stream watching a movie called -Anabelle & Elvis- '07 starring Blake Lively as a beauty contestant and some unknown playing Elvis who in this movie is portending to be a mortician that in reality is his father's trade who is in ill health, played by Joe Montegna...he's pitiful, almost too pitiful. She dies one evening on stage and just as Elvis is about to embalm her she comes back to life. You'd think with that premise it would be a treat. No, it's goofy instead with Mary Steenburgen, Lively's mother playing a moron for no good reason.
I'm gonna brazen it out tonight and finish it.
FreeVee has commercials and this one is moderately ed with 'em, but I'm gonna do it!
That's too bad. I liked the idea of it when I saw the preview
Kung Fu panda 4: 2/10
Generic, bland, unfunny and I think the animation actually is worse. Felt like it should have been an episode on a cartoon series for it. It was like they took the characters and The Hero's Journey and inputted into chatgpt. Sad quick cash grab.
And fully WOKE. They're hammerin' the preview like madmen. Figures you'd sit there for the whole enchilada, Blake.
Finished it last night, but it's pretentious junk all the way thru. I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with it.
Great moments in film.
You can stop at "50."
36 seconds in.
It's just baseball thereafter.
Great moments in film.
Donald Pleasance: his finest hour.
"8" & "7"
John Carpenter & the Richards girl.
Both at zenith.
A flawless motion picture event of film.
Pure.American.Film.
Great moments in film.
Arguably the finest trailer on sound track film.
"The basement"
&
The graveyard walk of roses.
Great moments in film.
"Miss Columbia"
-Double Tap-
Bore witness a couple of real rotten ones last night.
1. "The Tree of Life" with Penn & Pitt from 2011. 2 1/2 hours of pure, unadulterated horse . Did I stay all the way? Of course I did, like a fool. It's over on Hulu, but I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with it.
2. "The Babadook" from 2014. The dog is safe again. I wouldn't hit her in the ass with this one either. It's on the Amazon stream, but just leave it there.
Hulu is carrying -Once Upon a Time in Hollywood- though and at no extra fee. It just gets better with each successive viewing. Is it flawless? No, but it's close.
