Horizon, An American Saga
So Crusty Costner left Yellowstone to make this Western Saga, apparently will be 4 instalments. This looks pretty good.

Speculation on my part, at the end of the movie

What does that even mean?
Ok, cool. I was under the impression that Dune would just be a 2-parter. That explains John Wick and a buncha other stuff.

So.
I went to see Dune 2 today. I'm probably the contrarian here, but I'm going to go with "Meh". People are raging about it (good for them), but I was underwhelmed for a whole bunch of different reasons-- not the least of which was that the costume designers were probably dropping acid throughout the entire film production. Let's just say that the screen blurb that said the movie was only "Based on" the book was very, very accurate. I've read the book at least a dozen times since high school, and I had trouble following what was going on. Two (or more depending on how you count them and at least one miniseries) movies made about the book and I'm standing by my original thought that Dune is simply a story that can *not* be made into a movie. There are just too many moving parts that intertwine-- I just don't think that a movie will ever do it justice-- at least not with any coherence. If you enjoyed it, great.... but I found myself looking at my watch repeatedly during the movie-- never a good sign. Ymmv. R.

Watched DUNE 2.
Hmmmmm... I was expecting much more. I found it too much of a "Drama Love Story" with a sprinkle of Action here and there and too long. 2.5/5 for me. |

That's interesting. I thought the costume design was great. It was certainly less ridiculous than Lynch's and not cheesy/cheap like the miniseries. Irulan's outfits were a bit much, but that's about it. To each their own though!

Ferrari on Sky Cinema now, true story of how they won the '57 Mille Miglia but it came at a cost.
Driver and Cruz are remarkable in this Michael Mann film. * Full trailer. Last edited by M5Rick; 03-06-2024 at 05:44 AM.. |

5lbs of Pressure, gritty, realistic. That kid playing Luke Evan's son is gonna be a star, great acting, reminds me of River Phoenix. The whole cast was great.

"All the Light We Cannot See". It's a four-part miniseries on Netflix. My wife and I *really* enjoyed it. The cats even got into it. We finished the last episode this evening.
Aria Mia Loberti, the lead actress, is pretty mind-boggling: She's essentially blind, is trained in ballet and martial arts, has a yoga certification, graduated summa cum laude with three Majors in Philosophy, Communication Studies & Political Science, two Minors in Ancient Greek Languages & Rhetoric in the Honors program, has a Master's Degree in Ancient Rhetoric with Distinction (on a Fullbright Scholarship to London, no less) and has been working on her Doctorate in Ancient Rhetoric. Did I mention that she did all this while being functionally blind due to a genetic abnormality? Think about what *she's* accomplished the next time you're lazing on the couch complaining about the life not being fair and that the fridge's too far away to go get a beer. And then to top it off? She sent in a demo tape to a global casting audition for this role on a frelling whim. And got the part. With no acting training. Or experience. And it was her first audition. *Ever*. Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo are in it as well (and you only wonder what House and The Hulk are doing in wartime France for a few minutes). The CGI isn't great but it's not central to the story so you really don't mind. Overall, it's shot in a very lovely, very warm "film" technique that doesn't give you that overly digital feel-- a lot of the movie feels like you stepped into a photo from the 1940's. And the Nazi's? Yeah-- *Definitely* the Bad Guys. They maybe could have toned down their utter repulsiveness a bit. (But their uniforms *do* look fabulous. ) Well worth the watch! I just ordered the book for my wife. R.

I'll try not to be cruel. I hate to say rubbish because some might like this movie but my wife and I watched it last night and about 10 minutes in we knew it wasn't going to be good. The following comments are my opinion and if others like the movie then ok but I found the acting to be terrible, the whole thing just missed the mark for me. 1 hour and 49 minutes of my life I won't get back. Have at it if you want but don't say I didn't warn you.
