I liked The Watchers, M Night's daughter's directorial debut.

Good or bad, it has to be seen. It's Axel Foley and the boys.

My family was on vacation and waterskiing when Jaws came out. We were at the pool at night and I ran up to the cabin to get something when I looked at the television and the trailer was running, the girl at the buoy at night. Needless to say, I was a little freaked out when we went skiing the next day.

Saw the second Dune movie. It's OK, some moments of utter brilliance and wonderful visuals as well. The casting of the bald villan was perfect but he felt late to the party and a bit rushed.
Looking at the two movies together, there was a lot of time wasted sitting around, chanting etc, on the whole spiritual side of the sand people. There was definitely room to trim the fat. Casting and writing for the lead female (romantic interest not the mother) was a real weak spot, it just didn't work. |

What an overrated steaming pile. A visual spectacle, yes, as are all Villeneuve movies. He has a tendency to sacrifice any kind of semblance of decent characters, acting, and story for visual razzle dazzle. I also think most of the actors are mis-cast. To be fair, Herbert's story is simplistic, reductionist, 'space jesus' crap. Revolutionary, maybe, in its day. But there's not much to work with. I DO however like the Lynch version. It's a campy silly story with an unintentionally campy film. I think, being produced in the early 80s, meant that the visuals couldn't be nearly as 'serious' as the new one. That's why it works for me as a total B movie. I can appreciate it for that. Bladerunner 2049 is the Villeneuve exception for me. I thought it was a great story, dovetailed well with the original, awesome visuals and decent acting. |

I just watched a movie I can't unsee....but then again....maybe I don't want to unsee it. SO over the top, it was amazing.
